ONE CONNECTIVITY LAYER FOR TRAVEL SUPPLY

Connect once.
Go further.

Blackrock Connect brings travel suppliers and distribution channels into one technology layer, so travel businesses in the GCC can add content, switch strategy and scale without rebuilding every customer channel. Hotels, flights, NDC, low-cost carriers, transfers, activities and downstream customers connect through one architecture.

THE SUPPLY PROBLEM

Supply should be a commercial choice, not a technical constraint.

Every supplier speaks a slightly different language. Search structures, rate rules, booking flows, errors, cancellations and content models vary across integrations. Blackrock Connect absorbs that complexity behind a consistent platform architecture.

  • Search and contentSupplier schemas, room naming and board basis differ, so results are normalised before your products see them.
  • Rates and rulesRate rules, cancellation policies and booking requirements differ, so supplier-specific behaviour is handled behind the layer.
  • Errors and limitsSuppliers slow down, return errors and set their own limits. Timeouts, fallbacks and rate control are handled in one layer.
WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT

Hotels, flights and APIs. One layer behind them all.

Supply moves through the same layer, in from suppliers and out to your customers.

Bedbanks, wholesalers, DMCs and other accommodation sources

Connect accommodation sources behind one search and booking architecture. A normalisation layer means your front-end products and operational systems do not need to understand every supplier separately. Support can include:

  • Parallel supplier searches, with timeouts, caching and rate control
  • Property mapping, with room and board normalisation depending on your mapping strategy
  • Rate check before booking, where the supplier workflow requires it
  • Supplier-specific booking, amendment and cancellation behind one experience
  • Pricing, client and supplier rules applied after aggregation

COMMERCIAL CONTROL

Change your supply. Keep every channel.

Add a supplier once, then decide which channels and clients can see it. Pricing, client and supplier rules apply after aggregation instead of being hard-coded into each connection.

  • Choose which supplier content each channel and client sees
  • Add content or switch strategy without rebuilding a channel
  • Pricing and supplier rules applied after aggregation
  • The same connections behind B2B, B2C, corporate and API channels
BEYOND SEARCH

BUILT FOR VOLUME

Built for high-volume search.

Travel connectivity has a very different performance profile from ordinary web applications. A single user search can create requests across many supplier systems at once.

Blackrock architects connectivity around:

  • Concurrency
  • Caching
  • Queues
  • Supplier limits
  • Fallbacks
  • Observability
  • Rate control

QUESTIONS

Questions about connectivity

How many suppliers can Blackrock connect to?

Blackrock has 200+ supplier connections across hotels, flights, NDC, low-cost carriers and other travel services. If the supplier you need is not on the list, our integration team can assess its API documentation, commercial access, certification requirements and operational workflows to design a new connection.

Can I use my own supplier contracts and credentials?

Yes. Blackrock Connect brings your suppliers, contracts and rates together, and flight content is combined according to your commercial agreements and market requirements. Exact capabilities depend on your credentials, the supplier's APIs and your configuration.

What happens when a supplier is slow or fails?

Connectivity is architected around concurrency, caching, queues, supplier limits, fallbacks, observability and rate control. Supplier searches run in parallel with timeouts, and monitoring shows which supplier is slow, failing or returning poor availability.

How do you handle duplicate hotels and different room names?

Blackrock supports property mapping workflows and can integrate specialist mapping providers where required. Room and board normalisation can also be incorporated, depending on the mapping and content strategy you choose. A rate check can reconfirm rate and availability before the booking is committed, where the supplier workflow requires it.

Can I sell my own inventory to other businesses?

Yes. API distribution exposes your own supply or aggregated content to travel agencies, affiliates, wholesalers or other connected partners through managed APIs, with client-level credentials, rate limits, IP controls, pricing rules and credit handling.

Does it connect to payments and accounting?

Blackrock connects payment gateways and financial systems so the transaction does not stop at booking confirmation. Blackrock is a TRAACS certified integration partner for integrated travel accounting, and bookings from every source feed into WebAdmin and finance.
