Athena provides Inbound System to Jalpak International Asia

After many years of searching for a replacement to their current Unix system, Jalpak has finally decided to use Athena Bookings to fulfil its front-, mid- and back offices functions.

"We have evaluated many many systems and we could not be convinced by the vendors. Some of the systems are expensive and would still require customisation for our usage. After looking at Athena Bookings, we are willing to give a try for a more user-friendly system into Jalpak." said Judy Goh, Manager.

Athena Bookings (Inbound) will be the core system for Jalpak, automating processes from the reservation unit to the operations and into the back office accounting. The flow is seamless and the accounting department will be able to prepare the Account Receivable/Payable more accurately without any re-keying of data.
