Travel Distribution Technology, Explained
GDS vs NDC: GDS remains the backbone for broad inventory, while NDC gives access to airline-specific offers. Most modern OTAs need both, and our developers build the aggregation and normalization layer between them.
| Technology | What it is | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| GDS (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport) | Global distribution systems aggregating airline, hotel and car inventory | Selling flights and broad hotel inventory to agencies and OTAs |
| IATA NDC | XML-based standard for airlines to distribute rich content and ancillaries directly | Better fares, bundles, seats and bags from NDC-enabled airlines |
| Bed banks / wholesalers | Hotel inventory aggregators with negotiated rates | Hotel-heavy OTAs and package builders |
| Channel manager | Distributes a hotel's rates and availability to OTAs | Hotels selling on many channels |
| PMS | The hotel's operational core: rooms, reservations, folios | Any hotel booking engine or guest app |
| CRS | Central reservation system for hotel groups | Multi-property hotel brands |
