Travel technology company Multicom has developed an aggregator tool which agents can use to find the best deals from accomodation only suppliers.
The Accomodation Viewer, which will be officially launched at the Travel Technology Show next month, allows agents to search on criteria such distance from the beach and number of swimming pools.
It filters out duplicate hotels, displaying only the cheapest option, and allows agents to edit the information given about each property.
The agent’s preferred supplier is also flagged up, displaying the margin available on the property.
The application is currently being trialed with Thomas Cook and will be available as an add-on to the leisure GDS FindandBook.
Sales manager David Osborne said: “This gives agents the tool to clean up the quality of accomodation-only data. It gives them the potential to gain an edge over their competitors.”
The company is also working on other ancilliary services to FindandBook.
