Lixto Metasearch

High IT costs associated with frequent changes in product offerings have forced travel agents and online travel resellers to carefully select a few preferred business partners. This selection comes at the expense of the quality of service provided to the end-customer. Given the size, breadth and depth of the travel market, consolidating the offers of thousands of service providers has simply not been feasible until now.

Customers, on the other hand, want a complete overview of all available booking options consolidated in one consumer-friendly user interface. The search results have to be relevant to the customer's need and they have to be delivered fast. 

Lixto's patended technology enables such consumer-oriented services. Lixto Metasearch empowers the user to search across all offerings on the websites of all connected providers at the same time using a single query. The search is performed in real-time and the search results are aggregated to best match the user's needs. Within the search result, users can perform sorting and filtering actions to retrieve the optimal buying option.

Lixto Metasearch enables:

  • Choosing the best transportation, accommodation and destination services, based on the consumer's preferences
  • Users can stay on one website from searching to booking
  • Quickly adding and removing service providers
  • Easy integration of new services via XML interfaces
