Magnatech simplifies unused credit management for TMCs
Magnatech Travel Management Solutions has announced a significant enhancement to its capabilities, reinforcing its commitment to simplifying airline credit tracking for Travel Management Companies (TMCs). This latest advancement enables seamless automation of processing NDC ticket PNRs booked in the GDS across all three major Global Distribution
Systems (GDSs) – Amadeus, Travelport+ (Galileo), and now Sabre.
Magnatech has successfully been reading NDC PNRs from all three major GDSs since March 2023. This capability has ensured that GDS NDC bookings have been integrated into all of Magnatech's offerings over the past two years: OnQueue interactive itineraries and invoices, SafeToGo traveller tracking and automated risk messaging, MTWorkflows automated workflows, and OnTrackplus tickets-on-hold tracking and reporting.
The recent update focuses on the OnTrackplus platform. Through dedicated innovation and strong partnerships, Magnatech has further streamlined the flight credit tracking process. OnTrackplus requires not only reading the PNR but also determining the ticket status.
Previously, automation of flown status identification was limited to Amadeus and Travelport+. The inclusion of Sabre NDC ticket status automation now achieves full ticket status tracking parity across all three major GDSs. This advancement ensures that TMCs can track and manage ticket statuses with unparalleled simplicity, regardless of the GDS booking channel. This is particularly valuable for agencies with multiple GDSs seeking workflow consistency.
'The ability to identify and collect NDC tickets booked in the GDS, combined with automated ticket status tracking across Amadeus, Travelport+, and Sabre, empowers TMCs to deliver greater efficiency and accuracy in credit management, making sure no money is left on the table,' said Paul Gioia, CEO of Magnatech. 'As airlines globally continue to ramp up NDC bookings and GDSs expand NDC ticketing, our solutions ensure TMCs can meet these demands seamlessly.'
These enhancements have been made possible through strong and collaborative relationships with Amadeus, Travelport, and Sabre. Magnatech acknowledges the dedication and partnership of these GDSs in achieving this milestone. Their support underscores a shared goal of driving innovation and simplifying operations for TMCs worldwide.
Magnatech remains committed to delivering solutions that add measurable value to its clients and support the evolving needs of the travel industry. As the landscape of NDC bookings continues to grow, Magnatech is leading the way with solutions that simplify and streamline complex processes for TMC partners.

Running an e-commerce business today takes more than just uploading products and hoping for sales. With the right tools, you can automate repetitive tasks, gain valuable insights, deliver better customer experiences and most importantly, grow your revenue.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your online store, the tools you use can help you work smarter, not harder. In this blog, we'll walk you through ten powerful e-commerce tools that are helping online sellers boost sales, improve efficiency and stay ahead in 2025. 1. Shopify – Build and Run Your Store with Ease Shopify remains one of the most popular platforms for setting up an online store. Its ease of use, powerful integrations and range of templates make it ideal for beginners and pros alike. Shopify also supports plugins for inventory, payments, marketing and shipping, so you can manage everything in one place. 2. Klaviyo – Email and SMS Marketing Automation Klaviyo helps you send personalised emails and SMS messages based on customer behaviour. It integrates with your e-commerce platform to track user activity and send targeted campaigns automatically. This kind of automation can significantly improve your conversion rate and keep customers coming back. 3. Jungle Scout – Product Research for Amazon Sellers If you're selling on Amazon, Jungle Scout is a must. It helps you find high-demand, low-competition products by analysing sales data and trends. Jungle Scout also offers supplier sourcing and keyword tools that can save you hours of research. It's especially useful for sellers looking to launch new products or expand into new categories. 4. RepricerExpress – Stay Competitive with Amazon Repricing Staying competitive on Amazon often comes down to price. An intuitive Amazon repricer helps you automatically adjust your prices to stay ahead of the competition. It reacts to changes in the market and updates prices in real time while still protecting your margins. For high-volume sellers, this tool can mean the difference between staying visible and getting buried. 5. Canva – Create Stunning Visuals Without a Designer High-quality visuals can make or break a product listing or ad. Canva is a free, user-friendly tool that lets you design graphics, social media posts, ads and more without needing design experience. With thousands of templates and drag-and-drop features, you can create professional content in minutes. 6. Oberlo (or DSers) – Automate Your Dropshipping Business If you run a dropshipping store, tools like Oberlo or DSers can streamline everything from importing products to fulfilling orders. These tools connect your store to suppliers, allowing you to add products directly and automate the order process. This means fewer errors and more time to focus on marketing and sales. 7. SEMrush – Optimise SEO and Track Your Competitors SEMrush is a powerful tool for anyone serious about SEO. It lets you find the best keywords for your products, track your search rankings and monitor your competitors. By improving your store's visibility in search engines, you'll attract more organic traffic and reduce your reliance on paid ads. 8. Zendesk – Support Your Customers Like a Pro Customer service is critical in building trust and repeat sales. Zendesk helps you manage customer enquiries across email, chat and social media in one place. It also allows you to set up help centres and automate responses to common questions. Faster, better support equals happier customers and more positive reviews. 9. Loox – Boost Trust with Photo Reviews Social proof is one of the most effective ways to convince new visitors to buy. Loox allows customers to leave reviews with photos, giving new buyers a realistic view of what to expect. These photo reviews not only build trust but also provide fresh content that boosts SEO and conversions. 10. Google Analytics 4 – Understand and Optimise Customer Behaviour Data is the key to growth. Google Analytics 4 offers a deep look into how people use your website or app. You can track everything from traffic sources and bounce rates to conversion paths. Knowing where users drop off or what's working well allows you to make smarter business decisions. Running an e-commerce business today takes more than just uploading products and hoping for sales. With the right tools, you can automate repetitive tasks, gain valuable insights, deliver better customer experiences and most importantly, grow your revenue. Tools like a smart Amazon repricer, email automation platforms and product research software aren't just nice to have—they're essential for staying competitive in 2025.
