Tourico Holidays Launches New Push Service for Offline Inventory Cache
Tourico Holidays, a wholesale travel brokerage company, launched a new push service allowing its distribution clients to build and refresh an up-to-date Availability and Rates cache. Partners now have the option of importing and caching Tourico’s inventory – creating an offline, in-house database of available product and prices.
Tourico’s new service immediately pushes individual updates – or inventory changes – to clients, maintaining a fresh cache. The instant updates reduce latency and allow clients to sell last minute inventory, while greatly reducing failed bookings.
The new push service also exposes the Tourico “business logic,” providing clients with pre-calculated total prices that reflect currency changes, promotion discounts, and other business factors. Furthermore, if suppliers focus on certain regions, they can opt into only receiving updates to certain hotels and inventory.
