LONDON, England – Vayant Travel Technologies, a world leader in airfare search innovation, today announced that TAP Portugal, the national airline of Portugal, has started distributing price and flight information to tour operators using Pricing Cache, Vayantโs precomputed shopping product.
Using Pricing Cache, TAP Portugal aims to strengthen its position in the German market, improving its relationships and productivity with German tour operators.
Vayant Pricing Cache gives TAP Portugalโs tour operator partners thousands of high-accuracy precomputed flight results across multiple Origins & Destinations and travel dates. These results are generated using Vayantโs own pricing and shopping engine and are fully bookable via the tour operatorsโ preferred booking channel.
TAP Portugalโs tour operator partners will use the results to power dynamic packaging of flights with related travel services such as cars or hotels.
Vayant updates the cache every few hours and TAP Portugal has the option to receive cache refreshes every hour.
Eric Dumas, CEO of Vayant, said: โDistribution is one of the biggest challenges facing airlines. With Pricing Cache, we help airlines like TAP Portugal build stronger relationships with the indirect channel, opening new opportunities for revenue.โ
Klemens Mรผller, Marketing & Sales Manager of TAP Portugal in Germany and Austria, points out: โThe new partnership with Vayant allows us to enhance our distribution in the tour operator segment with almost all relevant and strong operators for Portugal in the German market. We are looking forward to seeing even better results in the very near future.โ
