Dave Howard, Managing director, trailstream said "Our brochure content has long been a feature of the Micros SABS system so it was only natural that we would look to link all of the other benefits of trailstream.tv to the platform. Sales consultants who perform an availability search within SABSLeisure will be able to deep link into trailstream.tv and immediately show their customers full screen high quality videos of hotels. In additional SABSLeisure users who licence trailstream.tv will be able to access all the other features including our cruise content and our highly regarded eBrochure facility"

Howard continued "Video is seen as a valuable asset by many on-line travel providers but up until now the retail environment have been slow to recognise the benefit video brings to the sales process. A large number of travel agents are beginning to realise that they need to provide their customers with an in-store experience that is better than that encountered at home. Today's consumer has access to a huge resource of rich media content on-line through their home pc and agents must meet their customer's expectations when they set foot in a high street agency."

Brian Sheerin, Managing Director of Micros-Travel commented "We aim to provide agents with the industry's best possible technology and are pleased to be building on our relationship with trailstream. We have seen firsthand the different compelling content makes at the point of sale and the fact that we're the first technology company to integrate underlines our commitment to the further development of SABSLeisue."

Seen as a real breakthrough in assisting agents to convert sales the front line consultant will be able to create a compelling visual enquiry fulfilment experience for their customers and provide a very personalised offer via effective use of the eBrochure function.
