Sync rates, availability and restrictions across OTAs and direct booking sites in real time. Cut overbookings, boost revenue and recover hours of manual work every week.
adivaha® powers more than 2,400 travel brands across 120+ countries, with engineering teams in India and Europe and 200+ pre-integrated supplier connections. We are an Amadeus Global CAP Licence holder and ISO 9001:2015 certified. The platform you read about on this page sits inside the same connected core that powers booking engines, agent portals, mobile apps, gift cards, loyalty programs and AI automations across every product line we ship.
This page is part of adivaha®’s broader travel-tech catalogue covering flights, hotels, holiday packages, transfers, activities, gift cards, loyalty, corporate travel, mobile apps and AI automations. Customers typically start with one product and layer on the rest as they grow - everything sits on the same supplier pool, the same payment rails, the same customer wallet and the same audit log so adding a new module never means a re-platform.
Run your own supplier extranet so hotels, transfer operators or tour providers load their own inventory and pricing. The platform is built for the operational reality of travel - cancellations, refunds, credit shells, supplier reconfirmations, multi-currency settlement, GST on commission vs principal sales, ADM/ACM handling - all of it modelled as first-class concepts rather than afterthoughts. That’s the difference between travel-tech that scales and a generic SaaS product retrofitted for travel.
Most adivaha® customers go from contract to first production booking in 2-3 weeks. The path is short because the hard parts are already done: supplier credentials are pre-provisioned, the booking flow is tested end-to-end, payment gateways are integrated, and the white-label theming sits behind a config flag. Your team focuses on the parts that are actually unique to your business - brand, audience, market positioning, supplier contracts - instead of rebuilding a booking engine from scratch.
Beyond the speed-to-launch advantage, customers stay on adivaha® because the platform compounds. Every supplier we add, every payment rail we wire in, every AI capability we ship lands automatically for everyone on the platform - not as a paid upgrade, not behind an enterprise tier. The roadmap moves the entire customer base forward together. That’s how a small agency in 2023 ends up with the same supplier coverage as a multi-country OTA in 2026 without ever touching the integration code themselves.
The architecture, the integration approach and the operational model behind every production deployment.
A 200+ supplier pool sits behind a single, normalised contract. Search results stream back from parallel calls so users see partial results immediately rather than waiting for the slowest provider. When a supplier ships a breaking change - an NDC update, a rate-plan reorganisation, a deprecated endpoint - we absorb it in our adapter layer so your code never has to.
Your domain, logo, colours and store-listing copy are wired in by our delivery team. The white-label storefront ships in 2-3 weeks for most customers. Custom UI work or unusual payment requirements may extend the timeline, but we’ll be upfront about exactly what changes the schedule.
Run a customer-facing site and a B2B agent portal from one platform with role-based access, separate fare displays for retail and trade, KYC for sub-agents, commission tiers and credit-shell management. Markups apply per supplier, per product, per agent, per market - with stacking rules and override priority.
Cards, UPI, wallets, BNPL and FX flow through the same checkout. adivaha Pay reconciles transactions automatically against bookings; one escrow covers every supplier so the customer payment, your markup and the supplier cost are tracked in a single ledger. UPI integration ships out of the box for Indian markets.
Conversational booking assistants, support auto-resolution, invoice generation and anomaly alerts run on top of adivaha AI. Every AI action that touches money, contracts or customers waits for human sign-off, and every action is logged with full audit trail. PII is redacted at the edge before reaching any LLM.
Native mobile apps on iOS and Android share the same backend. Public REST APIs expose everything the storefront uses, with OpenAPI 3.1 specs, Postman collections, SDKs in five languages and HMAC-signed webhooks for booking and refund events.
The features that look small on a demo but compound into real margin advantage when you’re running production traffic month after month.
Suppliers manage rooms, rates, calendars and stop-sells themselves.
Why it matters: Without this you’d be paying engineering or operations cost every month to do the same work manually - a hidden tax that grows with your booking volume. The platform absorbs that cost so your team doesn’t have to.
Map your inventory out to OTAs and metasearch.
Why it matters: This is the kind of feature most platforms charge as an enterprise add-on. It ships standard with adivaha® because it’s how a real travel business actually operates.
Per-channel allotments and instant stop-sell controls.
Why it matters: Customers who lean on this consistently outperform peers on conversion, supplier mix and reconciliation accuracy. The compounding shows up in margin within a quarter or two.
API contracts stay supported for at least 12 months after the next major version ships. Suppliers churn, regulations change, but your code keeps working.
Why it matters: It’s built around an open contract, so you can extend it without waiting for a vendor release cycle. When your business shifts, the platform shifts with you.
Logs, traces, latency, error rates and rate-limit usage available per API key, per environment. No more guessing why a request failed yesterday.
Why it matters: The audit trail and rollback story make it safe to use even on money-affecting flows. Compliance teams love it; finance teams stop double-checking exports.
Sandbox keys issued within 24 hours with realistic test data. Same code as production so what you build there works in production unchanged.
Why it matters: It scales linearly with traffic - no surprise re-architecture when you 10x volume. The same API call that works at 100 RPS works at 1000 RPS.
Specialist coverage for the verticals where adivaha customers operate today, from inbound DMCs to corporate self-booking tools.
GDS, NDC and LCC content unified into one normalised search response. Sub-second median latency, smart caching and parallel calls so the slowest supplier doesn’t bottleneck checkout.
Aggregate API hotel inventory with your contracted properties through the mapping engine. Duplicates collapse, cheapest rate wins, your markups apply automatically.
Airport, intercity and chauffeur transfers with vehicle/driver allocation and a live ops console for day-of dispatch. Bookable inline with hotel or flight reservations.
Curated tours, attractions, day trips and tickets with QR voucher fulfilment. Sell standalone or bundled into dynamic packages.
Earn-and-burn points engine with tiers, expiry rules, multiplier campaigns and a built-in reward catalogue across travel and retail.
Native iOS and Android apps with biometric login, Apple/Google Pay, push notifications and offline itineraries. One backend powers web and mobile.
Most launches follow this exact rhythm. Use it to plan internal communications, marketing campaigns and team capacity around your launch date.
Contract signed, kickoff call scheduled, your dedicated success manager and a delivery engineer are assigned. You’ll have everyone’s direct contact details before the day ends.
Sandbox keys live within 24 hours of kickoff. Branding assets, supplier credentials and payment gateway details collected. Your team begins integration work in parallel with our delivery work.
White-label storefront branded and themed. Suppliers wired in and tested in sandbox. Payment gateway connected. Markup rules and agent tiers configured. The portal looks and behaves like yours.
UAT runs on a near-production environment with real supplier sandboxes. Soft launch to a controlled audience or a small set of sub-agents. Full launch follows once the soft-launch metrics look right.
Production support handover, monitoring dashboards live, success manager checks in weekly for the first month. Layer on AI, mobile apps and additional APIs as your traffic grows.
And that’s exactly why a purpose-built platform pays back quickly compared to building or assembling it yourself.
If you’ve been around travel-tech for any amount of time, you already know this part. Inventory is real-time and supplier-defined. Pricing depends on dozens of variables - cabin class, fare basis, season, blackout dates, contracted rates, agent commissions, country-specific taxes, GST on commission vs principal sales, FX conversions, holiday surcharges, advance-purchase discounts, group rules - and any combination of those can change between the moment a customer searches and the moment they pay.
A booking can fail at twenty different points: search timeout, fare quote mismatch, hold expiry, payment authorization, ticket issuance, voucher generation, supplier confirmation, document fulfilment. Each failure mode has its own retry semantics, its own customer-facing message, its own back-office reconciliation requirement. Get any one of those wrong at scale and you have angry customers, finance disputes and lost margin.
Refunds and cancellations follow rules that vary per supplier, per product, per market, per fare class - and they often interact with credit-shell credits, ADM/ACM debit memos, BSP settlement timelines and your own loyalty program rules. The combinatorial complexity is the reason most travel companies eventually concede that this isn’t something you build once and walk away from. It needs continuous investment by people who understand the domain.
adivaha® has spent fifteen years modelling all of that into a platform that handles the complexity behind the scenes so your team can focus on customers, not on plumbing. Every supplier integration sits behind a unified contract. When a partner ships a breaking change, we absorb it in our adapter layer so your code never breaks. When a regulation shifts, we patch the platform and ship to all customers in the same release.
Where customers focus their first 90 days - the mix that matches your existing audience and supplier relationships usually wins.
Start with flight search and ticketing. GDS, NDC and LCC content unified. Add hotels and packages once flight volume justifies the supplier overhead. Common for OTAs targeting business travelers.
Open with hotel inventory aggregation across API bedbanks plus your own contracted properties. Add transfers and activities to lift average order value. Common for DMCs and inbound tour operators.
Launch a gift card or loyalty program first to build a wallet-attached customer base, then layer travel products as customers come back to redeem. Common for retail brands moving into travel adjacencies.
Your starting mix isn’t a one-way door. Customers commonly start flight-led and add hotels in the second quarter. Hotel-led customers add transfers and activities to lift basket size. Loyalty-led customers eventually become full multi-product OTAs. The platform handles the expansion path without re-platforming.
Direct partnerships with the GDS systems, hotel bedbanks and payment networks that handle the majority of travel transactions globally.
Our partnership network is the foundation of the platform. We hold an Amadeus Global CAP Licence with direct PCC provisioning, are recognised as an integration partner with Sabre and Travelport, and ship pre-integrated connections to Hotelbeds, Expedia, Agoda, RateHawk, GRN, Bridgify and dozens more bedbanks. Customers benefit from these relationships from Day 1 - no separate supplier negotiations, no waiting in line for credentials.
On the quality side, the platform carries an ISO 9001:2015 certification covering both platform development and customer delivery processes. Application security follows OWASP standards with annual third-party penetration testing. Payment processing flows through PCI-compliant tokenisation. Webhook payloads carry HMAC signatures. SSO and granular role-based access control are available on enterprise plans.
Operationally we commit to a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA for paid plans, with credit-back guarantees on enterprise contracts and Slack-channel access for direct support. The platform processes 50 million+ API calls per month at sub-second median latency, with per-key observability surfaced in every customer’s dashboard. None of these credentials are unusual by enterprise SaaS standards - but they’re relatively rare in travel-tech, and that’s exactly the point.
The platform-level choices that look small at evaluation time and pay back over years of running production traffic.
1. A normalised search response across every supplier. Whether the result comes from Amadeus, Sabre, an LCC partner or a hotel bedbank, your storefront sees the same shape. No supplier-specific code paths in your app, no edge cases you discover only when a new supplier ships a different format.
2. Idempotent booking confirmations from Day 1. Double-clicks, network retries and webhook redelivery never create duplicate tickets. Booking IDs are deterministic on the server. Your reconciliation always matches your customer-facing confirmations - even when something glitches mid-transaction.
3. Audit logs on every change, attributable to a user or token. Compliance teams stop asking for special exports. Disputes get resolved with the actual record of what happened. The audit log is part of the platform, not a paid add-on bolted on for enterprise customers.
4. Webhook delivery with retries, signatures and dead-letter queue. When your endpoint goes down, our retries don’t lose events. When you finally come back online, we replay the queue. HMAC signatures let you verify every payload is genuine before processing.
5. Sandbox identical to production at the code level. Not a stripped-down preview environment. Same code, same logic, same edge-case behaviour - only with test supplier credentials and isolated payment routing. What you build in sandbox works in production unchanged.
A channel manager is the layer that pushes hotel rates, availability and restrictions out to OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, etc.) and pulls back bookings - in real time. Without it, hoteliers update each OTA manually, a recipe for overbookings and rate mismatches.
adivaha® integrates with leading channel managers (SiteMinder, RateGain, STAAH, Cloudbeds, eZee and more) so your hotel extranet instantly distributes inventory to every connected OTA and your direct booking site.
Rate, availability and restriction updates push to OTAs in seconds, not hours.
One inventory pool across web, OTA, agent portal and mobile app.
Connect dynamic pricing rules; rates change based on occupancy, day-of-week or season.
Run a single property or a 500-property chain from the same console.
When inventory hits zero, every channel closes simultaneously.
Detect and flag rate-parity violations across OTAs.
Bring your existing channel manager or pick one we recommend. We integrate with the major players out of the box.
Imagine you run a 50-room boutique hotel in Goa. To fill rooms you need to be visible on Booking.com (highest commission but biggest demand), Expedia (US/Canada audience), Agoda (Asian audience), Airbnb (younger / longer-stay travellers), MakeMyTrip and Goibibo (Indian audience), plus your direct booking website. That's 7+ channels, each with its own extranet, its own rate-loading workflow, its own inventory updates and its own commission structure. Without a channel manager, your reservation team spends 30-40% of their day just keeping rates and inventory in sync across these channels manually. They'll inevitably miss an update somewhere, sell rooms that aren't available, get hit with overbooking penalties from OTAs, and field angry customer calls when you have to relocate guests.
A channel manager solves this with a single source of truth. You update rates and inventory once - in your PMS or the channel-manager extranet - and the channel manager pushes those updates to every connected channel within seconds. When a booking comes in from any channel, the channel manager pulls it back and immediately closes that room across all other channels. Race conditions still happen at the edge (two customers booking the last available room on different OTAs simultaneously) but safety-buffer rules and soft-close logic mitigate them.
The economics for hotels are dramatic. A channel manager that costs $50-$200 per month per property typically saves 10-20 hours of manual work per week per property, prevents 2-5 overbooking incidents per month, and lifts revenue 5-15% by enabling better rate management and broader OTA distribution. For a 50-room hotel with $50,000 monthly revenue, even the lower end of that revenue lift pays for the channel manager 25x over.
For chains and aggregators (multi-property operators, hotel-management companies), the case is even stronger. Running 50-500+ properties without a unified channel-manager layer is operationally impossible. The channel manager becomes the central nervous system of the chain's revenue operations - rates, restrictions, promotions, group blocks all managed centrally and distributed automatically.
Modern channel managers operate on a star architecture: PMS or central inventory database at the centre, channel manager as the hub, OTAs and direct booking sites as the spokes. Every rate change, inventory update, restriction (close-out, MLOS, CTA, CTD) flows from the centre through the hub to all connected channels. Bookings flow inbound the same way - OTA confirms a booking, channel manager receives the notification, pulls inventory across all other channels, updates the PMS and triggers the agency's booking confirmation flow.
The reliability of this flow depends on the channel manager's API maturity with each OTA. SiteMinder, RateGain and STAAH have spent years building robust two-way integrations with Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and the long tail of regional OTAs. Newer channel managers (Cloudbeds, eZee, Hotelogix) have caught up on the major OTAs but may have weaker coverage on regional / niche OTAs. adivaha integrates with all major channel managers so the hotelier picks the one that best fits their property mix.
For travel agencies and aggregators (B2B hotel marketplaces), channel-manager integration works the other way: instead of pushing inventory out to OTAs, the marketplace pulls inventory IN from operator-side channel managers. This lets a B2B marketplace offer tens of thousands of properties with live availability without negotiating individual hotel contracts - the channel-manager network is the supply layer.
Small / boutique hotels (10-100 rooms) running on Cloudbeds, eZee or similar PMS+CM combo.
Mid-size and large chains (10-500+ properties) using SiteMinder or RateGain at scale.
B2B hotel marketplaces (OYO, Treebo, FabHotels) pulling inventory via channel-manager networks.
Vacation-rental owners and managers (Airbnb superhosts, Vrbo operators) using PMS like Hostfully.
Resort chains running multi-property programmes with dynamic pricing and yield management.
Hotel revenue managers using yield-based pricing tools (Duetto, IDeaS) integrated via CM.
Boutique / lifestyle hotels with strong direct-booking strategy alongside OTA distribution.
PMS vendors (Cloudbeds, Mews, Apaleo) embedding adivaha's booking engine into their offering.
Travel agencies adding hotel inventory to their flight + tour offering via aggregator pull.
Industry data from STR, Phocuswright and adivaha-customer averages.
SiteMinder, RateGain, STAAH, Cloudbeds, eZee, Hotelogix, RoomRaccoon, Mews, Apaleo, MyHotelLine, AxisRooms, MMR, Reztark and several others. If you have a less-common one, tell us - we likely have a connector or can build one (typical custom-connector build time 4-8 weeks).
Updates push within seconds for major channel managers (SiteMinder, RateGain, STAAH typically 2-10 seconds). Booking pull-backs are typically within 1-2 minutes. Some smaller / regional CMs work on 5-15 minute polling cycles.
Yes - if your PMS already integrates with a channel manager, we hook in there. If not, we can build a direct PMS connector. Common direct-PMS integrations: Cloudbeds, Mews, Apaleo, Opera, Protel, Ezee Frontdesk, RoomMaster.
It dramatically reduces them. The remaining edge cases (race conditions across OTAs at zero inventory) are mitigated by safety buffers we configure with you (e.g., reserve last 2 rooms from OTA distribution, sell only via direct booking). Most properties see 80%+ reduction in overbooking incidents.
Channel manager actively monitors rate parity across OTAs. If a price disparity is detected (your direct rate is higher than Booking.com's rate, breaking parity agreements), it flags for review. Some channel managers offer auto-correction (push direct rate down to match) but this can damage direct-booking strategy.
Yes - integrate with Duetto, IDeaS, Atomize, Pricepoint or other revenue-management systems via the channel manager. Pricing updates flow from RMS → CM → all OTAs automatically.
Yes - all standard hotel restrictions supported: minimum length of stay (MLOS), closed to arrival (CTA), closed to departure (CTD), maximum length of stay, advanced-booking windows, last-room-availability rules. All push to connected OTAs.
Inbound bookings flow CM → PMS automatically. Each booking carries OTA reference number, guest details, room nights, room type, special requests and rate. PMS treats it like any other reservation. Cancellations flow the same way.
Yes - promotions, packages and flash sales can be configured at the CM level and pushed to all (or selected) OTAs. Common patterns: 24-hour flash sale at 25% discount, weekend special, advance-purchase 7-day discount.
Most channel managers integrate with AI yield-management tools that adjust prices automatically based on demand, occupancy, competitor pricing and historical patterns. We support the major ones (Duetto, IDeaS, Atomize, Pricelabs).
Group bookings are typically blocked from channel-manager distribution because they need manual confirmation, custom rates and contract terms. The platform supports a separate group-booking flow that lets sales teams handle group requests directly while regular individual rates continue flowing through the channel manager untouched.
Yes - a master promotion can apply to selected properties (all properties in a region, all properties of a brand, properties matching a tag) and push to all connected channels in seconds. Common patterns: chain-wide flash sale, brand-tier exclusive offer, destination-targeted promotion.
Property descriptions and amenities can be uploaded in multiple languages and the platform pushes the matching language to each OTA. Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda all accept multi-language content; smaller OTAs may default to English.
