Business profile of the offshore company must be verified. Is their business model stable? Are they financially capable and having enough resource to carry out your work successfully? Answers to these questions are of utmost importance. History of the company, realms where the company is expert, etc, must also be checked. You may also check whether the company has all the infrastructure to complete all aspects of your project. They must be well-versed in all the technologies needed to carry out the projects. The offshore company must have developed travel portals and websites for other travel agencies similar to you.
All the more important is to ensure you own the intellectual property and work deliverables, such as source code, designs, charts and diagrams, built for your project.
You offshore your web project and travel API integration mainly for saving money. Cost of these is related to many factors including complex design, number of modules, amount of content, payment gateway integration, etc. You should come into agreement with the vendor regarding the pricing terms of your project.
Key Differentiators:
Integrating your travel API (Application Programming Interface)
A travel API is a method used by software applications and programs to interact each another and share data, rules, settings or specifications. Travel APIs help to access the content of flights, hotels, car rentals, buses, cruises, etc, show their availability and pricing, and facilitate booking, confirmation and cancellation. It provides comparative data from multiple sources in order to offer the best deals to your clients. Travel APIs bring down your operational costs and provide your travel website vast booking opportunities.
Travel API helps you in ticket booking, cancellation, layout, tour and travel. It will also help you to reserve the seat your customer prefers. Travel APIs needed by online travel agencies are the following:
Travel API integration needs the services of a professional travel technology company. The company you choose must be able to decide the right API which suits your business model requirements. They must be able to carry out technical integration between applications. The offshore company you choose must be experienced in creating and implementing APIs for multiple platforms.
Only a major travel technology company which also has an efficient web design and development wing can integrate the major Web APIs and mobile API resources related to Travel, including those formatted in XML or JSON and those compatible with iOS and Android. Such a company can integrate Abacus, Worldspan, Travelport, Galileo, Amadeus, Riya, Ease ticket, and so on to your system.
