New Automated Clearing House (ACH) Capability Settles Agency
Commissions Faster Than Ever; Other Improvements Include Passive
PNR Integration, Increased Net Rate Inventory SAN FRANCISCO, July
11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CCRA International, a subsidiary of
OneLink Corporation (OTC:OLNK) (BULLETIN BOARD: OLNK) , today
announced a series of enhancements to its booking/settlement portal
for travel agents. Leading the list of improvements to the CCRA
portal, a breakthrough travel agent tool that offers upfront
commission settlement for hotels and other travel services, is a
new electronic ACH (Automated Clearing House) capability that
enables agencies' commissions to be paid via electronic deposit,
directly into the agency banking account. Along with this new
service -- a world-class method for improving agency cash flow --
CCRA International has made several other upgrades and additions to
the portal including: -- Passive PNR Integration -- Once an agency
has entered its GDS branch office information into their CCRA
booking profile, future client hotel bookings can be added into the
client's PNR (Passenger Name Record) file as a passive segment
(agencies much be Sabre- or Amadeus-enabled); -- Increased Net Rate
Inventory -- The CCRA portal now has net rate information for 5,000
additional hotel properties worldwide, enabling agents to earn up
to 100% commission; -- Guest Finder -- An ease-of-use enhancement
that allows agents to quickly retrieve a previous guest profile,
facilitating faster reservations placement; -- Landmark
Search-Enables agents to search hotel properties by nearby
landmarks within major USA destination cities. "With the addition
of electronic ACH payment, there isn't a faster way for travel
agencies to receive commission settlement than through the CCRA
Portal," said Mai Meyaart, vice president and managing director of
CCRA International. "CCRA is committed to removing all the barriers
to agency performance -- financial as well as operational. These
new enhancements improve quality of service for clients while
helping agencies remain competitive and profitable." CCRA
