The ExecutiveDashboard™ module in Centaur TBMS provides consolidated real-time updates of revenue across different tour types and sales categories. The consolidated revenue is categorized as "Daily". "Week To Date" and "Year To Date". Users can also monitor revenue for a selected set of up to 5 different tours. As soon as any user makes a new reservation on the system, the module is updated revised revenue numbers using "push" technology in real-time.
Centaur provides a significant return on investment to tour operators through improved efficiencies, streamlined processes and low cost of deployment. Since all modules of the platform are web-enabled, the system can be accessed from any machine that has a browser installed in it.

Reliable: Centaur is designed from ground up using tried and tested software components to maximize autonomy, availability and interoperability.
