ClarityNDC - A Subscription-Based NDC Marketplace

NDC Marketplace (New Distribution Capability) is the latest buzzword in the travel industry. It's the silver button solution to travel supplier problems. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has introduced XML-based standards for transmitting data. This allows airlines to share their travel content in real-time and provides more transparency regarding pricing. NDC also allows airlines to offer personalized services and sell ancillary products such as extra baggage fees, extra legroom, or special meals. NDC is a preferred method for airlines and suppliers to market and sell rich content across all users and enhance the travel industry experience.

Clarity Travel Technology Solutions developed ClarityNDC in Canada, an IATA-certified NDC provider. The platform distributes New Distribution Capability content to airlines and travels retail outlets through a subscription-based marketplace.

Travel businesses can access ClarityNDC through affordable monthly subscriptions that suit their business needs. Customers can also manage their parameters through the portal. This includes setting credit limits for sub-agencies, creating transaction reports, issuing refunds or cancellations, and selecting from a range of ancillary service options.

ClarityNDC stated that it would make it easier to compare, book, and get ready to travel with ancillaries using the new NDC standard of IATA. Find competitive fares with various airlines, and increase your travel content through rich media and ancillary service.

Global Distribution System (GDS) incentives are not affected as travellers can log in with their credentials and use their payment method on ClarityNDC.

GDS surcharges are often avoided to save money on distribution fees for NDC content and avoid surcharges from airlines. ClarityNDC is an IATA Level 4 NDC Certified Aggregator that connects low-cost NDC-certified carriers with GDSs.

This platform allows travel agents to manage their staff permissions and roles and add markups in multiple currencies.

If airlines have specific information about consumers' shopping habits, they can design and distribute customized offers.

NDC adoption was slow because of the absence of consistent NDC Agency Portals by airlines, and the large variety of Application Programming Interfaces offered by NDC-certified airlines, in addition to low-cost carriers' already-existing storefronts.

Agents will need to switch between screens to find and compare the best offers. They may also have to pay additional fees for NDC bookings made via traditional channels.

With ClarityNDC, travel agents can enjoy the benefits of both low-cost and traditional channels. To get additional information visit our website ClarityTTS | +1 416 223 2800, or you can contact us at sales@claritytts.com.
