Amadeus Central Reservation System vs. Revinate

Amadeus Reservation System is a travel resource used by travel agents and industry organizations worldwide to book flights, rental cars, cruises, hotels, and other travel experiences. It is user-friendly and provides accurate travel inventory data. Agents benefit from its free training and certification program, and the travel industry likes its efficiency, professional support, and broad offerings. Amadeus is a great travel resource, but its conventional approaches are outdated and burdensome to master.

Revinate is a great platform for smaller-sized hotels who do not need the advanced functionalities of a larger ESP like Salesforce Marketing Cloud. You do not need coding experience, but if you would like to custom-code your emails you can do so. The automation features leave room for improvement as does its reporting features

Incentivized

• Simple, understandable, and logical instructions.
• PNR changes on issued tickets are easy.
• It has been able to find and sell airline tickets quickly.
• It is simple to use for making PNRs and purchasing plane tickets.
• It has a simple five-step process for generating flight PNRs.

• The audience segmentation is excellent. I use this the most since I create targeted, segmented campaigns.
• Ease of use if you have experience with other email platforms.
• Analytics reporting.

Incentivized

• Expensive subscriptions.
• It takes some effort to book a hotel or car.
• It loads slowly, and updates are rare.

• Streamline how we answer reviews further. I feel like we should not have to log into Revinate and log into third party sites to answer reviews. Revinate would have partnerships with these third parties to streamline the review answering process.
• I also don't like how Revinate will not give direct access to Wyndham franchise users. We have to log into a MyPortal account and then into Revinate using the MyPortal link. It would be more efficient to have direct access and capabilities.
• Make your report creation area user-friendly. You don't offer much training or help assistance in learning to create reports.

Amadeus Reservation System is a top-tier option for booking
travel. It makes sharing airport and baggage policies with passengers easier
and speeds up checking in and paying for flights. It is user- and
operator-friendly, comprehensive, straightforward, precise, and up-to-date with
technological and data developments. When compared to competing systems, it is
both user- and operator-friendly

Revinate is perfect for our small-to-medium sized hotel clients who do not need a more advanced ESP. If you have a larger client that needs more advanced features, I would suggest using Salesforce. If you require more in-depth reporting and automation features for a small to mid sized client, Mailchimp is also a great choice. I do not recommend TravelClick for any clients.

• It's up-to-date with digital technology and data developments while being comprehensive and straightforward.
• It speeds up flight and fare checks, and sharing flight terminals and baggage allowances with clients helps.

• Our ROI with Revinate has helped us take back some of our OTA revenue, and for the first time ever, our brand.com revenue outpaced our OTA revenue, due to our email campaigns. We are a small indie hotel and this is crucial for us.
