Search, packages, and itineraries—supplier integrations and pricing rules that stay accurate when inventory and FX move hourly.

Travel shopping that stays coherent—filters, fares, and post-booking changes without agent-only tribal knowledge

We aggregate supplier APIs (GDS/OTA/hotel aggregators) behind a normalized model with caching strategies that respect rate limits and stale price risk. Checkout captures traveler details, ancillaries, and documents; post-booking handles exchanges and cancellations per fare rules. B2C leisure, B2B corporate travel, and tour operators each get workflow variants—shared core, configured edges.

Choosing your path

Two engagement models—start lean and iterate, or commit to a full platform build from day one.

MVP

Speed & essentialism

Phase 1
MVP: single vertical (e.g. hotels), one region, search + book + pay, email itinerary, manual exception handling. Excludes full GDS breadth, multi-segment air complexity, and corporate policy engine. Validates conversion before global inventory.
