So what we did was to add more content as well as made it easier for agents to gather that information, in order to make consolidated bookings and customised itineraries for their customers," said Mr Kenneth Low, Vice President, South Asia Region, Abacus International.

The new look graphical user interface (GUI) is more user friendly and will improve the overall experience of the agents. The upgraded solution ensures increased stability and faster response times.
