Perth Bus Tours Mode of Operation
The following description of the system has been provided by the manager:
A customer rings the bookings clerk and asks for prices for various tickets. The bookings clerk quotes the price and the customer either accepts or rejects the quoted price. If accepted, the customer buys the appropriate Explorer Pass, using their credit card. The credit card details and transaction amount are sent to the bank via EFTPOS by the booking clerk and a transaction number is generated by the bank. The bookings clerk enters the details of the tour booking into the customer database. A receipt is sent to the customer for their records, along with a numbered Explorer Pass Card which records the number of tours the card is valid for. A copy of the receipt, which will be used to reconcile bank details at the end of the week, is placed on a spike on the desk.
When the customer arrives in Perth and they ring to book their first tour to a particular tourist attraction, they are asked for their name and Explorer Pass Card number. The bookings clerk then checks the customer database to make sure that the customer is a valid customer. If the Explorer Pass Card number is valid, the relevant customer details are copied from the Customer Database into the Bookings Database.
The customer is asked for a contact phone number and their pickup details (hotel name and tour) which are entered into the bookings database. The bookings clerk tells the customer the estimated pickup time and the bus number (e.g. Bus 1 = AQWA, Bus 2 = Fremantle) for their first tour. The bookings clerk adjusts the number of tours the customer now has available to use.
At the end of the day, the manager uses the bookings database to allocate a bus and a driver to each tour. The passenger lists are then emailed to the drivers and a copy is placed in the Daily Tours file.
On the day of the tour, the bus driver collects the customers from their hotel. The customer shows their Explorer Pass Card to the driver who validates it and checks off the customer’s name on the passenger list.
At the end of each trip the driver puts the checked passenger list into the Completed Tours tray.
Every Friday afternoon, the manager uses the customer database to generate a list of new customers and the amounts they have paid. This list and the copies of the receipts on the spike are used to reconcile the bank statement supplied by the bank. The reconciled statement and copies of receipts are placed in the Bank Statement file.
