This is the story of a partnership, built on the Rapid Lodging API since 2020, that delivered record-setting growth for ZentrumHub and the travel businesses it powers.

The Challenge

ZentrumHub is a trusted technology partner to Fortune 500 companies and travel businesses worldwide — global travel agencies, online travel agencies, and travel management companies. To deliver on its vision of simplifying the complexities of the travel ecosystem, ZentrumHub needed:

What ZentrumHub Needed

  • Search, shop, book, and post-book capabilities to deliver best-in-class traveler experiences

The integration unlocked competitive rates at over 800,000 properties across 220 countries and territories, with capabilities spanning the full booking journey:

Search, Shop & Book

  • Typeahead API — faster, more accurate destination and property suggestions
  • Relevancy-ranked shopping — personalized property recommendations for each client
  • Hold and Resume — locks in room prices while travelers complete payment

Service-Led Post-Booking

  • Hard Change API — modify bookings without cancelling the whole reservation
  • Property Message Center — structured communication between properties and clients

Real-Time Operations
