« Django meets students | Teatime »
Last week we finished an application for a travel agency, who wished to handle Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport (the company which took over the Travel Distribution Service of Galileo and the Worldspan company ) and others from one source. Means that we built a middleware (service layer) which brings the different APIs from the CRS providers together to one API. This single interface can now be gated to a booking system.
The advantages are obvious, aren’t they?
You don’t have to decide anymore between the providers – so the offer range is growing distinctly. Respectively there’s no need to build a new API if it is decided later on to use one more reservation system. If you once installed the multiple interfaces, you can extend it as often and much as you wish to.
The application was developed with Ruby on Rails on soap4r. This assures that the middleware is stable and works fluently.
So feel free to ask if you want to benefit from our experience with CRSs.
