While automation through technology has contributed immensely to the travel industry, there is still a high degree of manual pricing dependency that ensures airfares are sourced at the lowest price possible. Manually sourcing airfare deals from different providers including GDSs can become a costly and time consuming affair for travel managers and hence error prone as well. Hence travel companies need revolutionary technology that can help them save time, reduce cost, simplify procurement processes, and consolidate airfares from different sources at one point besides providing multi-functional options.

Fitting the bill is a ground-breaking travel technology called MyFareBox currently in its version 5G, provided by travel technology innovators Mystifly Consulting (India) Pvt Ltd. MyFareBox 5G is an anywhere-to-anywhere airfare aggregation, consolidation and fulfilment platform offering bookable and ticket-able airfare content from more than 900 airlines across over 70 countries. MyFareBox 5G increases profitability, reduces transaction costs, simplifies procurement processes and improves customer service, providing an opportunity for air travel companies to transform their business across geographies. This global travel technology solution has been honoured by Microsoft through “Code for Honor” for Microsoft's Solution Excellence Awards 2014. The award is specially designed to recognize and reward companies building outstanding software solutions. Mystifly has also been named as Dream Company to Work For (Travel Technology) 2015 by 23rd World HRD Congress. The company has also achieved Best Global Travel Consolidation Services award consecutively in 2014 and 2015 by India Travel Awards, and it is today the most preferred airfare consolidator services company globally.

Airfare consolidation is offering under a single platform various airfare content such as consolidator/private fares, public & market specific local airfares across fare variants including marine fares, student fares, labour fares, military fares and other fare types from multi-GDS (Global Distribution System) and multi Point-of-Sale Pseudo City Codes (PCCs).

Avant-garde travel technology
In the current market scenario, most airfare consolidation services providers either cover limited geographies or have access to only a few GDSs or are handicapped by the incapability to transact in multiple currencies. Hence, travel organisations need to search different GDSs, airlines individually and compare them manually to find lowest airfares. In addition, they face currency hurdles and exchange costs while managing international travels. Also, as their customer business grows, managing the global spread locally becomes a nightmare for the travel companies.

With Mystifly, these issues are taken care of in an assured manner because of the large repertoire of consolidator fares of 900+ airlines from 70+ countries available on MyFareBox 5G, with the added advantage of transacting in local currency. This is precisely the reason why MyFareBox 5G is the preferred choice of over 6000 travel professionals in 55+ countries across the globe.
