SBS: a clearer path from selection to ticket.

The move to Travelmanager

Before: slow printing and a complicated selection process

With the previous sales system, printing tickets and selecting products took too long. On busy days in particular, those steps slowed down counter sales.

SBS deliberately set out to find a system that would make ticket selection easier for staff and speed up sales.

Why Travelmanager: industry focus and flexibility

The decisive factors were Travelmanager’s specialisation in passenger shipping and its ability to accommodate individual requirements.

A clear, structured sales process was just as important. The system needed to make everyday counter work easier to understand and manage.


What changed in day-to-day operation

Clearly presented categories and items

Since the introduction, SBS reports a clearer view of ticket sales. Clearly displayed categories and items make selection easier.

Easier for staff to use

Staff find their way around more quickly. For Katja Wimmer, ease of use is one of the main reasons to recommend Travelmanager.

Faster sales on busy days

Sales are processed more quickly, especially when demand is high. Structured workflows and shorter waiting times improve the experience for guests and staff.
