Challenge
- Diverse Data Structures: Reservations come from a variety of sources (online, agencies, various GDSes), each with different data structures.
- Cross-Channel Synchronization: Changes made in one system must reflect across all related systems instantly.
- Multi-Market Compliance: Each market's unique regulatory needs must be met, adding to the complexity of data handling.
