numerous fields, areas and specializationsVarious fields require different types of travel

software, from BigData analysis to online booking distribution

Travel software for tour operatorsTour operators by their nature, require tour operating

systems, usually consisting of several components:Inventory management –storage of prices and

availability for different travel productsPackaging capabilities – ability to combine various travel

products stored in the inventoryAccounting modules – invoicing and financial controlsBooking engine – ability to sell inventory products onlineB2B – business to business distribution via online travel

software3rd Party connectivity – real time connectivity to external

suppliers and GDS systems for immediate booking

Travel software for travel agentsTravel agents usually require less

complicated software, compared to tour operators:Online booking engine with access to hotel, car

and flight resourcesAbility to package products dynamically – aka

dynamic packagingOrder management controlSimplified accounting capabilitiesLarger travel agencies can also provide b2b to

redistribute to smaller agencies and agents

Travel software for travel networksThere’re dozens of travel networks and travel

agent network worldwideUsually agents join specific network to gain

access to wider selection of resources at negotiated prices, thus having larger profit margins or higher commissions

Travel software in this case will be combination of tour operating software and solutions for travel agents, with HQ having larger infrastructure and each participant having a partial system installed with limited capabilities.

Travel software for TMCsTravel managements companies (TMCs) serve

both corporate clients and other organizations, which require professional management of their travel expenses

TMCs require a special blend of travel software, one that is capable of providing full tour operating capabilities on one hand, with more advanced GDS capabilites on the other

In addition, TMCs like to provide their clients extranets, similar to agent b2b access, to allow self booking capabilites

Travel software for OTAsOnline travel agencies (OTAs) sell directly to

consumers and rely on real time connectivity to wide range of travel resources and suppliers

Most commonly OTA’s have own development centers and perform major of the development in-house.

However, providing OTA’s with aggregated resources of numerous hotel, car, flight and other providers via XML API can save them months of development

Travel software as a serviceSaaS is becoming very popular, and with

cloud computing advancing, installable solutions will quickly disappear from the travel software landscape

There are numerous advantages to travel SaaS models, especially for small and medium size travel companies

The resources needed to develop own software usually will outweigh 5 to 1 the cost of SaaS usage.
