Online technology solutions specialist GoQuo Ltd’s recently-established Kuala Lumpur office has won three new travel industry customers.

The company has also received official government designation as a Malaysia Status Company (MSC). This official status will enable GoQuo Malaysia to continue developing and tailoring its core online travel technology and dynamic packaging solutions to the needs of the Malaysian and wider Far East travel industry.

The three new Malaysian travel trade customers include Malaysia Holiday Tours, part of Malaysia ’s largest corporate travel agency, which has implemented GoQuo’s GQDynamic dynamic packaging solution.

According to GoQuo, Abacus-powered Holiday Tours is the first Malaysian agency to offer online dynamic packaging services through its recently-launched B2C web site. This provides online customers with more choice and value by providing real-time access to a full range of look-and-book choices for air, hotel and car content, as well as travel insurance and package holidays.

GoQuo has also signed with MSL Travel, Malaysia’s leading student and youth travel agency. MSL has made the strategic decision to evolve its business model towards internet-based services as its core student market is ‘web savvy’. GoQuo will implement its GQAgent flight booking engine on MSL’s web site, customising it to MSL’s requirements.

GoQuo’s third new Malaysian customer is Sedunia Travel, which offers a full range of flight, car and hotel booking services, plus its particular specialism in escorted group tours and tour packages for inbound and outbound leisure and corporate travellers. Sedunia is launching a new website mainly targeting leisure travellers, though it will also offer business travel services. GoQuo’s GQAgent solution will enable Sedunia to provide real-time booking of flights (drawn from its own contracts as well as Abacus inventory), hotels and car rental.

GoQuo managing director and founder Ron Ramanan said: “This combination of news is tremendously exciting for GoQuo and its strategic plans for expansion. Our decision to set up a satellite office in Kuala Lumpur is fully vindicated and with MSC recognition, we can really drive forward our regional product development and sales plans. Malaysia is a real hotbed of technology development, and we look forward to giving and getting new insights into how our online technology vision can support the goals of travel businesses across the Far East.”
