Hey agents! We’ve got some time-saving tips for you

Hand depositing  clock  in piggy bank on background

Are you always running low on time, despite employing your best time management skills at every turn? Then these tips are for you.

We’ve all been there – work piles up, procrastination rears its ugly head, and all of a sudden you’re drowning in work, with more and more being thrown your way.

Luckily, there are ways around it. But short of quitting your job and moving to a deserted island, there are a few ways to maximise your workflow and productivity.

Pro tip: start in the morning. This is when most people are the most productive – which means you’re bound to get more work done earlier rather than later. So as soon as you arrive to work in the morning, make a list of the most important tasks you need to do. And start!

But for travel agents in particular, we know this can be a bit tricky – especially with clients walking in or calling every five minutes for an update on their booking.

Well, what if we told you that you could have all your clients on a self-service portal?

This is exactly what you can do with Vto Ultimate, the brand new web-based, mid-office solution available from Amadeus.

Basically, it’s a magical solution for all your financial management needs, fully integrated with your systems which allow you to streamline your business operations to ultimately save time and reduce costs. And yep – it includes a self-service client portal.

The client portal empowers your clients to access their documentation 24/7 without the need to contact you. They can view receipts, invoices and travel itineraries as well as update their profile data, by selecting the fully encrypted secure link provided by you. It’s basically (definitely) a virtual travel office too, so it’s accessible anytime, anywhere.

And a world where clients don’t need to come to you to double check their itineraries is one where you’ll save a ton of time.

But that’s not all – there are also a myriad of other automated time-saving features on Vto Ultimate – integration capabilities for seamless workflow, for one. It also automates all those pesky management tasks like invoicing and payments to suppliers. Which means that before you know it, you’ll have all the time in the world.

And Vto Ultimate is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Amadeus’ portfolio of leading technology and travel platform. Watch this space for more!
