Travel Advisor Commission Management SaaS Platform, SION, Launches ...

Commission tracking and management solution Sion has launched out of beta testing and is available free of charge.

The software solution was developed by travel advisor Irving Betesh, who is also Sion’s CEO and co-founder.

Sion, which gives advisors a big-picture look at bookings and open invoices to track owed commissions, has an integration with Sabre and a partnership with Amadeus. It graduated from Virtuoso’s Incubator program.

Sion is free at launch because of the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on the travel industry.

“There has never been a more applicable time for travel advisors to need to collect all their outstanding commissions,” Betesh said. “Though we never intended to launch our platform for free, we really wanted to do our part to help.”

Holland America Line is giving crew free WhatsApp access across its fleet in time for the holidays.

Holland America Line also launched its Crew Self-Service (CSS) platform, which gives crew free access to their employment information.

“Our crew members are at the heart of our operation, and we know how important it is for them to be able to communicate with their loved ones from anywhere in the world, especially over the holidays,” said Orlando Ashford, Holland America Line’s president, in a statement.

“We’re always looking for ways to ensure our crew know how much we value and appreciate them, and we’re happy to be able to offer WhatsApp along with other new applications like CSS to make communications easier and more efficient for them.”

Through the CSS system, shipboard employees can access their contact details, see port details, rotation schedules and more. An announcements board within CSS enables the company to communicate directly with all crew electronically.
