Thy Ferries opts for Carus system

Thy Ferries has chosen Carus to supply booking and check-in systems for its new route between Denmark and Norway. The technology supplied will be based on Carus’ CarRes system, an application designed for call centre and web sales as well as port operations.

In addition to the core functions for booking and check-in, CarRes provides both the hardware and software for automated check-in and boarding, routines for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Intelligence (BI), as well as multiple standard interfaces using the web services, SOAP/XML and Unicorn.

Thy ferries will start operating between the Danish port of Hanstholm and Kristiansand in Norway next spring, with Pride of Telemark, a vessel that can carry 2,200 passengers and 600 cars, or 75 freight units.

Carus has also been successful in winning a contract from TT-Line, better known as Spirit of Tasmania, which operates across the Bass Strait, between Devonport and Melbourne, carrying passengers and freight. Once again, the CarRes system is the key package that will be supplied. PST
