Elkanio Nexus: the supplier extranet for negotiated fares and contracted rates
Load negotiated and private airline fares, consolidator deals and series fares alongside your contracted hotels, transfers and activities, without a developer in the loop. Everything appears beside public supply in Nucleus, Nova, Orbit and the Synapse API, priced per channel.
Your best prices live in spreadsheets
Airline deals arrive as fare sheets, hotel contracts as PDFs. Loading them into legacy systems is slow and technical, so agents quote from memory, private fares go unsold and margin leaks to public prices and aggregators.
Fares and contracts as live inventory
Nexus turns fare sheets and contracts into structured inventory. Product teams load airline fares by carrier, route, class and period, and hotel and ground contracts with their seasons and terms, through an interface or bulk upload. Suppliers can maintain their own. The moment something is loaded, every channel can sell it.
What Nexus does.
Negotiated and private airline fares
Load fares by carrier, route, booking class, travel and sales period, with fare rules, baggage, commission and validity. They return in the same search as GDS, NDC and LCC public fares, marked as yours.
Consolidator, series and group fares
Consolidator deals, series fares and blocked seats held as inventory with release dates and deposits, sold to agents and corporates with the rules you negotiated.
Contracted rates and allotments
Property details, room types, seasonal rates, supplements, policies and media, plus transfers, tours and activities, with allotments, release periods and stop-sales managed to the day.
Native to every channel
Once loaded, fares and rates are sold in Nucleus to your agency network, in Nova to consumers, in Orbit to corporates and through Synapse to API partners, each with its own markup.
Supplier self-service portal
Airlines, consolidators, hoteliers and operators get secure logins to update fares, rates, allotments and stop-sales themselves, with change tracking and approval steps where you want them.
Contract terms as data
Fare rules and validity for flights; cancellation policies, early-bird and long-stay offers, meal plans and blackout dates for hotels. Modelled as terms the booking engine enforces, not notes on a PDF.

What is Elkanio Nexus?
Nexus is a travel supplier extranet and contracting system. It lets you load your own negotiated airline fares and contracted hotel, transfer and activity rates, and distribute them next to GDS, NDC, LCC and aggregator supply.
Can Nexus hold airline fares as well as hotel contracts?
Yes, and for most customers flights are the larger volume. Negotiated, private, consolidator and series fares are loaded by carrier, route, booking class and travel period with fare rules, baggage, commission and validity, and appear in the same search as public GDS, NDC and LCC fares.
Do suppliers need to be technical to use Nexus?
No. Suppliers receive secure logins to manage their own fares, rates, allotments and stop-sales through a web interface; no API integration is required.
Where do Nexus fares and rates appear?
Once loaded, contracted fares and rates are available across your Elkanio products and API feeds, including Nucleus, Nova, Orbit and Synapse, with channel-specific markups.
Can Nexus model complex contract terms?
Yes. For flights: routes, booking classes, travel and sales periods, fare rules, baggage, commission and validity. For hotels: seasons, weekend and event supplements, early-bird and long-stay offers, child and occupancy policies, meal plans, cancellation terms and blackout dates. All modelled as terms the booking engine enforces.
How are allotments and stop-sales handled?
Seat blocks and hotel allotments are tracked per contract with release periods; stop-sales and close-outs can be set by date, flight or room type, with alerts as inventory runs low.
Ready to sell every fare and contract you negotiated?
Bring one airline fare sheet and one hotel contract. We will load both live in the demo and show them selling across the platform.
