New software helps companies keep track of e-tickets
Article Abstract:
New software has been introduced that help businesses monitor electronic airline tickets, or e-tickets. The problem of unused, untracked and unrefunded tickets has been significantly made worse by electronic tickets, which can go unnoticed because there is no piece of paper to keep track of them. Some of the new software that tracks e-tickets and help corporate travel departments process a refund include eTrak from Trindent Development, Ticket Trax from American Express and InterPro's Airline Ticket Manager.
