Indra and ITA software by Google sign a QPX reseller agreement

Indra has signed a QPX reseller agreement with ITA Software by Google for the provision of pricing and shopping services. This three-year agreement will allow Indra to provide more comprehensive marketing services for airlines.

Indra will integrate the airfare pricing and shopping solutions of the ITA QPX system, a pricing system for searching airfares and additional services used by a number of airlines in the market, in its Booking Engine (Suitair BFM) platform, which will enable airlines to better monitor and control the ticket buying and selling process. The combination of Suitair BFM and QPX is aimed to allow airlines to increase both their profits and direct sales thanks to the marketing of high value-added services, as well as several flight-related services (seat selection, new ways to check in luggage, choosing meals, insurance) and other third party after-landing services will be available (car rental, hotel booking, tickets for events and tourist guides).

This new capability allows Indra to expand its network of potential clients and consolidates its commercial offering in the airline sector.

According to Emilio Mora, Indra Airlines division’s Director, “the agreement with ITA Software by Google improves Indra's experience as an airline industry provider where it has successfully delivered projects for airlines worldwide by supplying systems and solutions that cover all areas of the operating and business cycle including e-Commerce, Digital Strategy, Revenue Accounting, Business Analytics, Application Management, CRM, Loyalty, Applications Management and Outsourcing.”

In a market subject to increasing mobility and the penetration of new, digital channels where users are taking a more active role in trip management, the technology and consulting company is capable of offering outstanding value-added solutions, enhancing airlines' digital presence, and converting their digital channels into competitive, differentiated, sustainable drivers that offer innovative products and services dedicated to enhancing website positioning and customer experience.
