Not on the executive shortlist
It was not selected for the 28-company executive shortlist.
Why it matters
Scoring rationale
Excellent infrastructure once Shahraah connects several hotel suppliers. MultiCodes provides mature REST mapping/deduplication and daily update workflows, reducing duplicate properties and booking/data errors. It should not be mistaken for inventory.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
High strategic relevance once Shahraah combines multiple hotel suppliers: GIATA can reduce duplicate hotels/room confusion and normalize hotel content. It is infrastructure, not room inventory.
Risks and blockers
Main blocker
Need license pricing/minimum term, startup package, supplier portfolios licensed, storage/cache rights, room-mapping costs, certification support and whether the cost is justified before Shahraah has multi-supplier scale.
Capability and supply
What they offer
GIATA is a Berlin travel-data technology company focused on non-bookable hotel data. MultiCodes assigns a unique GIATA ID across supplier feeds to de-duplicate hotel inventory; GIATA also offers multilingual hotel content, room mapping and hotel content distribution. Public documentation describes REST/XML integration and daily update workflows.
API, from public information
Genuine documented data APIs exist for MultiCodes, Multilingual Hotel Guide and room mapping. MultiCodes is explicitly non-bookable data; no hotel rates or booking rights are supplied by GIATA itself.
Products and services researched
Hotel mapping, de-duplication, multilingual hotel content and room mapping
- API
- Documented REST/XML APIs for MultiCodes and multilingual hotel content; room-mapping API also documented. These are non-bookable data services, not rates/availability/booking inventory.
- Coverage
- Provider documentation covers ~1.39M accommodations / hundreds of supplier mappings; figures are vendor-reported and subject to licensing scope.
- Integration notes
- Highly relevant once Shahraah aggregates multiple hotel suppliers: use GIATA IDs/mapping to merge duplicate properties and normalize display content.
- Follow-up question
- Startup pricing/minimums? Which supplier portfolios are licensed? Pakistan contracting? XML/JSON availability, authentication, storage/caching rights, room mapping fees, certification and support?
Commercial and onboarding
What is known
Public APIs/products and licensing requirement verified; no public Shahraah pricing, minimum contract, Pakistan eligibility or commercial license scope.
Open questions
License modules, minimum fee/term, supplier portfolios, startup plan, storage/cache rights, API/support/certification charges, Pakistan contracting and future scale pricing?
