Qantas New Distribution Capability (NDC) content is now available on Verteil’s flagship NDC distribution platform, Verteil Direct Connect (VDC), following the successful integration with Qantas Distribution Platform via IATA’s NDC standard based XML APIs.
Using VDC, Travel Agencies can now access Qantas NDC content, through the Qantas Distribution Platform, including personalized content tailored to meet travelers’ unique requirements, with new product types, dynamic offers and enhanced servicing functions that improve the agency servicing experience. Apart from the superior and real time content, Travel Agents will make savings of AUD 17.50 per segment for bookings through Qantas Distribution Platform, compared to Legacy channels.
VDC facilitates direct, real-time connectivity with Qantas NDC APIs thus accelerating the adoption of airline retailing without being constrained by the limitations of current legacy distribution systems. Travel service providers can get access to Qantas NDC content, and the rest of Verteil’s airline NDC network, through Verteil’s distribution platform by either using Verteil’s comprehensive NDC front office tool or integration via Verteil’s Universal API.
“Verteil is pleased to be an Approved Technology Partner of the Qantas Distribution Platform in the exciting NDC journey to enable modern retailing experience in the travel domain,” said said Jerrin Jos, Founder & CEO, Verteil Technologies.
“Our mission is to enable direct connectivity between airlines and travel companies, facilitating unlimited retailing possibilities in the airline e-commerce sector, without being constrained by limitations of legacy technology and this marks an important milestone in our mission. Qantas has a progressive NDC rollout strategy, and Verteil is thrilled at the possibility of opening up Qantas NDC content to our global customer base.”
Qantas Executive Manager, Global Sales & Distribution Igor Kwiatkowski said, “Our agency and Technology Partners are a key part of the expansion of our NDC program and we’re pleased to be welcoming Verteil. As we continue to launch new features through the Qantas Distribution Platform, this partnership will enable us to deliver special offers, richer content, and a better booking experience to more of our customers and agency partners.”
