Travel Service won the "gold" with the solution from AARON GROUP
The ceremonial announcement of the winners of the Internet Effectiveness Awards (IEA) for the year 2014 was held on Thursday, 16 April. This year more than 45 solutions entered the competition in eleven categories. In the category Tourism and Transport there was nominated also the new flight booking system of the company Travel Service/Smart Wings, developed by the Czech company AARON GROUP.
This solution was then evaluated by a professional jury as the most effective in its category, and took the well-deserved first place.
Travel Service is the largest Czech airline company that has operated on the market over the last 15 years. Under the brand named Smart Wings it offers flights to more than forty European and worldwide destinations. Online flight ticket sale is ensured through the booking system, whose provider is currently AARON GROUP. The new solution includes not only the sale of the flight tickets but it also offers additional services such as excess baggage, seat and food selection or buying of a travel insurance.
"Online sale of ancillary services is currently an important tool to distinguish themselves from the competition, though especially how to get additional revenue," says Zdenek Hoffmann, Sales Director of AARON GROUP.
The new booking system of Smart Wings is built on the latest generation of e-Commerce platform Symphony (www.symphony.cz) joining the global inventory system of the company SITA (www.sita.aero) which is fully integrated with the Payment center Paython (www.paython.eu).
The Internet Effectiveness Awards competition has entered its seventh year. It is organized by Asociace.BIZ - Association of providers of the Internet solutions. The aim of the IEA is to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of the solution regardless of whether the contracting authority is a small organization or a large company. The jury is composed of experts who have already achieved goals in particular projects. The effectiveness of the solutions is evaluated not only by the representatives of academia, professional associations and independent experts, but also by journalists and managers of successful online projects.
The Award for the solution Travel Service/Smart Wings was picked up by Zdenek Hoffmann from the position of the supplier, AARON GROUP.
He briefly and concisely stated: "I am very pleased that we have customers who own the most effective Internet solutions."
