The Supplier Interface is the central connection solution for tour operators, hotels, airlines and other tourism service providers in the traffics CRS. It enables providers to feed their offers into the traffics distribution system in a structured, high-performance and standardised manner and make them available via connected distribution channels.
As an integral part of traffics CRS, the Supplier Interface forms the technical basis for the further processing, aggregation and distribution of tourism content in the B2B and B2C environments.
What the Supplier Interface stands for
The Supplier Interface is not just a data interface, but a central system component for the structured feed of tourism content into the traffics CRS. It creates the conditions for service providers' offers to be reliably processed, combined and made available for use via various sales channels.
The focus is on:
Structured and standardised offer connection
reliable processing of quotas, prices and availability
controlled transfer of content to downstream systems
scalability for different types of offers and distribution models
System role in traffics CRS
The supplier interface is fully integrated into the traffics CRS infrastructure. Service providers make their content available via defined interfaces. This content is processed, checked and prepared for further use in the traffics CRS – including for retrieval via the Universal Connector or for display in booking and sales systems. The Supplier Interface thus forms the basis for consistent and high-performance data provision within the entire traffics system landscape.
