Bidvest and Hollard now on Amadeus

AGENTS can now issue
Bidvest and Hollard travel
insurance while booking
in the Amadeus Selling
Platform and Sell Connect.
Because insurance is
now an integral part of the
Amadeus Selling Platform,
agents are able to add an
insurance policy as a result
of Amadeus’s partnership
with global insurance
aggregator, Hepstar.
Insurance policies can be
added to a flight booking
without having to leave the
booking flow. What’s more,
traveller and trip details are
automatically pre-populated
and insurance bookings are
fully integrated into the PNR
and back office system. This
helps save time and effort
and also allows for easy
reporting and after-sales
service.
“Ancillary sales like
insurance present a terrific
opportunity for agents to
generate additional revenue,
while simultaneously
responding to their clients’
needs by offering them the
product they need at the
time they need it,” says
Jannine Adams, senior
marketing manager of
Amadeus Southern Africa.
Claudia Snyman, chief
operating officer of Hepstar,
adds that the partnership
ensures all its insurance
providers gain exposure to
a huge network of travel
agents throughout the
continent.
