Chairman, CEO and Founder, Fareportal

 

Sam Jain started his career in 1994 with the launch of Farebuzz, a B-to-B travel company. His innovative ideas aided in enhancing airlines’ and travel agents’ fare management and fulfillment processes. Unique for the time, he used nascent technology to achieve efficiencies in the supply chain process. This innovative technology enabled International and Domestic airlines to meet their sales objectives to the travel trade.

 

In 2002, Sam launched Fareportal, with the aim of building a B-to-B-to-C platform with a multi-user interface and complex, fully integrated mid and back end capabilities.

 

The system took four years to design, implement, beta and launch. In 2006, the technology was adopted by B-to-B and B-to-C companies and has evolved into an intense framework featuring online/traditional marketing, tracking, targeting, call center operations, multi lingual, multi-currency support and a full fulfillment suite for flights, hotels, car rentals, activities, parking and dynamic packaging.

 

Under Sam’s guidance, Fareportal has made recent acquisitions in corporate and leisure travel. The flagship brand, CheapOair.com, is a leading online travel booking site in the United States. Travelong has won numerous awards from airlines and the trade and has been featured prominently in Travel Weekly’s Power List for continued growth. Sam’s vision is to provide unsurpassed value to consumers by employing advanced technologies, economies of scale and outstanding customer support. He also continues to collaborate with suppliers to create a distribution channel that brings them value, cost benefits and efficiency.
