Question 1

What does Provab do?

Accepted Answer

Provab Technosoft is an India-based travel technology company that provides B2B travel portal solutions and APIs to travel agencies and OTAs worldwide, with a significant presence in African markets including Nigeria. Provab offers a full-stack travel technology platform covering flight, hotel, car rental, and tour booking with both white-label portal products and raw API access that can be integrated into custom travel applications.

The Provab B2B travel portal platform enables Nigerian travel agencies to offer online booking capabilities to their corporate and individual clients through branded web portals. The platform connects to GDS systems for flight content, hotel bedbanks for accommodation inventory, and tour operator systems for package holiday products. Travel agents can manage bookings, generate quotations, process payments, and access reporting through the back-office management interface, significantly reducing the administrative overhead of running a travel agency compared to manual processes.

Flight booking through Provab connects to Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport GDS systems, providing access to international airline content for routes from Nigerian gateways. The flight module handles search, pricing, booking, ticketing, and post-booking management for both domestic Nigerian routes and international itineraries. Multiple fare classes, fare rules, and ancillary service options are presented to agents making bookings on behalf of clients.

Hotel content through Provab covers global accommodation inventory from both GDS hotel content and specialized hotel bedbank suppliers. Nigerian travel agencies arranging international trips for corporate clients benefit from competitive hotel rates available through Provab's wholesale supplier agreements. The hotel module supports pre-bookable rooms with and without meals, instant confirmation, and cancellation handling.

Package holiday creation tools allow Nigerian tour operators to combine flights, hotels, transfers, and activities into custom holiday packages with bundled pricing. The package quotation system generates professional proposals for clients, supporting the consultative selling approach used by Nigerian full-service travel agencies for high-value leisure and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travel.

The API integration path enables Nigerian technology companies and travel aggregators to access Provab's travel content and booking capabilities within their own custom applications. The API documentation covers search, pricing, booking, and management operations, with integration support available from Provab's technical team. This flexibility supports a range of integration scenarios from simple flight search widgets embedded in Nigerian business websites to fully custom travel booking applications.

Provab has worked with African travel businesses across multiple countries and has adapted its platform to address African-specific requirements including multi-currency pricing with relevant African currency support, payment gateway integrations compatible with African payment methods, and user experience considerations for African markets. This regional experience makes Provab a relevant technology partner for Nigerian travel businesses evaluating B2B travel technology solutions that understand the African market context. The platform has evolved to serve not just travel agencies but also corporate travel managers, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) operators, and travel technology companies building custom tools for the Nigerian market. With Nigeria's corporate travel sector growing as more multinationals establish Nigerian operations and Nigerian companies expand internationally, platforms like Provab that understand both global inventory requirements and African market nuances are well-positioned to serve the expanding professional travel technology market.
