ZentrumHub Introduction

This page will help you get started with ZentrumHub's Products and terminologies

ZentrumHub is a travel technology platform that enables travel agencies to sell hotel inventories to their agents or end users. Integrated with more than 60 suppliers with global coverage, our customers can integrate Zentrum Hotel Booking Engine or Zentrum Connect APIs to enable search-to-book flow for their agents/users.

ZentrumHub operates in a BYOL(bring your own license) setup, where our customers have a license to sell inventory from multiple suppliers (bedbanks, GDS, OTAs, Channel managers, etc.). ZentrumHub, pre-certified with the majority of the suppliers, ensures an optimized integration, allowing you to get started swiftly and reducing your time to market. The universal API abstracts the implementation of individual suppliers, reducing the need to integrate, certify, and maintain individual connections, thereby providing direct cost savings and benefits.

The platform, built on the latest technology stack, is designed to scale as per your traffic requirements. Even at scale, the platform maintains its high performance, with a typical overhead of < 1sec, and an impressive availability rate of more than 99.99%.

Following is a list of terminologies and products that will help you get better acquainted with the ZentrumHub platform ecosystem:

Zentrum Booking Engine

Zentrum Booking Engine helps travel companies of all sizes get connected to multiple suppliers via a universal set of APIs powering hotel search to search-to-book experience. The booking engine API aggregates results across all licensed/configured suppliers. It provides the API with consumers' hotels, rooms, rates, ive static content data that the API consumers can present and sell on their websites. The AI-enabled booking engine also provides a way to present the most relevant hotels, thus reducing the time in search-to-book journey for end users/agents.

Zentrum Booking Engine APIs are primarily designed for OTAs that need an end-to-end hotel booking experience. The APIs integrate with hotel and room mapping solutions and supports various business configurations, such as multiple points of sales, revenue management, supplier configurations, etc. Consumers can directly integrate with booking engine APIs to power their custom UI with their secret sauce.

Zentrum Connect

Zentrum Connect helps its consumers connect to their chosen supplier(s) via a single unified API. The consumer can call the Zentrum Connect API to get hotels, rooms, rates, static content, and any all relevant information from a given supplier. As the call is made, Zentrum Connect will get this information from the relevant supplier and present it as part of the unified Zentrum Connect interface.

Zentrum Connect APIs are primarily designed for OTAs/bedbanks who already have a booking engine or have one or more supplier(s) integrated into their platform. Once integrated with Zentrum Connect API they can have any new supplier enabled into their system just by changing configuration on the same integration.

Zentrum Aqua is a white-label UI solution that helps OTAs launch their hotel booking UI platform with defined templates. The solution is available for both B2B and B2C travel agencies. It comes integrated with the Zentrum Booking Engine and offers a next-gen UI/UX experience for end users/agents.

Zentrum Aqua is primarily designed for OTAs who want an end-to-end hotel booking platform, including the booking interface. It supports SSO integration and is integrated with leading payment gateways such as Stripe, Authorize.Net and many more.
