Product updates, engineering insights, and tutorials
Pro and above customers can now receive real-time webhooks when a reported mapping error is resolved, or when a duplicate hotel on one of their mappings gets closed. Signed, retried, and idempotent.
Pro Max workspaces can now create autonomous mapping agents that upload inventory, run mapping jobs, propose matches, and chase coverage on a goal you set. With 7-day undo, hard cost caps, and human-in-the-loop defaults.
How to use the hosted Mapping MCP server to give Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other AI agents direct access to hotel inventory uploads, mapping jobs, search, and reporting.
Why hotel property IDs differ across OTAs and GDSs, how to reconcile them, and how to build a reliable property matching pipeline for your travel application.
We're launching mapping.travel to solve one of travel technology's most persistent challenges: connecting hotel data across disparate systems with precision and speed.
A frank comparison of commercial hotel property mapping solutions versus open-source alternatives — cost, accuracy, vendor dependency, and what to look for.
Hotel mapping connects different hotel identifiers across travel systems. Learn why it's essential for OTAs, metasearch engines, and any platform aggregating hotel inventory.
Accurate hotel mapping directly impacts search quality, conversion rates, and user trust. Here's why every OTA should prioritize solving this problem.
Duplicate hotel listings frustrate users, reduce conversion rates, and waste ad spend. Here's why they happen and how to eliminate them.
Discover how accurate hotel mapping transforms messy search results into clean, reliable listings that increase user trust and conversion rates.
Duplicate hotel listings are a persistent problem for OTAs, metasearch engines, and booking platforms. Here's why they're so hard to eliminate and what to do about it.
Hotel data from different suppliers is messy and inconsistent. Learn why normalization is critical for building reliable travel applications and APIs.
