SOUND FAMILIAR?

Different businesses get stuck in different ways.

Which of these sounds like your week?

Our team works across too many tools, and the same booking gets typed in twice.

Bookings, customers, suppliers and finance sit apart, so effort is repeated.

Travel agency solutions

Every corporate client wants something different, so we keep rebuilding.

Users, policies, cost centres, pricing and reporting have to stay separate for each customer.

TMC solutions

Our site looks like everyone else's.

A generic template, instead of web and mobile experiences built around your brand.

OTA solutions

We would spend the whole first year rebuilding what already exists.

Booking, connectivity and operations are infrastructure. Your time belongs to the idea.

Startup solutions

Our markets, teams and legacy systems will never fit one workflow.

A simplistic workflow forces every operation into one mould, or means replacing systems that work.

Enterprise solutions

QUESTIONS

Questions about choosing a solution

Which solution is right for my business?

Travel agencies use Blackrock for booking, operations, finance and supplier connectivity. TMCs combine corporate self-booking, policy, approvals and supplier content. Online travel agencies build branded web and mobile products on Blackrock Connect and WebAdmin. Startups launch with only the capabilities they need, and enterprise groups get custom, scalable technology for multi-market operations. Umrah and Hajj travel businesses are supported on the same platform. If you sit between two, book a demo and we will walk through both.

Can we start with one product and add more later?

Yes. You can choose only the capabilities you need for launch (B2C, B2B, corporate, suppliers, payments, WebAdmin or API) and add suppliers, products, markets, channels and operational capabilities as the business proves demand.

Do we have to replace our existing systems?

Not where replacing them would create more risk than value. Blackrock connects existing finance, ERP, identity, supplier and operational systems, and migration planning is part of larger programmes.

Does it work in Arabic, and in how many languages?

Our booking products (B2B, B2C and Corporate) support eight languages: English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese, with full Arabic right-to-left.

Can it be customised around our own workflows?

Yes. Blackrock can adapt workflows around your service model, for example high-touch servicing, online adoption, account management and client-specific reporting for TMCs, and extend the platform around differentiated business rules and complex requirements.

How long does it take to go live?

Delivery is hybrid: you configure the platform yourself while our engineers handle everything specific to your business, and you can go live in 2–6 weeks. Timelines vary with scope, suppliers and custom work.
