Make your agency more productive and profitable with Amadeus
Amadeus recently launched a booking platform that’s ideal for small, brick and mortar agencies, start-ups, Home Based professionals, cruise-only agencies and non GDS-affiliated agents. Formerly known as Agenta in the U.S. and Canada, this newly re-branded global solution offers a variety of options to help your agency save money, make more, and focus on selling — without the headaches of agency ownership.
Our re-branded options include:
• Amadeus Mobility Package (formerly Agenta [basic pack]): For travel agents new to the industry, or cruise-only agents with little GDS experience or travel industry background.
• Amadeus Professional Package (formerly Agenta): For travel professionals with GDS experience and travel industry background.
Both solutions are designed specifically for agencies that seek the benefits of traditional booking functionality without the headaches associated with a traditional travel agency.

Save Money, Make Money — Without the Hassles!
With Amadeus Mobility Package and Amadeus Professional Package, you’ll be connected to proven selling tools that give your agency a simpler way to manage your business. Stay competitive by reinventing the way you work — with Amadeus as your technology partner.
Your new solution will bring together innovative technology, travel content, marketing opportunities and fulfilment services under the umbrella of a single point-of-sale reservations platform. And the best part is, you’ll be free of tedious back-office functions, enabling you to focus on building your business and increasing revenue. Plus, you’ll gain the efficiency and cost-savings usually reserved for large agencies.
According to Amadeus senior vice president of products and support Robert Lowry, both Amadeus Mobility Package and Amadeus Professional Package help agency owners experience greater autonomy, freedom and flexibility — and renew the joys of selling travel.
“Our customers continually remind us that our solutions play a key role in helping them rediscover the fun of being a travel agent again,” he said.
