Should I pick Amadeus or sabregds?

For most B2B travel platforms, the answer is both. Amadeus and sabregds carry overlapping but non identical inventory, and the same property is often available at different rates from each. Vervotech lets you integrate both through one API and rate shop across them on every request.

Do Amadeus and sabregds sell the same hotels?

There is significant property overlap between Amadeus and sabregds, especially in global chain and popular OTA inventory. But each has exclusive contracts, region specific coverage, and different rate structures. Vervotech's canonical hotel mapping resolves the overlap so you see one listing per property with rates from every supplier that sells it.

Can I integrate Amadeus and sabregds without Vervotech?

Yes. You would build two separate integrations, maintain two supplier credential sets, parse two response schemas, and reconcile duplicate properties in your own database. Most teams choose Vervotech for the mapping and normalization layer to avoid that maintenance load.

How does Vervotech handle rate differences between Amadeus and sabregds?

Vervotech returns every rate from every connected supplier for a given hotel and room, side by side. You choose the routing logic: cheapest rate, preferred supplier, best margin. Profit Maximizer can also monitor the booking after confirmation and rebook automatically if a lower rate appears on any connected supplier.

What does it cost to integrate Amadeus and sabregds via Vervotech?

Vervotech Hotel Mapping starts at $499 per month and includes the full 400+ supplier network. There are no per supplier integration fees on top of the subscription. Bundle discounts up to 50% apply when you connect multiple products (mapping, content, rate optimization).

How long does integration take?

The 7-day Vervotech free trial gives you sandbox access to every mapped supplier. Most teams go from trial signup to first live booking within days. Direct integration with Amadeus and sabregds separately typically takes weeks to months per supplier.

Does Vervotech expose the raw Amadeus and sabregds responses?

Vervotech returns a normalized canonical response by default, with every rate tagged by source supplier. You can also request raw supplier responses when needed, for example to satisfy contractual reporting requirements.

The middleware option: integrate all of them

Most B2B travel platforms do not pick one supplier and skip the others. They plug in Amadeus, sabregds and let a canonical mapping layer decide which one to book on each request. Vervotech is that layer. Every property across every supplier resolves to one hotel ID at 99.998% mapping accuracy, room types collapse to canonical room IDs, and every rate flows through one REST endpoint. Your booking engine talks to one API instead of 2.

The commercial contracts with Amadeus, sabregds stay with you. Vervotech consumes your supplier credentials and returns the normalized, deduplicated result. Adding a supplier later means flipping a config value, not building another integration.
