About Travelplugz
Q1. What is Travelplugz?
Travelplugz is DIGITRIPS Tech's travel content aggregator. It connects more than 100 third-party providers (bedbanks, wholesalers, OTAs, DMCs) via a single API, with deduplicated content and a back-office system to manage each provider's performance.
Q2. Who is Travelplugz for?
Travelplugz is designed for tour operators, OTAs, bedbanks, DMCs, and travel distributors who want to expand their offerings without increasing development efforts. Tailored solutions are available for DMCs on the one hand, and for bedbanks and OTAs on the other.
Q3. What is a bedbank, and what is a DMC?
A bedbank is a wholesaler that buys hotel rooms in bulk and resells them to travel professionals, such as Hotelbeds or WebBeds. A DMC (Destination Management Company) is a local tour operator that designs and operates services in its destination, including hotels, transfers, and excursions. Travelplugz connects the two.
Content and Providers
Q4. Which providers can be connected to Travelplugz?
More than 100 suppliers are already connected, including Hotelbeds, WebBeds, Expedia, Booking.com, Amadeus, Sabre, TBO Holidays, Sunhotels, W2M, and Yalago, as well as numerous DMCs and destination specialists such as Abreu, Jonview, Italcamel, and Exo Travel.
Q5. What does “deduplicated content” mean?
The same hotel is often listed by multiple providers under different names or codes. Travelplugz consolidates these listings to display a single entry per property. Your customers see a clear listing, and you can compare rates from different providers for the same hotel.
Q6. Do we need to have our own contracts with suppliers?
Yes. You retain your business relationships and terms with each supplier. You simply provide us with your login credentials: Travelplugz handles the technical connection and its maintenance.
Q7. Can we request a connection from a provider that isn't yet available?
Yes. The list of suppliers is constantly expanding to meet our clients' needs. Please let us know which supplier you prefer during the project scoping phase.
Management and Performance
Q8. What is "look-to-book," and why should you follow it?
The look-to-book ratio is the ratio of the number of searches (“look”) to the number of bookings (“book”). The higher it is, the more you’re engaging with a provider without booking, which can result in costs or restrictions. Tracking this ratio helps you optimize your connections and conversion rates.
Q9. What can you do with Travelplugz Admin?
Travelplugz Admin is the back-office management system. It displays real-time look-to-book, look-to-quote, look-to-revenue, and cancellation rates; ranks suppliers by performance; measures errors by sales channel; and tracks revenue by period and destination.
Q10. Can margins and distribution rules be managed by channel?
Yes. From Travelplugz Admin, you can manage markups, feeds, overload rules, and enabled features for each supplier, based on your distribution channels.
Implementation and Business Model
Q11. How does the Travelplugz setup process work?
In 4 steps: contract and scope definition, sharing of supplier access credentials, configuration of data flows according to your channels and business rules, followed by joint testing before going live.
Q12. How is Travelplugz billed?
The model includes a setup fee, followed by usage fees tailored to your business: a percentage of traffic, capped per listing, for DMCs; and a per-booking fee that decreases based on annual volume for bedbanks and OTAs. A monthly minimum applies. The DIGITRIPS Pro inventory is connected at no additional cost.
Q13. Does Travelplugz work with other DIGITRIPS Tech solutions?
Yes. Travelplugz works with Hotel Direct Access as part of the Hotel Connectivity Suite, powers Smart Package to create dynamic packages, and integrates natively with Blue VCC to pay your suppliers via virtual card.
