FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Magnatech® work with all Global Distribution Systems (GDS)?
Yes, Magnatech® is GDS agnostic and our services work on all GDS platforms.
Does my agency have to enter into a long-term contract regarding the use of one or more of the travel management solutions offered by Magnatech®?
Absolutely not. If a travel management company decides to cancel its subscription to our travel management software at any time or for any reason, Magnatech® only requires that you provide us with a 30-day written notice.
How long does the implementation of travel management software take?
Implementation time actually depends on the size of the travel management company (number of offices and locations), the service being subscribed to, and the complexity of your particular requirements.

Standard implementations can range anywhere between 2 to 8 weeks depending on the solution being implemented.

Our implementation team will work closely with the travel management company to determine a realistic timeline based on its specific requirements and then ensure a smooth and stress-free integration.

How is Magnatech®’s pricing structured?
Subscriptions to Magnatech® ’s various travel management software services involve a one-time setup fee and a monthly cost per transaction, which is reset at the beginning of each month. The one-time implementation and monthly cost per transaction will vary according to the Magnatech® travel management solution you choose and the volume of transactions processed through our system on a monthly basis.

Additional costs may be applied if programming is required which falls outside the scope of the current travel management system.
