BRAC INTEGRATION

DATA BRIDGE

Orion’s Budget Integration Project provides functionality to Licensee users that used to be only available at corporate locations. These include submission to the IRACS data warehouse, on-line BCD corporate rate lookups and vehicle tracking at foreign locations. 

Data submission to Cendant’s data warehouse is done automatically through this project. This eliminates the need to submit Perfect Drive reports monthly, or bi-monthly. In the future it will also handle TARP and Frequent Flyer submissions as well. 

Counter agents have the ability to lookup profiles within the Maestro database using that customer’s BCN. Data retrieved from Maestro flows into the Contract Open screen. Also, for customers with a BCD number, agents can retrieve current corporate rates for that account within seconds. This can be done in the Contract Open screen for walkup customers or during Reservation Entry. 

Another feature of the Budget Integration project is the One-Way rental processing. This encompasses several features that are import to licensee systems; it give agents the ability to close one-way rentals from foreign locations that check into their location. It also means that one-way contracts leaving your location will be able to be closed accurately by foreign locations. This closing information will then be automatically transferred back into the licensees system updating vehicle, contract and revenue split information. Vehicle tracking information is also kept up to date as transactions flow in form foreign locations. When a licensee vehicle is used on a foreign contract, closing information on that contract is automatically transferred into the Licensee’s system updating the vehicle tracking and revenue split information. 

Orion also receives regular updates of the list of ‘bad’ or stolen Budget Credit Cards. When a customer presents a Budget Credit Card for authorization/payment on a contract, agents are able to do an on-line check against that listing.
