We've recently launched a number of enhancements to the StreamThru platform to help small and medium sized travel agents and tour operators who want to provide a mobile itinerary and mobile travel information to their customers. Now, SME travel companies can offer their own-branded mobile service to their customers at no cost to them or their customers. It's a really simple way for travel companies to reinforce their brand with customers when they're travelling by providing travellers with a valuable service.
The mobile service saves travellers time by pulling together relevant travel information into one place and making it accessible through a mobile-web site on their mobile phone. And, who doesn't carry a mobile phone when they're travelling these days?
At any time when they're on the move, travellers can access a mobile version of their itinerary and context sensitive information relevant to the current stage of their trip. For example: the traveller may see flight status and traffic reports when they're travelling to the airport, whereas they'd see weather forecasts and travel guides when they're at their destination.
To get started, SME travel companies either:
- Add a widget to their web-site (no coding required), where the customer can tell the mobile service about their travel plans
- Or, to save the customer from re-entering data, the travel company can add a check-box to their booking process asking customers to opt-in and they then pass the customer's itinerary to us through the StreamThru API (application programming interface)
If you want to see the widget in action, take a look at the example we've created on Facebook.
To sign-up, SME travel companies need to register as a StreamThru partner.
Once you've registered follow the on-screen instructions to customise the branding of the widget and mobile-web site and if you want to pass booking data through our API, you'll be able to download our API instruction guide.
