Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for integrating front-end applications with application program interfaces (APIs) and middleware business services. A front-end application flow, including at least one call to one or more business services flows, and one or more business services flows, each including one or more calls to application program interfaces (APIs), are received at a processor and the processor compiles a complete end-to-end flow that includes the front-end application flow and the one or more business services flows. The complete end-to-end flow is expressed in ordered terms of the one or more business services flows and the one or more calls to the APIs. A projected latency for the complete end-to-end flow is automatically constructed by the processor by totaling response times for each of the one or more calls to the APIs included in the complete end-to-end flow.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for auditing of transactions involving the sale of travel services by an indirect seller. An auditing module receives data defining a transaction proposed by the indirect seller. The module compares a quoted price for the transaction to a correct price for the transaction to determine if there is a pricing discrepancy. If a discrepancy exists, the module classifies the transaction and searches a business rules database maintained by a travel service provider for business rules relevant to the classification. The audit module further queries a historical sales deviation database to retrieve seller history data, and selects the relevant business rule having the best match to the seller history data. The audit module then determines whether to allow or block the transaction, issue a warning, or suggest an Agency Debit Memo based on an action defined by the business rule having the best match.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products that utilize a database of flexible pricing records. A processor may generate data representative of pricing components and may also assigns relationships to the pricing components such that each pricing component is linked by one of the relationships with a different pricing component or with a total price. The pricing components and the total price may form a hierarchal arrangement based upon the relationships. The processor may build a flexible pricing record for the database based on the data representing the pricing components and the relationships.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for interacting with and managing a database that stores discounts. A booking file is received that includes a plurality of data elements. A discount rule is retrieved from a discount rule database. The discount rule is potentially applicable to the itinerary based on the data elements in the booking file. The discount rule is associated with at least one condition, and is valid to price the fare if the at least one condition is satisfied. If the at least one condition is satisfied, a reference corresponding to the discount rule is added to the data elements. A pricing engine is provided with the data elements and prices the fare based on a discount associated with the discount rule.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for pricing a fare for a travel segment. A discount database is maintained that includes a discount associated with a condition. Data elements associated with a booking file are received. The data elements include data identifying a passenger and data regarding the travel segment. In response to the receipt of the data elements, the discount database is automatically accessed to retrieve the condition associated with the discount. The condition is automatically evaluated based on the data elements to determine whether the discount is applicable to price the fare. If the condition is satisfied, the data elements are updated to include a reference related to the discount.
