Connect your supply and wider ecosystem with iVector

 Connect supplier content and the wider systems your business runs on, from CRM and finance to BI and payments. iVector helps improve speed to market, centralise control and reduce disconnected workflows. 

What does connectivity mean within iVector?

Supplier connectivity 

Supplier connectivity gives you access to travel supply through direct contracts and third-party suppliers connected to iVector. Rates, availability and content can be managed centrally through integrations built and maintained by intuitive. 

Ecosystem connectivity 

Ecosystem connectivity links iVector with the wider technology your business uses, including CRM, finance and ERP, BI, payments and other operational systems. This helps relevant information move between the reservation platform and the teams and processes that need it. 

The connectivity challenge

The cost of poor connectivity

When every supplier connection requires a separate integration, adding new supply takes longer and creates more technology for your team to manage.

Disconnected rates, availability and content also increase the risk of duplicated work and inconsistent information.

The same problem exists across wider business systems. When CRM, finance and reporting tools do not connect with the reservation system, teams spend time transferring and reconciling information manually.

The result is slower supplier onboarding, fragmented workflows and limited visibility across the business.

Supplier connectivity

Connect and manage your travel supply

Supplier connectivity is one half of what connectivity means within iVector. Supplier integrations covering accommodation, flights, transfers, car hire and ancillaries are built and maintained by intuitive.

These connections bring rates, availability and content from third-party suppliers into iVector, alongside your direct contracts.

As supplier APIs and systems change, intuitive manages the relevant integration updates, reducing the connectivity work your own development team needs to handle.

Supplier coverage

Connect supply across the travel journey

iVector’s supplier connectivity spans the main components of a travel booking, bringing connected rates, availability and content into one reservation system. 

Accommodation

Connect accommodation supply from bedbanks, channel managers and direct contracts.

Flights and cruise
Connect flight and cruise supply alongside the other components of the booking.
Transfers and car hire
Bring connected transfers and car hire into the same reservation journey. 
Ancillaries and extras
Add connected excursions and other extras to create a more complete trip. 

How supplier connectivity works

Supplier connectivity works in three stages. Each connection is maintained as suppliers update their systems, supporting ongoing reliability.

Accommodation connectivity through one API 

iVectorOne is intuitive’s hotel connectivity API. It connects an existing reservation system to direct contracts, channel managers and 120+ bedbanks through one managed API.

This gives travel businesses a simpler way to access and manage accommodation supply without building and maintaining a separate integration for every source.

iVectorOne can connect with iVector or another existing reservation system.

Manage your direct contracts alongside connected supply 

Direct contracts sit alongside connected third-party supply within iVector, giving you one place to manage both rather than separate systems for owned and connected inventory.

The detail behind loading, managing and controlling those contracts, rates, allocations and stop-sales, lives on the dedicated Contracting & Inventory Management capability page.

Ecosystem Connectivity

Connect iVector with your wider technology ecosystem

Ecosystem connectivity is the second half of connectivity within iVector. It connects the reservation operation with wider business technology, including CRM, finance and ERP, BI, payment systems and distribution channels.

This does not mean replacing the systems you already use. iVector can exchange relevant information with connected systems, helping reservation data reach the teams and processes that need it.

This reduces isolated workflows and the need to reconcile information manually between disconnected systems.

Connect the systems your business relies on

Connect iVector with CRM, finance, BI and payment systems to keep information moving across your business.

 

CRM

Share booking and customer data with the CRM your teams already use. 
Finance & ERP
Send booking and financial data to your chosen finance or ERP system to keep records aligned.
BI & Reporting
Feed iVector data into BI platforms for connected reporting and analysis. 
Payments

Managing this through iVector helps keep product, pricing and availability aligned across connected sales channels, while allowing the experience and commercial terms to reflect each route to market.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Everything you need to know about how iVector connects supplier content, business systems, sales channels and data. 

What does connectivity mean at intuitive? Travel technology connectivity within iVector covers two related needs. Supplier connectivity connects the travel supply you sell, while ecosystem connectivity connects iVector with wider business systems such as CRM, finance, BI and payments.

Together, they help connect what you sell with the systems and processes used to run your business.
What supplier types can intuitive connect? iVector connects to accommodation, including hotels, bedbanks and channel managers, flights, transfers, cruise, car hire and other ancillaries such as excursions and extras.

Coverage changes as integrations are added and maintained, so the specific suppliers available reflect what's currently connected rather than a fixed list.
Can intuitive connect to our existing CRM, finance or BI systems? Yes. iVector can connect with CRM, finance and ERP, and BI systems, with the precise scope depending on the technology involved and your integration requirements.

The specific data, workflows and connection method would be agreed as part of scoping and implementation.
Do we need to replace our existing systems? Not necessarily. iVector is designed to connect with wider business technology, so you may be able to retain existing CRM, finance, BI and payment systems.

The integrations required and the information exchanged would be agreed based on your existing technology and business processes.
How is supplier connectivity maintained? Supplier integrations are built and maintained by intuitive. As connected suppliers update their APIs and systems, intuitive manages the relevant changes to supported integrations.

This ongoing maintenance reduces the supplier connectivity work your own development team needs to manage.
