Respax Operator Network

Overview

Connect to live inventory directly and save time, delays, and resources booking tours. We permit other systems to connect directly with the our operators allowing easy access without the headaches of changing systems.

The Respax Operator Network (RON) can be directly accessed by tour booking agents for integration with their own reservation systems, providing providing real-time availability, booking facilities with immediate confirmations and product content with images. It is suitable for travel agents, online agents, inbound agents, online operators and online portals needing to develop a direct system-to-system interface between their systems and those of Respax tour operators.

Access is provided free of charge.

Benefits

Benefits of Direct Access

• Check and Book Immediately

• Cached Data
  Caching is the key to interacting with multiple remote systems as remote internet connections and systems have various degrees of reliability. The cache categories the data depending on importance of the cache data and how often it is changed. Each category has individual cache expiry. For example, tour content is only updated every 2 days, pricing every 4 hours but availability is updated immediately. Any booking is placed directly into the remote systems. This caching creates a much higher availability. Most data is available directly from the cache even if the remote system is down.
• Reduced Staff Training
  Instead of using individual booking interfaces for each operator, your staff can now book them all through your existing system which they are already trained to use.
• Reduced staff handling time.
• Reduced waiting time for your clients.
• A better return for investment for the connecting agent/distributor as they are developing against a large amount of tour operators (small and large worldwide) in a single development effort.

Steps to Connect

Steps to Connect

1. Register as a developer on the RON Administrator Console.
2. Develop against the RON API
   The development network is FREE to use so you can take your time. Even though it's a development environment, it still connects to remote systems so that you can get a feel for latencies and response times.
3. Become certified to use the live network
   This is a simple process, where we monitor the logs to confirm that you are utilising the API as recommended in the API documentation.
4. Request log-in maps from tour operators
   The RON Administrator Console helps you request the logins and map them to the correct tour operator. The tour operator ultimately decides who can login into their system. This ensures that whatever existing relationship that you have with them is maintained.
