UNIGLOBE® TRAVEL MANAGER (UTM Quality Control System)

With UNIGLOBE Travel Manager we have combined sophisticated computer technology with hands-on involvement to ensure that our clients receive the lowest possible airfare and the maximum travel policy compliance.

With over a million airfare changes every day, it is important to use advanced technology and experienced travel professionals for effective travel management.

From the time a reservation is made, our Quality Control System will perform generic tests at regular intervals on every booking right through until departure.

A few examples of the numerous tests it carries out are:

• Waitlist clearance
• Fare checks, alerting your consultant to any cheaper fares that may become available
• Visa check
• Preferred seat allocation
• Account Specific Tests as required, i.e. ensuring we have purchase order number, embargoes and Travel Policy compliance.

• Accesses over 650 airlines and more than 50,000 hotels.
• A complete management system for the maintenance and distribution of UNIGLOBE®’s negotiated fares from airlines with real-time updating for new deals or amendments to existing deals.
