Rail Europe has announced a new joint partnership across Europe with travel technology company SilverRail to share tech and data capabilities.
The new agreement will see SilverRail provide a connectivity and transaction processing layer to all of Rail Europe’s train operator’s fares and seat inventory via its technology platform, SilverCore. This will enable Rail Europe and Voyages-SNCF.com to gather the knowledge of their customers’ needs and focus on building better distribution engines and sales interface across its channels.
Rail Europe chief executive officer Fabrice Morel said the company looked forward to working with SilverRail to overhaul its systems.
“This will enable our own resources to leverage their unmatched market expertise andfocus solely on designing the best experience for selling rail, both for travellers and travel intermediaries around the world”.
MEANWHILE, Rail Europe is giving agents the chance to secure 20% off select Eurail passes that can be booked up to 11 months in advance. The ‘Eurail Off-Peak Sale’ runs until 27 December and offers 20% off the Eurail Global Pass, Eurail Select Two, Three and Four Country passes, and Eurail One Country Pass (including the Eurail Greek Islands Pass).
