Proprietary Technology
GlobalStar partners are committed to developing and maintaining only the most innovative and cost-effective technology. As such, GlobalStar provides clients with global information consolidation and reporting, and true global content sourcing. Our proprietary tools: FareStar, DataStar, and ProfileStar. were created by GlobalStar in order to enable us to partner with our large multinational companies to more effectively manage their travel costs.
FareStar
FareStar is a groundbreaking proprietary tool allowing GlobalStar representatives to search GlobalStar's global fare database with fares from any country, and on every Global Distribution System (GDS), allowing GlobalStar clients to benefit from the different IATA rules around the world, as well as any discrepancies between the different GDS. In a single search, agents can access over one million local market fares from any of their GlobalStar partners in addition to GDS and Internet content.
- FareStar will allow your GlobalStar Travel Management Company to scan multiple databases in multiple countries in a single search.
- Search every GDS - if SABRE is cheaper in the US, is it in Singapore? We'll check it out for you.
- Search Net fares loaded on to each GDS - is there a spot fare available to Travel Agents in France? If there is we'll get it.
- In today's environment of GDS deregulation and potential content fragmentation, it's possible that your preferred carrier is in one GDS and not in another. FareStar will allow your GlobalStar Travel Management Company to manage multi-GDS searches. We're prepared, and we can handle it.
ProfileStar
ProfileStar allows GlobalStar clients to enter and amend their travel profile 24 hours a day, and from anywhere in the world. ProfileStar will automatically update any of the four major GDS as well as integrated online booking tools, thus saving the travel agents time re-keying the information, improving accuracy, and removing any time delays for travelers. GlobalStar plans to use this tool to ensure seamless service across the globe regardless of the members' GDS or other technology platforms.
The benefits of ProfileStar are divided between the Traveler, the Travel Booker and their Company.
