eRevMax has completed integration with Despegar, the biggest online travel agency in LATAM. Accommodation providers using eRevMax distribution solutions, RateTiger, RTConnect and LIVE OS platform, will now be able to make Availability, Rate and Inventory (ARI) updates to the channel in real-time. Despegar partner properties will also benefit from eRevMax’s Reservation Delivery service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations booked at the channel directly to the hotel systems (CRS/PMS), thereby eliminating chances of missing reservations or overbookings.
