Some special "TROLIS" system features and fundamental differences from other similar systems

   System's booking module works in WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) manner. Working with it looks like working with certain text editor, where you can either save your work, or discard all your changes. Each change of particular booking is kept in the history with the date, time, agent and agency, which had altered this booking. Reservation algorithm always operates in a stateless mode (without knowing the previous state), which allows it to work very fast. This also decreases overall amount of transferred data between client application and server database, which is essential when working through Internet.

   Each user (agent) of the system belongs to one and only one agency, so this simplifies an authentification of users, hence the system correctly determines which agency the booking belongs to, It helps then in creating financial and sales reports. Agents of privileged agencies additionally can create booking on behalf of any other agency, assigning it to that agency.

   Privileged agencies also have full access to all booking of all agencies, being able to edit these bookings, change categories of cabins, number of places and even cancel unwanted bookings or tickets. All these actions also are kept in the history, so every agency can always see all information about all booking manipulations and modifications - who and when. Usually privileged agencies are ferry operator's agency and those, who make check-ins.

   TROLIS V5.2 system is developed using ExtJS 3 for frontend logic and PROGRESS(tm) RDBMS V10.1 for backend database logic. This gives a very fast access to the database, using any kind of Internet connection.
