New offering for tour operators and providers of packaged travel

Amadeus has partnered with Fourth Dimension Software (FDS), a software development and services company for the travel industry, to deliver a solution to tour operators and providers of packaged travel.

Called FDS’ Contour, the new travel management solution delivers capability for inventory management, packaging, reservations, multi-channel distribution and operational (mid-/back-office) business processes.

It enables tour operators to lower costs by streamlining and reducing manual processes, expand multi-channel distribution, and adapt quickly and easily to changing market conditions with a flexible rules engine, according to Amadeus. 

Once implemented, Contour can be interfaced to Amadeus Web Services to easily source flights in a streamlined process; to Amadeus Master Pricer, the low fare search tool, which will enable tour operators to add the cheapest and most relevant flight component to the holiday package they create; and to TravelTainment’s multi-channel distribution front-ends.
