Creator's Key Takeaways
Well, the reality is that flight distribution space has been um operating under very similar models uh GDS flight aggregators for for many years.
We believe that all this data flowing through the network will bring a level of intelligence to everyone participating in the network that will enable them to maybe put together offers that are more um relevant to travelers and therefore that will convert better.
So in a nutshell uh GDN is has the same sort of uh mandate uh facilitating flight distribution but is looking at a network approach decentralized approach rather than a centralized approach.

DerbySoft’s Global Data Network: Decentralizing Flight Distribution with Intelligent Data We interview Stephane Pingaud CCO Flights from DerbySoft at the World Aviation Festival! Stephane unveils the Global Data Network (GDN), a new model designed to revolutionize flight distribution by replacing old, centralized systems like the Global Distribution Systems (GDSs). - Closed Ecosystems: Legacy GDS models are largely closed, requiring legacy airlines to connect only with accredited travel agencies. - Unbalanced Funding: Funding is often unbalanced, where either the airlines or the travel agencies pay. - Limited Insights: Existing models offer very limited data and insight. GDSs also limit an airline's ability to control its offers, personalize products, or access rich customer data during booking. 🌐 DerbySoft's Global Data Network (GDN) Solution: The GDN is a decentralized, API-first network architecture designed to move flight distribution away from centralized systems. - Control & Transparency: Airlines gain control over their distribution and full visibility of traveler information flowing through the network. - Flexibility & Intelligence: Airlines can quickly distribute any product they create. Leveraging the data (an intelligence layer), they can put together more relevant offers that convert better. - Maximum Access & Flexibility: Sellers get maximum access to flight content, regardless of whether they are a traditional travel agency, an OTA, or a modern super app/mobility app. - Optimization: The data intelligence layer helps sellers optimize the offers they receive from suppliers, ensuring offers make sense to their customers. - Network Approach: The GDN enables direct connections between sellers-to-sellers (e.g., wholesalers to OTAs) as well as airlines to sellers. DerbySoft's GDN provides a scalable, reliable, and modern distribution model designed for transparency, flexibility, and intelligence. Hit the like button if you prefer a decentralized system!
