Web Clients

AL-Pro as a travel industry application, does not support the concept of a "returning" customer. This means that any reservation includes customer information like LastName, FirstName, Phone Numbers, Email etc but does not link together customers travel activity over a span of time

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

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