When this work is useful
- Leadership wants to know whether the current stack can support the next stage of growth.
- The business is considering a platform, supplier or integration investment and wants an independent view.
- A platform roadmap exists without clear commercial rules or capability ownership.
- Supplier onboarding, mapping, pricing, distribution or booking exceptions create avoidable manual work.
- The business must choose between building, buying or partnering.
- AI and automation ideas need travel-specific controls and commercial prioritisation.

Travel Spark defines the travel-commercial model, capability design and implementation requirements. It can work alongside internal engineering teams and specialist software partners responsible for the build.

What does a travel technology stack review cover?
It can cover core platforms, supplier and API connectivity, content and mapping, pricing, booking, payments, servicing, distribution, CRM, reporting, data, AI and workflow automation, with priorities shaped by the business model.
Can the work include AI?
Yes. The focus is on commercially valuable uses of AI across supplier onboarding, content, pricing, booking operations and workflow, with explicit controls and accountability.
