IATI Communicator vs SmartAgent Personal Assistant

The Application will be promoted among the hotel representatives that are employed in contracted hotels with IATI (the premier online travel platform in Turkey and operational in 45 countries) in order to improve the sale conversion rates on their web site and increase the sales from other IATI channels. The application in essence is a simple task management system that receives the digested sales oriented information from the IATI server (via the sales representatives) and simplifies the data communication process on the hotel site by expecting the use to reply by pressing simple "YES" or "NO" buttons.
