Take the stress out of bedbank connectivity

Integrate once to take control and expand your 3rd party hotel supply fast and with minimal investment.

Why not allow us to fully manage your bedbank connectivity?
That way, you can focus on your customers.

We know how hard it can be to quickly expand and maintain your bedbank connectivity, especially when hotel supply comes from multiple API sources.

Demands of third-party hotel connectivity

Some of these might affect your resources

You must develop one-by-one bedbanks and hotel suppliers' APIs integrations
You have to update properties every time the suppliers adds new content
You spend time doing your own hotel mapping or use a costly service for removing duplicate search results
You block your in-house or third party tech resources, increase spend and have lengthy development time
Your competitors use roughly the same suppliers so you need a cost-effective tech solution to give you the edge

Give up the hassle and allow iVectorOne to aggregate and fully manage the handling of your third party suppliers.

Simplify to grow:

“We chose to integrate with intuitive’s iVectorOne primarily for two reasons: their selection of suppliers matched our top 10 suppliers’ list (plus they are developing the one missing), and the cost model. ”

“Cutting down the numbers of suppliers we must support and the current batch of APIs we need to keep up to date was the most vital thing for us as it will allow us to bring the focus back to other IT priorities within our business. In addition, having trialled a couple of hotel mapping solutions, the cost savings by using iVectorOne was a boon.”

“I would happily recommend intuitive. Their approach has been very open and responsive to our requirements.”

Why are the alternatives of a multi-supplier API hub bad for business?

Your current bedbank supply may be unwieldy and handled by different technical systems. We’ve unpacked some of their disadvantages, so you can clearly see why moving to iVectorOne is worth it.

One-by-one supplier integration

It takes time and effort to integrate and manage your hotel supply via multiple API sources
Every new property integration involves a lengthy process that increases your time-to-market
Integrating and maintaining multiple APIs requires serious development and testing, blocking your in-house or 3rd party tech resources and increasing spend

Your own mapping and static data management

Poor or zero mapping can lead to incomplete, inaccurate and duplicate search results
You'll encounter operational challenges and financial inaccuracies
Your fixed costs increase when doing your own mapping and when your content team has to maintain all your current and future API connections
Every time one of your suppliers adds new properties, you have to run cumbersome content import processes to refresh the images, descriptions and facilities

Grow your bedbank supply fast,
while you sit back and relax

Our solution eliminates the stress with a pay-as-you-go booking fee model and a self-serve, quick supplier activation approach, that puts you in control of your hotel product and suppliers.

iVectorOne bedbank connectivity implementation

Case study

Company Background

Travelpack started as a high-street travel agency in the mid-1980s. The company now has offices in the UK, India and Canada, selling in several different verticals including flight consolidation, online travel and tour operation. Travelpack has been operating online since 1999, working for both trade and consumer sectors. With over 28 years’ experience, they are offering their customers a wide range of independent tours, holidays and tailor-made itineraries.

Challenge

Following the growth of NDC, the management of all flights and hotels suppliers has become a cumbersome process. Maintaining and updating the APIs, adopting different hotel mapping solutions together with the generated costs were leading to a far from optimal business efficiency. Moreover, all interactions with other suppliers' systems were done via manual search & book inside external supplier systems, along with their currently implemented APIs...

Goal

The main goal of the project consisted in providing with a unified technological solution which could effectively aggregate and simplify the handling of 3rd party hotel suppliers, offering the ability to reserve faster and more reliably than before.

Solution

Travelpack were provided with an easy to integrate search, book and cancel API that is powering their B2C website, package holidays and trade channels. To complement the existing connections and to increase their product offering, intuitive added new bedbanks to their suppliers’ list, that were provided with the latest content and a fully deduped hotel database.

Results

Multiple supplier integrations were performed and hotel supply increased significantly
Maintaining and updating product databases process took over by intuitive team
Important time saved for Travelpack’s staff and better efficiency due to reducing call times
Reallocating Travelpack’s resources to more profitable processes
