Travelfusion has developed the world's largest Direct Connect travel distribution system interfacing with 180+ airline & rail operators worldwide. The system (available via a single XML API) currently powers more than 80 of the world's largest leisure and corporate agents (OTAs (online travel agents), SBTs (self booking tools), TMCs (travel management companies) and e-commerce travel applications). Travelfusion's business model is based on a low per transaction fee and includes comprehensive technical as well as first line booking support.

The Travelfusion airline/rail Search and Book distribution system provides the most comprehensive solution for managing every aspect of both the search and booking stages for all travel suppliers. The XML APIs are simple to integrate, yet support all the complex functionality you would come to expect from airline and rail operators' sites, including online check-in, baggage, agency logins, multiple fare types and diverse payment options. Comprehensive management reports are available for each customer and provide in-depth insight about the use of the system and its effectiveness and performance levels.

One of the most unique features of the Travelfusion solution centres on the comprehensive customer support at both the pre and post booking stages. Travelfusion has built state of the art monitoring and alerts into its software system that together with a dedicated support team guarantee top notch service and coverage in case of any errors. Our on-site staff and our automated system work together to handle failed bookings when the status is unknown or any other technical issues.

For any online travel service worldwide that wishes to remain competitive and offer its users access to the most comprehensive content and best fares, Travelfusion offers an important piece of this solution. The highlights of the Travelfusion Search and Book system are:
