Business Model
GP Travel Enterprise is a multifunctional modular platform that includes more than 100 modules. The architecture can be easily customized on demand to suit the requirements of various business models and covers such aspects as BUYING travel products from suppliers, SELLING them via B2B/B2C sales channels and MANAGING processes and reservations.
...
The modules of the system are combined into six independent components to solve the specific range of business tasks. All components and modules of the platform can be combined in many ways and also include scalability mechanisms for adaptation to business processes and unique needs.
Component | Business tasks |
|---|---|
HUB | Provide a unified interface for integration with multiple travel suppliers. |

Platform Delivery and Administration
Installation Options
GP Travel Enterprise can either be hosted on GP Solutions dedicated servers or on clients' servers.
Dedicated Server | Multi-Server Installation |
|---|---|
Individual software installation on a dedicated server of a client is the most common implementation option. The platform installation and configuration is performed by GP Solutions specialists. In case of plans for on-going customisation of the solution, we recommend having an additional test server for internal use. | If the system is supposed to process a large amount of booking transactions (approximately more than 5 000 bookings per month) or if high search load is expected, it is recommended to use the multi-server server installation to assure a high performance level. Note: Each multi-server installation is configured on a case-by-case basis according to every client’s exact requirements. |
