Reduce development efforts and
improve overall
search performance
Cruise cache data from individual sources
needs to be standardized in order to be
efficiently accessed. When there is missing
data, it creates the need to manually capture
the missing information. This results in
time consuming and expensive work
being performed to ensure all cruise line
information is consistent and accurate within
your internal cache system. In addition, as
non-cache transactions are routed directly
to the individual Cruise Line systems, this
means slower processing during peak seasons
causing unnecessary lost responses and
customer dissatisfaction.
Amadeus Cruise Data Cache provides the
travel industries highest source of Global
cruise content available today, all within a
convenient and single source. This important
information is provided to you through a
secured channel in which you determine the
frequency of data reception.
