Expanding Reach and Revenue for a Luxury Travel Brand Via Seamless B2B Integration

The Need

A luxury vacation rental platform sought to expand its customer reach and drive business growth by featuring its listings on Hopper, a popular travel booking app. To support this B2B integration, the company needed to:

• Expose its property inventory, pricing, booking, and cancellation APIs
• Implement robust authentication and authorization to protect sensitive customer data
• Ensure high availability and scalability to accommodate fluctuating booking volumes and user activity

Gorilla Logic integrated the client’s APIs with Hopper while ensuring security, performance, and scalability through Azure API Management (APIM). The solution included:

• API Integration with Azure APIM:
  • Inventory Properties API: Delivered property details
  • Pricing API: Provided real-time reservation pricing
  • Booking API: Enabled reservations
  • Cancellation API: Handled booking cancellations
• Developer Enablement:
  • Leveraged APIM’s Developer Portal to provide Hopper engineers with interactive documentation, authentication guidance, and testing tools
• Performance and Reliability:
  • Monitored API usage and health in real time to ensure high availability and proactive issue resolution
