What Vervotech does for RateHawk

• Canonical hotel IDs. Each RateHawk property resolves to a single Vervotech hotel ID shared with every other connected supplier.
• Room-level mapping. Identical room types from RateHawk collapse with peer suppliers' equivalents into a canonical room ID, so you can shop rates without duplicate inventory.
• Continuous refresh. Static and dynamic RateHawk content is pulled on a recurring cycle, so newly contracted properties enter the mapped catalog without engineering work.
• One REST endpoint. Call RateHawk content through the same Vervotech endpoint that serves the rest of your supplier mix.
• Bedbank deduplication. Where RateHawk overlaps with peer bedbanks on the same property, Vervotech keeps a single canonical record and exposes both rate options under one listing.

How the RateHawk integration works

1. Ingest. Vervotech pulls the RateHawk hotel content feed on a continuous refresh cycle. Both static (hotel attributes) and structural (room and board types) data are captured.
2. Normalize. RateHawk's schema is mapped to a canonical Vervotech model. Currency, language, geocoding, and amenity vocabularies are standardized.
3. Resolve. Every RateHawk property is matched to a canonical Vervotech hotel ID using deterministic rules (address, geocode, name) and ML scoring trained on 3M+ properties.
4. Deduplicate rooms. Equivalent room types from RateHawk are collapsed with peer supplier rooms into a canonical room ID.
5. Expose. RateHawk content is reachable through one Vervotech REST endpoint, mixed with the rest of your supplier inventory.

Example RateHawk response via Vervotech

Vervotech returns RateHawk properties enriched with canonical IDs that match the same property as served by peer suppliers.

Vervotech-mapped RateHawk vs direct RateHawk integration

Typical RateHawk use cases

• OTAs and metasearch: blend RateHawk rates with peer suppliers behind a single property listing, with no duplicates and no schema drift.
• Travel agencies and TMCs: route bookings to RateHawk when its rate wins, fall back to alternates when it does not, all under one mapped catalog.
• Corporate travel: normalize RateHawk content into one travel-policy view across regions and brands.
• Post-booking margin capture: watch RateHawk and peer rates after the original booking and rebook automatically via Vervotech Profit Maximizer when a cheaper rate appears.
