The Planitas IBE is extremely fast, robust and scalable and enables efficient online booking of an airline’s inventory and can be integrated with any host system such as SABRE or GABRIEL.

The airline uses a simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) to maintain the fares it chooses to sell on the internet and these fares can be made available to the market in a very short time.  The airline can choose to offer any flights with its own IATA designator provided that it holds inventory in the host.

 It has a unique “look to book ratio” of 0:1. The Planitas IBE only interfaces with the host to create a booking which further reduces host High Speed Message costs.

The Planitas IBE currently interfaces with both BIBIT and Realex credit card processing centres but other providers can be supported.

Ticketing options include e-ticketing, ticket-on-departure or the Planitas ‘super e-ticket solution’.

Maximise return on investment
Planitas uses a relational database which contains the airlines schedule, inventory and fares data and this both minimises communications with the reservation host system and dramatically increases the speed of the IBE and significantly reduces costs.

Flexible and intuitive
The Planitas IBE follows the four-page booking sequence used by the majority of online air travel booking sites. The IBE provides an intuitive interface for the customer, making the booking process simple and very quick. Intelligent drop down menus and inter-locked calendars ensure that the customer can only select valid input parameters (e.g. routes) and dates.

The customer profile functions also ensure that repeat customers do not have to re-enter their personal details. Additionally, client-side error handling allows any mistakes to be handled immediately without frustrating delays as is the case with traditional IBEs which interface with the Host System.
