Ferry Booking & Ticketing Software

Use ferry demand information to guide pricing decisions.

Use demand and capacity information to guide commercial decisions. A yield-management workflow is a project-specific requirement, not a promise of an included automated revenue engine.

Start with comparable information

Compare departures using consistent measures such as booked passengers, vehicle demand and the fare sold. Distinguish reservations from confirmed bookings when interpreting demand.

Decide what the demand figure represents

A high number of enquiries, provisional reservations and confirmed bookings can mean different things. Establish which records contribute to a demand measure before using it to change fares. Then define the commercial decision, the affected channels and the permitted limits. Automated yield rules or an external optimisation connection require a confirmed project scope.

  • Use consistent booking statuses and dates
  • Define the commercial action and its limits
  • Assess the automation separately from standard tariffs

Define a decision before automating it

Specify when a fare may change, which channels receive it and what happens to a booking already in progress. Set boundaries so the commercial team can explain the outcome.

Confirm the available solution

Travelmanager provides the booking, fare and reporting foundation. Discuss the demand-based rules or external optimisation connection you require so their implementation can be confirmed.
