BSPConnect Ltd.

BSPConnect Ltd. is a software company that makes AirConnect, a data tool for airlines and travel agents. The software works with BSP and ARC ticket sales data. It reports flown revenue and tracks air contract performance. The site says airlines and agents around the world use it, and it offers a trial download.

The company explains its history on the about page. Standard BSP data shows only a total for each ticket. BSPConnect expands the standard HOT file with extra data sources, from about ninety fields to more than 800. That gives detail at coupon level, by marketing carrier, operating carrier, flight date, route and originating agent. It also accounts for exchanges and refunds when it reports flown revenue.

AirConnect gives a data warehouse that matches the BSP or ARC exactly, with reporting, contract analysis and dashboards. It calculates flown revenue by marketing carrier and by metal, and it reports contract target performance for each airline. A new feature reports global air business in one currency. A generic airline contract module covers the rules found in contracts around the world, and it forecasts results up to 12 months ahead. Incentive payments can be shared out by originating agent.

The site speaks to airlines, agents, consolidators, travel management companies, NDC teams and marketers. The trial needs a Windows PC, 10GB to 1TB of disk space and at least three months of HOT files. The latest version shown is 5.04j. The company states that all data stays within the customer's own IT environment. The site has an enquiry form with a country list and a sales contact.
