Travel Sciences Inc. Joins Datacap Solution Provider Network
Taskmaster Enables Remote Scanning & Capture for Survey Processing
November 23, 2004, Tarrytown, NY - Datacap announced today that Travel Sciences Inc. has joined Datacap's Solution Provider network. The company will market Datacap Taskmaster as an integrated document scanning and automation capability within its portfolio of enterprise-level travel technology solutions.
Taskmaster is featured as an enabling technology in Travel Science's overseas visitor entry and tourist bureau data entry solution. Travel Bureau(tm) is a web-based application that combines advanced document automation, workflow, and optical character recognition (OCR) data capture technology to automate the processing of visitor arrival and departure statistics, travel CRM, call center support, and fulfillment functions.
Travel Sciences specializes in business-oriented technology solutions to the travel industry. Web-based, enterprise software solutions are available for cruise and tour operators, vacation packagers and retail travel distributors. With headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut and offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Travel Sciences provides the travel industry with technology platforms for integrated CRM, booking and reservation processing, inventory management, back-office and real time reporting, and 360° degree campaign and marketing management.
Soon after Travel Sciences partnered with Datacap, British Virgin Islands (BVI) selected the company's Travel Bureau product to help increase their market intelligence capabilities. Tourists complete surveys upon arrival and departure, and fast access to this market intelligence will help BVI reach key demographic groups more effectively and attract new visitors.
Taskmaster Web's remote scanning capability enables surveys to be scanned on site at BVI ports of entry, located on its many islands, including Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost van Dyke. Taskmaster will automate data entry and survey processing, including machine reading custom forms designed to obtain key marketing intelligence.
"Integrating Taskmaster into our cohesive technology environment enables us to offer a cost-effective solution to overseas tourism boards that reduces manual data-entry overhead costs, decreases processing time, and provides fast data accessibility and reporting," says Joe Mazzarella, president of Travel Sciences. "The Taskmaster Web component adds remote scanning to our capabilities, which in the case of the geographically dispersed British West Indies, helped us meet their needs. In addition, we will utilize Taskmaster's document automation for a variety of travel industry specific applications in connection with our solution portfolio. When integrated with our cohesive CRM and transaction processing framework, extremely powerful end to end business automation solutions are available that increase efficiency, lower costs of doing business and provide real time business intelligence."
