Travel.CimpleO

OTA platforms (Booking, Aviasales, Skyscanner) aggregate fares and add their own margin before displaying results. Travellers pay the platform’s cut. Direct GDS access removes one layer.

Travel.CimpleO queries airline GDS systems and hotel inventory APIs directly, normalises the results, and returns availability with the actual net fare. The search interface handles multi-city itineraries, flexible-date grids, and cabin class filtering.

Built as an internal tool for corporate travel coordination across our client network, the platform proved useful enough to open for public use. It now handles bookings for individual travellers and small teams.

The tech stack prioritises search latency: Redis caches calendar-grid searches, Elasticsearch indexes historical fare data for the flexible-date feature, and the GDS adapter runs connection pooling to handle concurrent availability checks without per-request session overhead.
