Induction to a ready-to-use solution to handle the business accounting and risk management of operations in connection with General Sales Agents (GSA)

1. CSAS - Chronos Sales Agent System
Primarily developed for airlines, this is a ready-to-use solution to handle the business accounting and risk man-
agement of their operations in connection with General Sales Agents (GSA). This solution provides full support
of all the transactions handled with GSAs from the flight ticket sales to the fulfillment of the commitments to sup-
pliers all the way to the end of the financial settlement. Because sales revenues are generally higher than the
level of liabilities, and the airline receives its revenue later, business transactions are fraught with several risks
carried out by GSAs. This system helps to reduce this risk significantly.
The main advantages are within 3 areas:
* Ready-to-use product
* Proven, tested application
* Immediate implementation
* Maintenance is simple and highly cost efficient
* Rapid ROI (right after the system implementation )
A system tailored specifically for Airlines
- Modular design: Inside (used by the airline) and Outside (used by GSA’s)
- Manages special ‘products’ and processes (e.g. ticket sales, stock management by ticket numbers)
- Cooperating with the Amadeus system
- This one system handles all aspects of the sales process all the way to the commission settlement
- Providing information towards the financial and the general ledger system
