Magnatech simplifies unused credit management for TMCs
Magnatech enhances OnTrackplus with full NDC ticket status automation across Amadeus, Travelport+, and Sabre, streamlining airline credit tracking for TMCs. Magnatech Travel Management Solutions has announced a significant enhancement to its capabilities, reinforcing its commitment to simplifying airline credit tracking for Travel Management Companies (TMCs). This latest advancement enables seamless automation of processing NDC ticket PNRs booked in the GDS across all three major Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) – Amadeus, Travelport+ (Galileo), and now Sabre. Magnatech has successfully been reading NDC PNRs from all three major GDSs since March 2023. This capability has ensured that GDS NDC bookings have been integrated into all of Magnatech's offerings over the past two years: OnQueue interactive itineraries and invoices, SafeToGo traveller tracking and automated risk messaging, MTWorkflows automated workflows, and OnTrackplus tickets-on-hold tracking and reporting. The recent update focuses on the OnTrackplus platform. Through dedicated innovation and strong partnerships, Magnatech has further streamlined the flight credit tracking process. OnTrackplus requires not only reading the PNR but also determining the ticket status. Previously, automation of flown status identification was limited to Amadeus and Travelport+. The inclusion of Sabre NDC ticket status automation now achieves full ticket status tracking parity across all three major GDSs. This advancement ensures that TMCs can track and manage ticket statuses with unparalleled simplicity, regardless of the GDS booking channel. This is particularly valuable for agencies with multiple GDSs seeking workflow consistency. 'The ability to identify and collect NDC tickets booked in the GDS, combined with automated ticket status tracking across Amadeus, Travelport+, and Sabre, empowers TMCs to deliver greater efficiency and accuracy in credit management, making sure no money is left on the table,' said Paul Gioia, CEO of Magnatech. 'As airlines globally continue to ramp up NDC bookings and GDSs expand NDC ticketing, our solutions ensure TMCs can meet these demands seamlessly.' These enhancements have been made possible through strong and collaborative relationships with Amadeus, Travelport, and Sabre. Magnatech acknowledges the dedication and partnership of these GDSs in achieving this milestone. Their support underscores a shared goal of driving innovation and simplifying operations for TMCs worldwide. Magnatech remains committed to delivering solutions that add measurable value to its clients and support the evolving needs of the travel industry. As the landscape of NDC bookings continues to grow, Magnatech is leading the way with solutions that simplify and streamline complex processes for TMC partners.
