Travel & Hospitality
Transform the travel experience with technology. We build booking platforms, travel management systems, and hospitality solutions that enhance guest experiences, optimize operations, and drive revenue through personalization and automation.
What does Masarrati build for travel & hospitality?
Masarrati builds travel and hospitality software: booking engines, reservation and availability services, property and channel management integrations, guest applications with mobile check-in and digital keys, loyalty platforms, and revenue and rate management tools. Work includes GDS and OTA connectivity, distribution rate parity handling, and multilingual guest journeys. Masarrati engineers, documents and hands over the platform for your team to operate.
Why This Matters
Travel systems are judged on the worst day, not the average one. A cancelled flight, an overbooked property or a payment provider outage all arrive at once, and the software has to keep a coherent answer for the guest while operations recover. Most of the engineering difficulty is in reconciliation between distribution partners, property systems and payment records, not in the booking form itself.
Standards We Build To
- PCI DSS for card data captured during booking and at the property
- GDPR and equivalent data protection law covering guest profiles and passport data
- EU Package Travel Directive obligations on packaged and linked travel arrangements
- IATA standards including NDC for airline content and BSP settlement for agency sales
- OpenTravel Alliance and HTNG messaging specifications for hospitality system interfaces
- Advance Passenger Information and border-control data requirements for cross-border travel
What We Offer
Capabilities
Booking and Availability Engine
Inventory, rate plans, restrictions and allocation rules are evaluated in one pricing and availability service, so quotes stay consistent across web, mobile, call centre and partner channels.
Distribution and Channel Sync
Two-way connections to channel managers, OTAs and global distribution systems keep rates, availability and reservations aligned, with conflict handling when two channels sell the last unit.
Guest Journey Applications
Mobile itineraries, contactless check-in, digital room keys, in-stay requests and checkout, built to work offline and to degrade to a front-desk fallback.
Revenue and Rate Tools
Demand signals, competitor rates, pace and segment mix feed pricing recommendations that revenue managers accept, adjust or override, with every change recorded for later review.
Loyalty and Membership
Tier rules, point accrual and burn, partner earning and expiry handling run as a ledger-backed service, so balances reconcile and liability can be reported to finance.
PMS and Operations Integration
Adapters to property management, point-of-sale, housekeeping and door-lock systems, so a booking change updates room status, folio and access without manual re-entry by staff.
Where This Gets Used
- Direct booking engine: a branded reservation platform with rate plans, packages, upsells and property management system write-back
- Tour operator platform: an itinerary builder and supplier contracting system handling allotments, cut-off dates and dynamic packaging
- Guest experience app: a mobile companion with contactless check-in, digital keys, service requests and in-stay ordering
- Channel manager integration: a distribution layer synchronising rates, availability and reservations across online travel agencies and global distribution systems
- Group and events: a venue enquiry, quotation and function-diary system covering room blocks, catering and billing

Journey Build
Search, booking, modification, cancellation and in-stay flows are delivered in sprints with real inventory in test environments
Season Readiness

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What technology solutions do hotels and travel companies need?
Booking engines, property management systems, channel managers, guest experience apps, loyalty platforms, revenue management tools, and real-time inventory systems. Masarrati builds integrated hospitality platforms.
How can AI improve the travel experience?
AI enables personalized recommendations, dynamic pricing, chatbot concierge services, predictive demand forecasting, sentiment analysis of reviews, and automated customer support across multiple languages.
Can you integrate with existing property management systems?
Yes. Masarrati integrates with Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews, and other PMS solutions via APIs, plus OTA connections (Booking.com, Expedia) through channel managers for real-time rate and availability sync.
How do you handle high-traffic booking periods?
Through auto-scaling cloud infrastructure, CDN distribution, database read replicas, queue-based processing for bookings, and and load testing ahead of peak seasons so capacity is proven before demand arrives.
What mobile solutions do you build for travel companies?
Guest apps with mobile check-in/check-out, digital keys, in-room controls, local experience recommendations, loyalty point tracking, and real-time communication with hotel staff.
How do you prevent overbooking when selling across multiple channels?
One service holds authoritative availability and every channel reads from it. Allocations, stop-sells and minimum-stay rules are evaluated centrally, and reservations are written with optimistic locking so two simultaneous sales cannot both succeed on the last unit. Channel connectors reconcile on a schedule and raise a discrepancy record when a partner's view drifts. Where a partner enforces its own allotment, the rules are modelled explicitly rather than assumed.
Can you build a booking platform that handles multi-currency and international payments?
Yes. Display currency, charge currency and settlement currency are separated, with conversion applied at a defined point and the rate stored on the booking for later dispute handling. We integrate acquirers and local payment methods per market, support pre-authorisation and deferred capture for no-show and deposit policies, and design refund paths that match cancellation terms rather than being handled manually.
What does it take to connect to global distribution systems and airline content?
Air content arrives through several routes: traditional GDS messaging, IATA NDC APIs published by carriers, and aggregator APIs. Each has different schemas, servicing capabilities and settlement paths, so we build an internal offer and order model and map each source into it. Certification and test environments take real calendar time, which we plan for explicitly rather than treating connectivity as a late integration task.
How do you handle guest data privacy across multiple properties and countries?
Guest records are modelled with an explicit purpose and retention rule per field, so passport scans, dietary notes and marketing consent are governed differently. Data residency is handled at the storage layer, keeping records in the region where they were collected when law requires it. Access is role-scoped by property and brand, with subject access, correction and erasure requests supported as built-in workflows.
