Portfolio of BIDT products & services – Executive summary:

Orientation:

Find out how your company could reduce its distribution costs by up to 20%!

If your company distributes some or all of its products and services through any Global Distribution System then we guarantee that the 60 seconds it takes to read this page is time well spent.

The monthly Billing Information Data Tape invoice (generated by the GDS) often contains a discrepancy of as much as 5-15%. For many travel providers this is hard to dispute since they lack the tools, skills and resources to process the raw billing data. Consequently they do not have the ability to question inaccurate invoices and to re-invoice the GDS for any overcharges.

Your company could be in this category of travel providers that overpays for various reasons e.g. access type, office type, territory, cancellation, double bookings etc.

At Navigatum we currently assist travel providers to audit and verify their BIDT with stunning results.

Our proprietary module consists of our processing software and an analytical framework that can be adapted and integrated into the processes of your company to assist you in reducing your distribution costs and create a greater understanding of how these costs are allocated.

The analysis reports we run also enable the travel provider to detect booking patterns and agency behaviours in time to directly prevent agency misuse, which indirectly can reduce the distribution cost with another 5-15%.
