GDS (Global Distribution System) is an IT system used by Travel Agents to book flight tickets, hotels, car rentals and cruises. At present there are about 650,000 travel agents using GDS. In addition these travel agents, hundreds of on-line booking websites also use the data to sell rooms.

There are 4 GDSs worldwide: Sabre, Amadeus, Galileo and Worldspan The advantages of integrated GDS connectivity are: the complete integration in the booking engine makes it very easy to use rates and availabilities (promotional, negotiated and corporate) only need to be updated on Cosmores If your hotel is already represented on a GDS, Cosmores can interface with the technical platform already in use.

Pegasus ODD and ADS Distribution - In addition to GDS representation, Cosmores can distribute your property through the Pegasus ODD (Online Distribution Database), on more than 100 ADS (Alternate Distribution Systems).

Cosmores includes a two-way Channel Manager able to manage distribution channels easily, rapidly and fully automatically based on one room inventory.

Cosmores Channel Manager enables distribution in a way that minimises the extranets a hotel may have to manage — saving time and ensuring rate parity — but does so in a way that allows hotels more control and content distribution options than a traditional CRS and channel manager set-up.

Cosmores brings the next generation channel management functionality, taking the concept to a new level by being a true distributor and not an allocator, allowing for greater control of bookings thanks to a two-way writing using direct xml links. Unlike traditional allocators, the Cosmores Channel Manager actually manages your bookings instead of just updating rates and availability. This enables intelligent and centralised reporting, making vital decisions much easier.
