Scandinavian online travel company, Nordic Direct Travel, has chosen to partner with OpenJaw Technologies for a new travel technology platform.

The platform will power online travel agencies GoToGate in Norway & Sweden and Flybillet in Denmark.

Nordic Direct Travel, a subsidiary of VIA Travel AS, chose the new technology platform in order to consolidate its brands GoToGate.no, GoToGate.se and Flybillet.dk onto a single platform, which supports multiple currencies and languages as well as access to a common back office system.

The new technology platform will also support the dynamic packaging of air and hotel components which can then be combined with ancillary products, such as events and destination activities, insurance and other travel services.

Nordic Direct Travel will also use the platform for servicing, allowing their call centre agents to amend bookings as well as the cross-selling and up-selling of travel products.

Jon Even Sørlie, CEO, Nordic Direct Travel said other than streamlining its operations and reducing maintenance costs, the "platform will also enable us to Dynamically Package our inventory and offer multiple selling processes such as shopping cart, the cross selling of hotels and cars and add-on components such as events and insurance".
