travel planning on demand


Explanation:
Abrufen in an IT context is generally "retrieve". But "on demand" struck me as a viable alternative, one that might sound a little more snazzy, if it's a marketing-type of text.

Here's abrufen in all its permutations:
abrufen v (Dp) / retrieve v (data from central computer into local storage, etc.)
abrufen v (Daten) (Dp) / retrieve v (data)
Daten abrufen (Dp, Sw) / to recall data
Informationen abrufen (Vtx) / to retrieve information
zyklisch abrufen (TP, Tr) / poll v (terminals, etc.)
