Online ticket system for end customers
Enterprise systems
The consultants at eMundo were instrumental in the development of an Internet portal for rail ticket sales. It has been the most visited eCommerce website in Germany for many years.
This project implemented the capturing of booking data and set-up of a booking process for the online sales portal for private, corporate and major customers. The portal gives customers the option to purchase tickets online as an anonymous or registered user. The solution offers a large number of personalisation options within the portal and the booking process (such as preset destinations or seat reservations). Tickets can also be bought using mobile phones, via WAP and MMS.
Furthermore, interfaces were implemented to other providers in the travel sector, such as car hire companies and hotels.
