In a game-changing move for the corporate travel industry, Magnatech® Travel Management Solutions has forged a strategic alliance with the influential Link Travel Group. This cutting-edge collaboration promises to dramatically enhance operational efficiency for Link Travel Group’s agencies, marking a new era in travel management solutions by integrating Magnatech’s innovative OnTrackplus® tool.
Formed in 2022 through a joint venture between Flight Centre Travel Group, Goldman Travel Corporation, and the Spencer Group of Companies, Link Travel Group has consistently raised the bar in providing exceptional value to its members. Their latest partnership with Magnatech underscores this commitment by equipping member agencies with the tools to streamline operations and eliminate inefficiencies.
Game-Changing Technology: OnTrackplus®
At the heart of this partnership is OnTrackplus, a dynamic tool designed to simplify the otherwise tedious task of tracking unused tickets. For agencies managing high volumes of travel, the manual tracking of tickets is time-consuming and prone to errors. OnTrackplus automates the entire process, offering a range of critical benefits:
- Time Efficiency: Account managers and consultants save significant time each month by automating the process of tracking unused tickets.
- Error Elimination: OnTrackplus minimizes the risk of costly mistakes tied to manual tracking and calculations. This is particularly valuable in avoiding airline debit memos (ADMs) associated with ticket exchange errors.
- Enhanced Visibility: The platform provides comprehensive oversight, allowing agencies to see the complete status of tickets, whether they are open, exchanged, refunded, or expired. This further refines client services and improves revenue management.
Real-World Success: Goldman Travel
Key Link Travel Group members have already demonstrated the effectiveness of OnTrackplus. Goldman Travel Corporation, the group’s cornerstone, reports significant time savings and operational improvements after adopting the technology. In a recent case study, the agency highlighted how OnTrackplus streamlined its workflow and maximized resource efficiency, further reinforcing the decision to expand the tool across the more comprehensive Link Travel Group network.
“The operational transformation we’ve experienced with OnTrackplus is remarkable. It’s not just about saving time—it’s about ensuring accuracy and providing the best possible service to our clients,” stated a representative from Goldman Travel. This success story has paved the way for broader adoption, with multiple agencies within Link Travel Group now utilizing OnTrackplus to improve their operational strategies.
A Competitive Edge for Link Travel Group
The strategic decision to partner with Magnatech reflects Link Travel Group’s forward-thinking approach to business travel management. Four agencies already benefit from OnTrackplus’s capabilities, positioning the group as a leader in travel innovation.
Scott Darlow, General Manager at Link Travel Group, emphasized the importance of this collaboration:
“This partnership with Magnatech is a testament to our commitment to delivering superior value and efficiency to our member agencies. By harnessing the power of OnTrackplus, we’re enabling our agencies to operate more effectively, minimize errors, and focus on delivering exceptional service to clients.”
Expert Insight from Magnatech
Susan Enners, Regional Sales Director, APAC at Magnatech, is equally enthusiastic about the partnership. “We’re excited to collaborate with Link Travel Group and bring our expertise to the forefront of their operations. OnTrackplus has proven itself as an invaluable tool for reducing operational inefficiencies, and we’re confident it will enhance client servicing and business outcomes for Link Travel’s members.”
Enners, with her extensive experience in the Australian and New Zealand travel technology landscape, highlighted how the tool’s design directly addresses the critical pain points faced by corporate and business travel agencies. By automating ticket management, agencies can provide more service to their clients while improving their bottom line.
