Travel software development builds the systems that power booking, inventory, distribution, and operations for travel businesses. The work covers booking engines, GDS and CRS integration, property management systems, channel managers, OTA platforms, corporate travel portals, and mobile traveller apps. Travel companies hire travel software development partners to launch new platforms, modernize legacy systems, or integrate distribution networks for inventory reach.
Custom booking engines on Node.js or Java, with availability caching in Redis, currency conversion via Open Exchange Rates, and fare rules cached at the edge. Search responses stay under 800 milliseconds on warm cache. Dynamic packaging combines flight, hotel, and car into one cart with one payment authorization.
Integration with Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, Hotelbeds, and Expedia Affiliate Network. We handle SOAP for legacy endpoints, REST for newer APIs, and a normalization layer so your front end speaks one schema across suppliers. Failover routing keeps lookups healthy when a GDS session drops mid-search.
Room inventory, rate management, and channel management built on Postgres with event-driven sync to Booking.com, Expedia, and Agoda through SiteMinder or direct connect. Night audit jobs run on AWS Lambda with retry queues, and folio data feeds your accounting system on a nightly cycle.
Multi-supplier, multi-currency, and multi-language portals on React and Next.js. Server-side rendering keeps SEO healthy across destination pages. We integrate Stripe, Adyen, and Razorpay so checkout works in every launch market. Loyalty, vouchers, and split payments sit on top of the same payment layer.
B2B corporate travel platforms with policy engines, approval flows, and expense integration into SAP Concur, Expensify, and Zoho. Travelers see one itinerary across flight, hotel, ground transport, and meeting calendar. Duty of care tracking exposes traveler location to security teams on demand.
Native iOS and Android, plus React Native where the team prefers one codebase. We add offline maps with Mapbox, push notifications for flight changes, and Apple Wallet or Google Wallet passes for boarding cards and hotel keys. Deep links route email and SMS traffic straight into the booking screen.
Workshops with your product, operations, and supplier teams. We document the booking funnel, integration set, traffic pattern, and the metrics your board tracks.
We map every supplier connection, cache layer, payment route, and audit log. Output is a build plan with signed acceptance criteria.
Two-week sprints, demo every Friday, code in your repository from day one. Engineering managers run standups so your product owner can focus.
Load testing at peak-season volume, security review, GDS failover drills, and runbook handover. Take the system in-house or keep a maintenance retainer.
Rate transparency. Hourly $13 to $25. Monthly $1,200 to $4,000. No retainer markup.
13+ years of travel software experience across OTAs, hotel chains, and corporate travel platforms.
GDS integration expertise across Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport, plus bedbanks and channel managers.
IP transfer day one. Code, infrastructure, and credentials sit in your accounts from the start.
Engineering managers run delivery. You get one accountable lead, not a rotating cast of project managers.
Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, and Hotelbeds integration history is non-negotiable for B2C OTAs.
Hotel chains require channel manager experience and live inventory sync.
PCI DSS handling and 3D Secure 2.0 implementation should be standard.
Live conversion and locale handling must work from day one.
Travellers move through low-connectivity areas. Apps that fail offline lose users.
Booking engines see peak-season spikes 4 to 8x baseline. Caching strategy matters.
Travel APIs evolve frequently. Documentation discipline predicts long-term maintenance cost.
A standing team of engineers, QA, and an engineering manager. Best when the roadmap runs longer than 12 weeks and the supplier set keeps growing.
Defined scope and a fixed price. Best for a first booking engine, a single GDS connection, or a property management system replacement.
Taking over a stuck build. We audit the codebase, the supplier contracts, and the data model, then ship a recovery plan inside two weeks.
The stack choices below are the ones we ship most often. We adapt to your existing estate where it makes sense.

I looked around at several developers to compare costs, but they didn’t fit within my budget. Finally, I reached out to a company in India called ScalaCode. We set up several online meetings over a couple of weeks and came up with an app that did exactly what I wanted within my budget. I can confidently say that ScalaCode has been an excellent choice for me.

Manuel
CEO, 4SaleThe application was basically built from scratch, and was complicated, as the software was to be integrated with a certain Medical EHR software. As the CEO of SHG, I was very pleased with the services, expertise, and support we received from ScalaCode, from the beginning directly through the first LIVE implementation.
