REZconnect Technologies, Inc. and Mailpound.com Announce Strategic Partnership to Implement Reservations Technology to E-Mail Broadcasts
REZconnect Technologies, Inc (NASDAQ: (otcbb) REZT), the developer of the unique net-to-phone-to-net reservations service, REZconnect, and Mailpound.com, the leading travel agent resource web site, today announced a strategic partnership agreement. The partnership will give the thousands of travel agents who subscribe to Mailpound.com the ability to book and confirm, in real-time, a travel supplier's e-mail promotion.
As a result of this agreement, REZconnect's web based reservations service will now be integrated into Mailpound.com's e-mail broadcasting platform. Travel Agents will be able to fulfill real-time reservations when a Mailpound.com user clicks on a link to make a reservation from one of the travel supplier specials received in an e-mail broadcast. A travel agent can fill out a reservations form and once submitted, information on the form will be converted into a phone call to the travel supplier's reservations desk. A computerized voice will request availability based on the information filled out in the form, which prompts the reservationist to accept or decline the reservation by pressing numbers on the telephone keypad. Once confirmed, the travel agent instantly receives the confirmation number on their computer screen.
According to Michael Brent, President & CEO of REZconnect Technologies, Inc. "Our joint venture with Mailpound.com will provide each of our companies with the opportunity to offer the entire travel supplier industry an opportunity to turn their e-mail broadcasts into interactive booking transactions."
Bob Maier, President & CEO of Mailpound.com, believes "Adding REZconnect Technology to Mailpound.com is the next logical step for increased efficiency in the sale of travel. Having matched a clients needs with one of the thousands of specials offers in the Mailpound.com database, the travel agent will now be able to book the specials with a minimal amount of effort."
Ori Klein, Chief Technology Officer of REZconnect Technologies, Inc stated, "The integration of the highly scaleable REZconnect web based reservation service with Mailpound.com's e-mail broadcast system has created a platform that enhances the way travel packages are booked and confirmed. We have utilized the net-to-phone-to-net reservations service to empower travel supplier's to receive and confirm bookings in a fast and accurate manner."
