"With a large corporate client base, ease-of-use and lowering distribution costs are integral to success. Customer demand drove Adelman to become a UATP Merchant, and by doing so, we will continue to provide excellent customer service to our clientele," said Angela Abbate, Vice President, Global Services, Adelman Travel Group. "Correlating service fees with corresponding tickets provides for ease-of-use reporting with UATP. This will enhance our customer service and help Adelman continue its growth."
Adelman will settle all UATP transactions through UATP Settlement Services (USS), a low-cost, weekly settlement system that matches fees and air tickets electronically. This allows for easy reconciliation of accounts for travel agents and their customers for non-clearinghouse transactions.
