SAA City Center has announced the introduction of SAACC DOCS, the consortiums latest value-added product which is designed to assist SAACC clients with easy, pre-paid access to their documents in the event of them being lost or stolen whilst travelling. The product is the innovative brain child of CKNet Internet Services (PTY) Limited.
According to Jenny Olivier (Director - CKNet), "statistically, every six minutes a South African international traveller loses his or her travel documents such as passport, visas, hotel bookings, air tickets and traveller`s cheques." In being the preferred IT Developer for SAA City Center, CKNet offered this product to SAA City Center and as a result, they are the first retail travel chain to offer this type of service in South Africa whereby travellers are enabled to fax or upload their most critical travel and business documents into a personal secure profile online. They will also have the ability to view, email or fax their documents to any destination in the world from either an Internet connection or from their mobile phones. According to Jenny, "this provides users with a `mobile office` service whether they are travelling abroad, or simply need to access documents whilst on the road, away from their office."
"SAACC Docs not only adds value to the traveller but also the business person by having the ability to access critical documents at the touch of a button anywhere, anytime", explains Jenny.
SAA City Center CEO Michael St"oltzing says: "As the leading travel company in Africa we are always striving to add value to the customer experience by engendering customer care, and adding real value to their travel experience. In addition, given the future of the travel industry in South Africa, we continuously strive to introduce new and innovative products to our franchise partners to enable them to continuously provide an improved service to their clients, the travelling public. We are therefore proud to introduce this exclusive product that is set to revolutionize the way we travel, and how we arrange our travels. "
Users may register for the service on the website www.saaccdocs.co.za. The system works similarly to that of a pre-paid cell phone whereby the user can activate the pre-paid service at a cost of R30 for 5MB space (for life), which at a special launch offer, will provide an additional 10MB of usage for free. If users require more space they simply top up much in the same way one does with pre paid cellular airtime. Unlimited space and usage is available at additional top-up fees.
