What Retail Core gives you

Every capability a modern airline retail layer needs. Built from the offer-order model up.

Offer-Order IBE

True NDC Level 4 architecture. Dynamic offers per traveller, atomic orders, ONE Order-ready from day one. Offer expiration, repricing, and order servicing all handled natively.

Modular merchandising

Bundle, upsell, cross-sell at any step. Configurable rules engine your revenue team owns the merchandising logic without engineering tickets.

Web, mobile, chat

One offer engine, three storefronts. Native mobile SDKs (iOS, Android, Flutter). Conversational commerce through Adeal (from Care+) and any other channel.

Payment orchestration

Adyen, Stripe, Network International, Tap, MPGS, PayPal, regional wallets. Real currency support across GCC, APAC, LATAM, EU.

Multilingual + multi-currency

12+ languages out of the box. Currency conversion at offer time. Locale-aware merchandising. Right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Hebrew.

AI personalization

Built on Inspire's AI Factory. Personalize offers, bundles, and copy by traveller segment. Privacy-first: airline owns the model, the data, and the prompts.

Fraud & risk

Real-time fraud scoring, 3DS2 by default, chargeback evidence collection. Configurable risk rules per market and per channel.

Headless-first

Every offer-order capability accessible via REST and GraphQL. Use our storefront, build your own, or embed retail into your existing website.

Servicing parity

Customers can change, cancel, reroute, refund across all touchpoints. Voluntary changes, involuntary changes, and Care+ flex rebook all use the same order model.

Built on your PSS, not against it
PSS-additive architecture

Built on your PSS, not against it

Retail Core extends your existing PSS through Retail Connect our middleware adapter layer supporting Amadeus, Sabre, Navitaire, Hitit, Radixx, IBS, Accelya, Collins, and Amelya. Your reservations, schedules, fares, and inventory continue to live where they always have. We layer the modern retail experience on top, surfacing offers your PSS already prices and orders your PSS already creates. No data migration. No fare logic rebuild. No replatform risk.

Checkout & Pay

Modular checkout with split payments, regional wallets, BNPL, points + cash.

Agent-facing UI to read and modify orders. Supports voluntary changes and IROP rebooks (with Care+).

How it's different from rebuilding your IBE

Three things make Retail Core different from a custom IBE build or a PSS-vendor's commerce module.

Weeks, not years

Custom IBE rebuilds take 18-36 months. Retail Core is live in 12-16 weeks because the offer-order model, the PSS adapters, and the storefront are all already built.

Your PSS is the system of record

We don't move fares, schedules, or inventory off your PSS. Lower risk, lower switching cost, faster cutover. Your operations team's runbooks still work.

Your team owns the surface

Headless API + open storefront source. Your engineers extend it. Your designers re-theme it. No vendor lock-in on the experience layer.
