The Travelport Problem
You're paying GDS fees to sell travel you barely control
Travelport was built for a world where travel agencies were passive ticket desks wired into a single global distribution pipe. That world no longer reflects how travelers book or how agencies grow. Every segment carries a per-booking charge that erodes margins before a single euro hits your account. Customising the customer experience is virtually impossible — you display what the GDS serves, in the format the GDS permits. Your brand is invisible, your data is locked inside a system you don't own, and switching costs feel engineered to keep you from ever leaving. When you want to add Umrah packages, dynamic hotel bundles or an AI-driven upsell flow, Travelport simply has no answer. Agencies that outgrow the GDS model need a platform that treats distribution as a product they own, not a utility they rent by the segment.

Why Ogilio
Why agencies switch to Ogilio
check_circleMargin recovery from day one
Eliminating per-segment fees restores 8–15% of revenue that GDS billing was silently absorbing. That recovery alone typically justifies the migration within the first billing quarter.
check_circleDeployment speed that GDS integrations cannot match
Ogilio's modular SaaS architecture means a fully operational white-label OTA can be live in weeks, not the six-to-twelve month integration cycles typical of GDS platform overhauls.
check_circleA platform that grows with specialist niches
Travelport has no roadmap for Umrah, no dynamic packaging engine, no AI upsell layer. Ogilio was designed for the full spectrum of modern travel retail, including segments the GDS duopoly ignores.
check_circleContractual simplicity and exit freedom
Ogilio operates on transparent SaaS terms without multi-year lock-ins or punitive exit clauses. You keep your data, your customer relationships and your brand equity regardless of what comes next.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Looking for a Travelport alternative? Ogilio is the modern SaaS platform giving travel agencies full OTA control without GDS lock-in or per-segment fees.
Yes. Ogilio connects to NDC content from major carriers, LCC direct APIs and flight aggregators, covering the vast majority of bookable inventory without requiring a Travelport subscription. For agencies that still need legacy PNR access for specific markets, hybrid configurations are possible during the transition period.
A standard deployment with flight search, hotel booking and a branded storefront typically goes live in three to six weeks. More complex configurations — multi-agency networks, custom payment gateways or Umrah modules — are usually complete within eight to twelve weeks.
No. Ogilio uses flat monthly SaaS pricing. There are no per-segment, per-booking or per-PNR fees. Your cost structure stays constant regardless of booking volume, which is the core financial reason most agencies switch.
Historical booking data can be exported from Travelport and imported into Ogilio's CRM before your go-live date. Active PNRs are managed through a parallel-run period so no live booking is disrupted during the cutover.
Ogilio's pricing tiers are designed for agencies from 2-person boutique operations to regional OTAs processing tens of thousands of bookings per month. The platform scales technically and commercially, so you do not pay enterprise pricing until you reach enterprise volume.
Yes. Ogilio includes a dedicated Umrah management module covering group quota allocation, pilgrim CRM, visa document tracking, hotel proximity filters for Mecca and Medina, and integrated payment scheduling for instalment-based sales — none of which exists natively in Travelport.
In most cases, yes. Ogilio's API layer is designed to connect to supplier systems your agency already has contracts with — bed banks, consolidators, car rental APIs — alongside its native NDC and hotel content. You do not need to renegotiate supplier relationships to migrate.
All plans include a dedicated onboarding specialist for the migration period, technical integration support and access to a named account manager post-launch. Enterprise plans include SLA-backed response times and priority escalation channels.
Your Travelport contract will renew. Make sure it's the last one.
