Conferma launches CSP On-Demand

12/02/2010

Conferma has launched CSP On-Demand, a payment API. This XML-based interface will enable customers to securely access the full suite of Conferma’s settlement tools for integration to their enterprise or agency applications.

With CSP On-Demand any travel management booking system can take advantage of the Conferma process of introducing a one-time-only card through the whole lifecycle of procure-to-pay. CSP On-Demand is designed for hotels, conference, rail, car and low-cost air systems fulfilment.

Once CSP On-Demand has deployed a virtual card for payment it is able to match bookings, payments and invoices in exactly the same way as the award-winning Conferma Settlement Plan. Moreover, customers will receive the added value of having access to Conferma’s detailed transaction and spend data reporting system. Reconciliation may be done by either the travel management company or its corporate customer. CSP On-Demand supports multiple card providers through a single interface.

The API (application programming interface) acts as a plug-in to enhance established enterprise systems for simplified ordering, settlement and reconciliation. The interface supports any programming language and is based on open-standards, thus remaining vendor neutral and flexible.

CSP On-Demand is designed with the speed of integration in mind. The simplified interface offers a user-friendly developer tool kit to enable seamless integration with minimal effort, allowing customers significantly improved speed to market.

CSP On-Demand delivers a PCI-compliant settlement solution quickly and with minimal disruption, eliminating manual intervention and providing the highest quality enhanced data.

Simon Barker, ceo Conferma, said: "This interface means that any company on any booking system can now take advantage of the Conferma Settlement Plan. Conferma is always trying to deliver more value for its customers and this latest innovation again enables more people to take advantage of the Conferma solution which drives efficiencies and cost savings."
