In realities of rapid development of technology, an aviation industry is actively implementing transition of leading Carriers to the NDC technology standard. This need is caused by the fact that each Carrier strives to make its product as individual and different from others as possible, as well as to increase share of sales of its direct distribution channel. The initiative is actively supported by IATA, and today the NDC industry protocol is designed not only to personalize the product of each individual Carrier, but also to reduce its costs for the distribution channels.
In order to simplify integration processes and increase speed of interaction with its own and client IT solutions, the holding development team created the specialized Transport Aggregator platform that converts various protocols of Carriers into unified ones.
The project is quite successful, as the platform specialists not only possess modern tools for developing integration solutions, but also deeply understand the industry specifics.
The transport aggregator is designed to bring under its wing all current and future NDC solutions of Carriers and Global Distribution Systems and become the progressive platform with a wide range of transport content and multimodal transportation services.
“We consider it our main task to provide support and technical interaction with Suppliers so that client solutions focus on what is their key competence - customer service, as well as significant cost savings on integration of each individual Carrier,” comments Sergey Khmelnitsky, Managing Director of Information System Development.
For the client, it is a single industry protocol and unique content through exclusive integrations. It is worth noting that direct integrations, as a rule, allow you to receive cheaper rates, since these channels do not imply booking system taxes, as well as possibility of implementing a wide range of additional services. It is connection time minimization, as well as flexible and competitive pricing model. The advantage is that data transfer is carried out using the XML / API protocol, there are no "extra" services, which leads to a reduction in cost. The platform also has auxiliary services, provides support and maintenance of integration channel.
Today, through the system, you can purchase services of Aeroflot, Siberia, Pobeda, Azimuth, Ural Airlines, global carriers - Air France, KLM, Emirates and unique content that can only be obtained from us so far. The full content of Russian, Belarusian, and Kazakh railways and Basfor bus supplier is also presented.
It is planned to connect other industry players from the group of leading airlines.
Today, the platform clients are both holding internal IT products - Portbilet 2.0 web system, Biletix hypermarket, Portbilet TMS, as well as external players in the transport services market - trainapi.com, raketa.travel, tickets.ru, pososhok.ru , bookit.kg, Corteos Platform, City.Travel and many others.
