• Shares Integration
• Abacus , serving asian market

These GDS system is controlled by the best inventory management. The inventories contains all the flights and it’s related information for a particular pair of city with the available seats in different classes.
In real time for each booking a unique PNR(passenger name record) is generated which contains all the details of the passenger.

To maximize the sales these GDS providers started selling their inventories through the mode of XMLs along with the hotel XMLs.
This helped the travel agents to integrate these XML or GDS system in their own website in the form of API’s to get their own white labeled solutions.
Travel agents could sell their own tickets with their own brands by developing individual travel portal development , http://www.provab.com/travelportaldevelopment.html
This system in turn increased the sales of the GDS provider with reduced marketing and branding cost.
Globally, the overall revenues of individual airlines have increased to 60% in the past 10 years.
With the robust administrative panel the GDS companies or Travel agents can manage all the bookings, monitor sales and manage commissions of their sub agents.
All these XML’s are available to the travel agents and tour operators in 2 modules:
• B2B
• B2C
PROVAB TECHNOSOFT , a travel technology company provides the best in class web services to integrate these flight booking engine into the website. After GDS integration (Global Distribution System) with B2B, B2C and Admin modules in place, client would have a robust airline reservation system and would be able to do live bookings from this GDS system for flights.
