GDS Distribution

Corporate Demand. Agency Reach. One Inventory.

The business traveler never sees your website. Their company books through an agency, that agency works in Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo or Worldspan, and a hotel that isn't on that screen isn't on the shortlist. We put you there — in front of 600,000+ travel agencies worldwide, from the same inventory and the same rates you already manage.

The Other Demand

Leisure Books on OTAs. Business Books Somewhere Else.

OTAs are built for leisure demand, and they're good at it — that's why you sell there. Corporate travel runs on a different network entirely: managed travel programs, multinationals, travel management companies, and agency networks that search and book almost exclusively through the GDS.

If agencies have ever called your front desk asking whether you have availability, you already have the demand. You just aren't where they go looking for it.

The Network

Four Networks. 600,000 Agencies. One Connection.

Amadeus
Sabre
Galileo
Worldspan
  • Direct, not resold

    A direct XML connection into each GDS database, with no intermediary sitting between your inventory and the agent's screen.

  • The same inventory as everywhere else

    Rates and availability reach the GDS from the pool that already feeds your website and your OTAs. There is no second set of numbers to keep aligned.

  • One change, four networks

    Rates, availability and restrictions are updated once and go live across all four.

  • Built into your channel manager

    The GDS is one of the channel types your channel manager already governs — not a separate connection to buy and bolt on afterward.

How Corporate Is Won

You Don't Switch On Corporate. You Win It.

Corporate and consortia business runs on annual programs, and you get into them by bidding — one RFP at a time, on a calendar that doesn't wait for you. That's the real reason the channel stays closed to most properties. Not the technology: the paperwork.

This is the one part of the platform that arrives with people, not just software.

  • We help you pick the programs

    Our GDS specialists advise which consortia and corporate programs are worth bidding for, based on what your property actually is and where its demand comes from.

  • We submit the bids for you

    Consortia and corporate RFPs are managed centrally, in one place, instead of one portal per program.

  • We write your GDS content

    Property descriptions are uploaded and optimized by our team so you read well on an agent's screen — where the format is unforgiving and most hotels leave the field half empty.

  • Your photos, on all four

    Images are distributed across every GDS channel, not just the one you remembered to update.

  • You can pay for position

    Priority placement campaigns inside the GDS displays, for the periods when being higher on the list is worth it.

Corporate Rates

Public Rates. Negotiated Rates. One Place.

Corporate business isn't one price. It's a public rate for the agency booking on the open market, a negotiated rate for the company you signed an agreement with, and a consortia rate for the program that accepted you. Three different commitments to three different buyers — and in most setups they live in three different places, maintained by hand, drifting apart between renewals.

  • Corporate rate management

    The agreements you sign with companies, loaded and distributed as rates that stay current — not as a document your sales team re-types every year.

  • Negotiated company agreements

    Each contract carries its own conditions, and it reaches the GDS as a rate, not as an email to the front office.

  • Consortia rates

    The programs you were accepted into, distributed to their member agencies through the same connection as everything else.

  • A negotiated rate doesn't move your public price

    Rate parity applies to what you publish. A rate that belongs to a signed agreement isn't a published rate — which makes it the legitimate way to give a company a better number without touching the one everyone else sees.

How parity is held on your public rate
After the Booking

And Then the Agency Gets Paid.

Every GDS booking arrives with a travel agent commission attached to it. In most hotels somebody chases that by hand, months later, from a spreadsheet.

Commissions, settled

Agency commission on a confirmed booking is handled and paid out automatically. Nobody on your team opens a portal to do it.

Reconciliation, not archaeology

GDS bookings reconcile in the back office, with channel revenue reporting sitting next to every other channel you sell — same screen, same period, same numbers.

The agency list, in your hands

Access to the IATA agency database with contact details, so your sales team can go after the agencies that matter to you instead of waiting to be found.
