Travel platforms that price it right at checkout.

For tour operators, travel agencies, OTAs, corporate travel tools and hotel groups. Supplier and GDS integration, availability search, multi-currency checkout, and the booking engine architecture that keeps prices accurate from search to payment.

In short

We build booking engines, tour-operator platforms, travel CRMs and multi-currency checkout for travel companies in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman, then Spain, Italy, France and Pakistan. We have not shipped an OTA; the payment, refund and reconciliation work that transfers comes from Pay2m in Qatar and Kuickpay in Pakistan.

Updated November 2026

our approach

A practice, not a sales territory.

Travel software has one unforgiving constraint: availability data expires in seconds and pricing can change mid-checkout. GDS feeds return stale fares, NDC content is inconsistent across airlines, and a slow search page sends the customer to a competitor's tab. Most teams underestimate the caching and invalidation work until the first complaint about phantom availability hits production.

We have not shipped an OTA, and we say so. What transfers is the part that usually breaks: payments, refunds and reconciliation from Pay2m in Qatar and Kuickpay's checkout in Pakistan, and multi-step booking and registration flows from the sites we build in Doha. Supplier APIs — Amadeus, Duffel, hotel channel managers — are integration work, and we scope each one before we promise anything about it.

Travellers compare you with Booking.com and Google Flights and leave at the first sign of friction. The standard is search that feels instant, flexible dates, a transparent price breakdown, and a checkout that handles 3-D Secure without losing the booking. In the Gulf add Arabic and English, mada and Apple Pay, and WhatsApp for every change to the trip.

— problems we solve

Common engagements.

— 01

GDS & NDC inventory integration

Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport and Duffel integration with fare caching, expiry-based invalidation, and the de-duplication logic that keeps phantom availability out of your checkout.

— 02

Real-time availability search

Flight and hotel search across many itinerary combinations — flexible date grids, multi-city routing, nearby airports and price calendars — measured against a response-time budget agreed at the start.

— 03

Multi-currency checkout & payments

Cards, mada, Apple Pay and local methods with 3-D Secure, PSD2 strong authentication for EU travellers, fare-rules enforcement at purchase, and ticketing only after payment succeeds. The payment patterns transfer from Pay2m and Kuickpay.

— 04

Booking management & post-booking flows

Modification, cancellation, seat selection, ancillary upsells, e-ticket delivery, and the itinerary state machine that keeps travelers informed across the full trip lifecycle.

— 05

Travel CRM & agent tools

Lead capture, quote management, group booking workflows, commission tracking, and the reporting your operations team needs — integrated with live inventory so agents quote accurate fares.

— 06

Loyalty & personalization

Points accumulation, tier management, personalised search ranking and saved preferences — with recommendation logic measured against your own booking baseline, not assumed to work.

— by market

Travel, market by market.

Gulf — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman

Saudi Arabia's tourism push and Umrah traffic, the UAE's hotel market and Qatar's events calendar drive most demand. Travellers expect Arabic and English, mada and Apple Pay, and WhatsApp for every change; Saudi travel businesses operate under Ministry of Tourism licensing.

Spain, Italy, France

Among the most visited countries in the world, with tour and activity operators everywhere. The EU Package Travel Directive, PSD2 and GDPR shape checkout and data, and every booking flow needs several languages.

Pakistan

Outbound Umrah and Gulf travel are large, and most agencies still quote over WhatsApp and the phone. Agent tools that quote accurate fares and track payments help more than a consumer OTA.

— when not to hire us

When a booking platform already does it.

If you run tours or a small hotel, an established booking engine or channel manager will do the job for a monthly fee — you don't need a custom build. Hire us when the booking experience is your product, or when your supplier mix and pricing rules don't fit any off-the-shelf engine.

faq

Frequently asked.

8 questions answered. Still have one? Reach out.

Yes, as integration work — Amadeus Self-Service and Enterprise, Duffel's NDC layer and Sabre's REST APIs are documented, and we integrate payment and partner APIs in every sector. We have not run a GDS integration in production before, so we scope the supplier's onboarding and certification step explicitly and build fare-rules enforcement before checkout, not after the first refund dispute.
