Web Clients

 Top 

       AL-Desk as a travel industry application, does not support the concept of a "returning" customer. This means that any client  is treated as a unique client for each visit as defined by their arrival and departure dates.

 

       The AL-Desk web portal has the ability to give a customer a login which will maintain a history for a "webclient" all their activity over a span of time.

 

       The AL-Desk web portal supports the concept of "webclient" that provides support for web sites by supporting authentication calls and then being able to tie multiple clients together as purchased by the "webclient".

 

The AL-Pro Web Portal extends AL-Pro to support web customers with API calls that

 

•Support username and password for use on web pages
•Allow Client information to be reused on multiple reservations
•Tie Reservations together to a single client.

 

email and password required

supports the concept of returning customer with departure date and arrival date
