What typically becomes difficult
Global metrics are comparable only through manual reconciliation.
Security and approvals receive different data states by region.
Every new provider creates more point-to-point interfaces.
Solution · Multi-TMC
Multiple TMCs. One controlled travel data foundation.
NP4 brings travel data from multiple regional or global TMCs and booking channels together. Reporting, security and other downstream processes receive a shared foundation instead of reconciling each provider separately. TD pool performs the consolidation.
Situation
When global travel programmes have grown regionally
International companies often work with several TMCs, GDS environments, OBTs and direct sources. Each source has its own structures, timings and data scope. TD pool consolidates this travel data for the shared data foundation within the Travel Data Suite.
NP4
NP4's role
TD pool consolidates travel data. TD hub distributes defined fields, while TD chart, TD care, TD go and TD doc each use the view required for their purpose.
Approach
From a clear scope to dependable operations.
Inventory sources
Map current TMCs, channels, data formats and responsibilities together.
Unify data
Consolidate journey components and add the required enterprise context.
Define views
Specify the fields and updates required by each enterprise function.
Connect additional sources
Add providers to the shared foundation without rebuilding every downstream process.

Enterprise questions
Must every TMC deliver the same format?
No. Normalisation is defined for each available source and interface.
Does NP4 replace existing TMCs?
No. TMCs remain part of the landscape; NP4 makes their data usable together for defined enterprise processes.
Which integrations are available?
That depends on provider, contract, region and technical access. The specific connector matrix is clarified for each project.
