Hey everyone! Marina Simó here, and today we’re diving into the world of Nezasa’s Connect API – an exciting topic that might sound complex, but fear not, I’ll do my best to keep it light.
So, what exactly is the Connect API, and why are we talking about it? Well, let’s break it down into bits. The Connect API is essentially a service designed to facilitate connectivity between Nezasa’s TripBuilder platform and third-party suppliers. It allows for seamless integration of live prices and availability from a wide range of suppliers, making it easier and faster for travel brands to access the content they need to create customised travel experiences for their customers.
Now, let’s address some common questions and misconceptions about the Connect API. First off, it’s important to understand that the Connect API is not a standalone feature of TripBuilder. Instead, it’s built on existing TripBuilder functionalities and is tailored to meet specific customer needs and requirements. This means that it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a flexible tool that can be adapted to suit different use cases.
One of the key goals of the Connect API is to reduce the time to market for new integrations. By enabling customers, suppliers, or integrators to build their own services, we streamline the integration process and get new travel providers onboarded faster. This benefits our customers, who get to keep their sales strategy intact, and can start taking value from our platform at a much quicker pace.
However, implementing the Connect API is not without its challenges. Industry adoption and the reluctance of big players to embrace new concepts can be barriers to entry. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to improving and expanding the Connect API to better serve the needs of our customers.
Looking ahead, our roadmap for the Connect API includes plans to onboard new suppliers, including flights, hotels, activities and other components. We’re also exploring the possibility of expanding the API to cover additional types of content, such as ground transportation and insurance.
The Connect API represents an exciting opportunity for travel brands to streamline their operations, access a wider range of content, and ultimately deliver better experiences for their customers. While there may be challenges along the way, we’re confident that the benefits of the Connect API far outweigh the obstacles, and we’re excited to continue innovating and improving in this space.
