Travelport Mobile Agent was developed by Travel Technology & Solutions (TTS), and is without doubt one of the first products to be made available globally as a result Travelport Developer Network, an initiative driven by Travelport’s mission to offer flexible access to content via an open platform. Travelport Mobile Agent highlights the success of this initiative, with the App successfully deployed inside the Americas, Brazil, Middle East, Portugal, Spain and the united kingdom, with greater than 15,000 downloads since its official launch in July 2012.
Alex Fitzpatrick, Travelport’s General Manager, Pacific, says “We are thrilled to be launching Travelport Mobile Agent inside the Pacific region. The appliance was very successful since its initial launch, and travel agents within the Pacific have expressed a powerful interest for the technology to be deployed here. This mobile solution represents our company’s continued investment in serving agents who’re on-the-go, that is a very important step within this sort of fast evolving industry.”
As some of the global leaders in travel technology, Travelport continues to encourage the developer community to create innovative ideas to improve travel in the course of the Travelport Developer Network and Travelport Universal API™. As such, Travelport is proud to be among the main sponsors of the Tnooz THack event in Sydney, going on during April 2013.
