GNet Platform
GNet is an Open Distribution Network for ground transportation providers to send and receive reservations electronically. GNet acts as a messenger service that transmits reservations into target reservation systems and keeps these reservations synchronized until trip completion. GNet is a B2B platform interfacing mainly with software companies that service Ground Transportation and Corporate Travel Service providers. Every transportation company is associated with a unique GRiDD ID. This ID identifies the providing company and ensures proper routing to the target back-office reservation system. GNet Platform API services are RESTful.Actors
