visualFares Ticketing Automation prepares the complete ticket shell and performs ticket printing as well. Its capacity is approximately 600 tickets a day.
Net and Published Tickets issued through our system, which were booked via your Website using our booking engine will be correctly validated against netfares database and published fares database. Therefore, the numbers of debit memos can be decreased to a minimum.
