Introduction
Smartpoint Cloud is an easy-to-use travel Point of Sale 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.
The current Smartpoint Cloud release supports a full booking and servicing workflow and is mainly based around a cryptic user interface. Releases throughout the alpha phase will add graphical interfaces. 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.
-
Multi-source content delivered into one convenient Point of Sale. Future development will incorporate content from ATPCo, NDC fares, hotel, car, and rail.
-
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.
Important: Smartpoint Cloud is designed to work on Chrome browsers.
Customize Smartpoint Cloud using the SDK

For example, plug-ins could be developed to provide the following:
-
Fulfill regional or agency-specific business needs

Integrate third-party applications with Smartpoint
