Abacus International (Singapore), Asia Pacific's number one Global Distribution System (GDS) has introduced an innovative product to Sri Lankan Travel Agents.

Abacus Whiz Power Suite-a fully integrated Front-Mid and Back Office solution specially developed to automate the entire range of travel agency operations-from bookings and ticketing, to Accounts Reconciliation. It helps to streamline the agency workflow by boosting productivity, and efficiency and cutting costly errors. In essence, this powerful system caters to the workflow and dynamic requirements of a travel agency.

Abacus International Lanka (the local representative) said that Power Suite has been successfully implemented at several leading travel agencies such as Gabo Group of Companies, Thomas Cook Overseas Limited., Cey-Can travels and Millennium Holidays.

Harsha Rajawasam (Group Financial Controller Gabo Group of Companies) said, "Abacus Whiz Power Suite, provides us with timely access to all crucial management information that help us to plan our agency finances. In addition to vital management information, Power Suite provides a secure platform for our financial records where we are in control of assigning functional access rights to our staff based on their job function and now we can monitor more effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, Abacus Lanka provides timely solutions for any problems we may encounter in implementing the Power Suite system. It is easy for our accountants to work with them as their product support personnel have in-depth accounting knowledge which is a must when implementing an accounting software."

Hasitha Nanayakkara (Financial Controller, Thomas Cook Overseas Limited) said," Abacus International Lanka has assisted us to build a strong It-infrastructure at Thomas Cook. With the implementation of products such as Power Suite, we are now able to centralise our operations with more control over our day to day business operations. Also the technical support extended to us by Abacus in installing the network connection among our branches is very commendable. Abacus has also assisted Thomas Cook with the automation of our Travellers Cheques operation as well.

"We have been using power suite which was introduced to us by Abacus for almost two years and find it most versatile user friendly. This Back Office system designed specially for travel agents eases up most of the days work load by a few basic entries and also minimises the number of staff in the accounts department. It has helped us to be more cost effective but at the same time more professional whilst increasing productivity. Power suite also helps us obtain many financial and productivity reports which enable us to manage our organisation more effectively," said Michael Fernando (Managing Director Millennium Holidays (Pvt) Ltd.).
