With over a million bookings a year and a 30 per cent share of TPConnects’ global volume, Aussie and Kiwi agents clearly know a good thing when they see it.
If you’re a travel agent in Australia or New Zealand, chances are you’ve already come across TPConnects.
But if you haven’t, well then, it’s time to pay attention because this travel tech powerhouse is making serious waves in our little corner of the world and you really ought to know about it…
And the reason why is actually pretty simple: Iris, TPConnects’ next-gen aggregator.
With an amazing ability to bring all air content together in a seamless platform in one place—EDIFACT, LCC, NDC, etc—booking is faster, easier and way less of a hassle than using other systems.
Because let’s be real—no one wants to juggle ten different systems before their morning coffee!
Let’s dive a little deeper shall we, and see why TPConnects is making serious waves in the Aussie and Kiwi travel industry.
Simplification is the name of this booking game
Remember the days when you had to jump between different systems to compare fares and availability? Well, thanks to Iris, those days are well and truly behind you.
This single platform connects travel sellers with all air content—traditional GDS bookings, low-cost carriers, and direct airline NDC connections—all without the headache.
The result? Faster searches, better choices and way less time staring at loading screens…
Even better, as a leading enabler of airline content distribution and independent technology provider trusted by major carriers worldwide, such as Qatar Airways, Gulf Air and Finnair, TPConnects empowers airlines to take control of their retailing through their Astra NDC API Gateway and Astra B2B Portal.
This allows them to deliver their content to their partners and customers (like you) as efficiently as possible.
Score!
Plug-and-play and up-and-running in no time
We know, we know; adopting new technology can be daunting. But TPConnects has eliminated ALL the stress.
Designed to be plug-and-play, this means you can be up and running in days, not months!
That’s right: no long, complex integrations—just a system that works straight out of the box, designed to make your life easier.
Basically, it’s the travel tech equivalent of assembling IKEA furniture, but without the mysterious extra screws…
Work smarter (not harder) and maximise your profits
Iris isn’t just about making bookings easier, but also about making them way more profitable.
With built-in revenue optimisation tools like the pricing engine, content control engine and commission manager, you have absolute, full control over margins and commissions.
This means better revenue management, increased profitability and greater flexibility when structuring deals for your clients.
The result?
More money, less stress—it’s total WIN-WIN!
Managing your bookings has never been easier
Beyond actually making bookings, though, Iris is also built to handle the complexities of post-sale servicing.
So whether it’s changes, cancellations or modifications, Iris streamlines the entire process for you, giving agents much more control and overall improving the client experience.
Good service the first-time round basically ensures that you’ll be able to make these customers repeat clients for years and years to come…
