Neat Online refers to the many third party and supplier.com websites that host Neat’s dynamic packaging engine allowing self-booking packages by consumers on their sites. Online customers benefit from significantly reduced prices than if they were purchasing those travel components separately, and suppliers significantly expand the distribution and sale of their ‘opaque-package rates’ to travelers ‘shopping’ for their destination.
Supplier Benefits:
Neat’s Dynamic Packaging engine provides a powerful and cost-effective tool for increasing sales and managing yield through an extensive network of multiple distribution channels, including both Neat Online and Galileo Neat Agent opportunities:
- Customer Brand Loyalty when you adopt Neat Dynamic Packaging Engine on your own supplier.com website, by offering the enhanced service of a complete travel booking process.
- Opaque Pricing: Inventory is sold only when combined with another travel component. Pricing is never revealed to the traveler, other suppliers or the distributor Web site.
- Bookings are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-cancelable, with total revenue for the trip payable at the time of booking.
- Bookings and payments are processed electronically using existing distribution technologies – reducing management overhead and reconciliation processes.
- Supplier discretion to facilitate quoting of the appropriate product and price according to the distribution channel, trip characteristics, and other travel components
- Suppliers take no inventory risk. There are no external blocks or blackout dates to manage. All sales are subject to the pricing and rules defined by the supplier
- Pricing in fully yieldable rates with no pre-market pricing commitments. All taxes and mandatory fees are automatically calculated and payable in local currency.
