Smartpoint Cloud is our newly designed agent point of sale retailing platform that focuses on putting people at the center of the experience. Travel advisers will love how simple it is to use, whether they’re a novice or an experienced agent personalizing the workspace to match their own preferences and working from any PC. Travel admins will love how easily it integrates with their own systems and with other Travelport products, without needing local deployment. Business owners will love how effectively it works to combine multiple sources of air and hospitality content into one place, maximizing agent efficiencies.
Travelport will continue this iterative release process until the product is commercially available. The early releases may not contain all features critical for your business; therefore, these early releases may not be suitable for all. However, the product will continue to evolve as features are added over time.
The key elements of Smartpoint Cloud are:
-
Delivered through the cloud. Smartpoint Cloud is accessed via a PC or Mac browser, needs no installation or maintenance, and will be updated without any downloading. Note: Mobile or Tablet devices are not supported at this time.
-
Multi-source content delivered into one convenient Point of Sale.
-
Focus around the user experience. Through repeated research prototyping and agent interviews, it reflects a set of design principles that will help existing users feel comfortable, reduce additional training, and enable both cryptic and graphical experiences to appeal to both the experienced and novice agent.
-
More capabilities and features will be unlocked as the product matures.
