Travel Fusion

Can someone explain Travel Fusion to me?

For some reason my brain won't wrap around it.

@almaes Hello.  Thank you for posting in the SAP Concur Community.  Travelfusion operates the largest global web-direct booking system. With connections to numerous websites – centrally managed through one web service – Travelfusion provides a deep level of website integration along with a simple and consistent booking process.

 

Concur has partnered with Travelfusion to access fares available only on select supplier websites. This streamlined booking process is available for carriers that are not accessible through GDS or direct reservation system integration. Travelfusion bookings are 100% automated and integrated into the same user-friendly interface travelers have come to expect from Concur.
Once a traveler decides on a given web fare and accepts the purchase conditions, an instant purchase takes place on the vendor website, and then Concur Travel updates the travel agency and corporate records. The website purchase process is completely integrated into Concur Travel, so the traveler does not leave the system to complete a booking.

 

Travelfusion must be enabled on each individual Travel Configuration and their are configuration settings/steps that need to occur.  I have attached the Travelfusion Guide for reference.

@almaes Yes, a PNR is built with a passive segment.  Your TMC (Travel Management Company) needs to support it.

@TriciaW  Once it's booked is there a record built in the GDS as well?
