CARLSON Hotels has renewed its contract with Pegasus Solutions for the company’s agent-preferred global commission processing services, which Carlson currently uses to manage commission tracking and payment for more than 1,000 Carlson hotels in 77 countries worldwide. The three-year agreement now includes the implementation of Pegasus’ rules engine and user interface, which allows Carlson to apply customised rate rules for commission transactions for its Radisson, Country Inns & Suites By Carlson and Park Inn by Radisson brands. 'Pegasus not only provides commission processing services that are sought-after by travel agents but it has also developed and implemented a unique solution that makes our business more efficient and manageable,' said Christine Brosnahan, vice president of global distribution and reservation services. 'With the rules engine, we can perform commission calculations based on everything from rate, arrival or departure date, hotel, agency, region, or commissionable or non-commissionable rates, among others. We also benefit from the ability to manage our own rules in the system via a web application to the user interface.' Pegasus global commission processing through Carlson Hotels offers agents booking with Carlson’s four brands to receive bi-weekly commission payments via check or direct deposit in any of 37 currencies. As the preferred commission payment provider for more than 60,000 travel agencies worldwide, Pegasus processes more than $500 million in commissions annually, serving more than 35,000 properties, as well as the majority of travel distributors in more than 200 countries.
