How does the Wholesale IDS Work?
By granting either a data access to your internal property management system, or a static non-guaranteed allotment, your offer becomes instantly publicized and your inventory results are available to our select distributor affiliate network.
Our affiliates get, rather than searching suppliers individually, available allotments simultaneously. Results are returned in an easy-to-view window, allowing them -and their clients- to choose vacation weeks and half weeks that meet their needs.
Search results include links to your resort information pages -developed by us at no charge to you-, buttons to view additional information regarding units, occupancy rules -among other property rules such as check-in/check-out times- and a customized request button, so that affiliates and their final consumers can interact with the feed in a way that best suits their specific needs.
