A computer-implemented method of managing online bookings for transportation services inventory is provided. The computer-implemented method establishes a channel interface that provides bidirectional communication between at least one server computing device and a vendor computing device. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method stores, via a channel data structure, a channel record for each of a plurality of distribution channels. Additionally, the computer-implemented method receives, from the vendor computing device through the channel interface, a selection, from the plurality of distribution channels, of one or more participant channels for a transportation service. The computer-implemented method also establishes, via the channel data structure, one or more active channel records based upon the one or more participant channels for the transportation service. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method establishes, via the channel data structure, one or more inactive channel records based upon one or more non-participant channels for the transportation service.

Computer-implemented interface for bookings for transportation services

A method of managing inventory allocations includes the step of receiving, in a data processing apparatus, data relating to the sale of items of inventory allocated to respective re-sellers. The date is processed to obtain data relating to sales performance of one or more of the respective re-sellers. The method includes adjusting a price for which inventory allocated to that respective re-seller is to be sold by depending on said data relating to the sales performance of the respective re-sellers and/or re-allocation inventory items from that said respective re-seller to other respective re-sellers. The invention extends to a software product and to a system.

Computer-implemented method for managing inventory allocations

A computer-implemented method of managing online bookings for transportation services inventory is provided. The computer-implemented method links, via a computerized network, each item in the transportation services inventory with one of a plurality of online distributions channels by allocating the item to the respective online distribution channel. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method receives, from each of a plurality of online distribution channels in real time via the computerized network, sale data pertaining to the online bookings for the items in the transportation services inventory allocated to the respective online distribution channel. The computer-implemented method processes the sale data by carrying out calculations to obtain a performance rating for each of the respective online distribution channels. Additionally, the computer-implemented method queries whether the performance rating of each of the respective online distribution channels is greater than a performance rating of other online distribution channels.

Computer-implemented management of bookings for transportation services

There is provided a method of using a central computer system, which has a central relational database, systematically to refresh a distributed database that is distributed over a plurality of distributed computer systems and that includes distributed database fields that are for storing contingent values that are contingent on sporadic interactions between terminal computer systems and the distributed computer systems and that are affiliated with central database fields in the central relational database. The method includes recurrently, at receiving times, receiving contingent values of the distributed database fields from the distributed computer systems. The received contingent values are stored, in the central relational database, in succession with previously received and stored contingent values of the distributed database fields, so that, for each distributed computer system an associated series of successive contingent values is built. The method includes recurrently, at refreshing times and temporally independent of the receiving times, determining fresh initial distribution values for the distributed database fields, based on the successive contingent values for the distributed computer systems and based on required initial distribution conditions. The fresh initial distribution values are distributed to the distributed database fields of the distributed computer systems.
