Solutions

For Railways

SilverRail works with Railways as a technology partner and provides access to any Travel Seller through a single connection. Harnessing the SilverRail Integrated Technology Platform, Railways do not have to invest their own time and money to implement, manage or support multiple customer connections. Meanwhile, Railways benefit from access to new markets and distribution technologies — while maintaining complete control of their product.

Distribution channels include:

• Travel Management Companies
• Online and Traditional Travel Agencies
• Tour Operators
• Travel Technology Companies

For Travel Sellers

SilverRail makes selling Rail easy! By aggregating numerous rail suppliers into a single, flexible platform, SilverRail Technologies provides Travel Sellers a complete “rail solution” that fits their business needs. The complexity and intricacies of each carrier system — different APIs, different business rules, and different business models — are abstracted and normalized into a single common interface, offering complete product access in a familiar — similar to air ticketing — business process.

Travel Sellers may choose to access the rail product via either of two technologies offered by SilverRail: 

• WEB SERVICE: Air-like interface, standardized queries and responses and end-to-end functionality across global rail content.
• AGENT APPLICATION (SilverAgent): Web based call centre application, leveraging the SilverRail web service to provide agents with a web interface to search, book, ticket & modify all SilverRail's global rail content.

In both cases, Travel Sellers may use direct commercial relationships with the Railway Suppliers or capitalize on blanket agreements for content forged by SilverRail. At all times, the supplier and distributor are transparent, powered by SilverRail technology.
