Alturos is working to build an integration between its e-commerce platform, used by 50+ destinations in Europe, and Catalate's Pricing API.
"Our partnership with Catalate was generated from the need for a strong ally in the pricing strategies business," says Gilberto Loacker, President of the board at Alturos Destinations. "Catalate's innovative pricing model and expertise blends perfectly with Alturos Destination OS in terms of e-commerce, offering a full-service solution for our partners."
Following completion of the initial implementation, any user of Alturos' software will be able to seamlessly integrate with Catalate's APIs to offer best-in-class dynamic pricing strategies to their guests. The first implementation is expected to launch in mid-September by a group of Swiss ski resorts.
"As Skitude Group continues to drive digitization in the ski industry, it is important that our portfolio companies build bridges with other leading software providers in the space," says Bent Grøver, CEO. "The strategic direction to build open, flexible platforms that interface with other systems will yield exponentially better tools for our ski area partners, freeing them from the constraints of having to choose one system to meet all of their needs."
Alturos joins Catalate's growing list of platform partners, including direct booking and pricing API integration with RootRez, and international keycard reload integrations with Team Axess and SkiData.
