eKNF – fakturowanie ubezpieczeń – teraz dostępne z ADesku

Rozbudowaliśmy ADesk (okno przeznaczone do ewidencjonowania biletów lotniczych) o funkcje obsługi ubezpieczeń. W praktyce biur podróży ubezpieczenia (zwłaszcza te sprzedawane za pośrednictwem GDSów) obsługiwane są przez działy lotnicze, a następnie – równie często – fakturowane razem z biletami lotniczymi. Integracja ubezpieczeń i biletów lotniczych w jednym desktopie ułatwi pracę zarówno działowi lotniczemu, jak i fakturzystom.
Na poniższym ekranie ubezpieczenia oznaczone są niebieską ikoną  parasola:
