B2B hotel distribution marketplace connecting global supply and demand
WebBeds operates a B2B travel marketplace linking hotel suppliers to travel buyers (OTAs, tour operators, corporate travel, DMCs) via API and direct integrations. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (.NET, Azure, Dynamics 365, Power Platform), with recent heavy lifting on Workday deployment and API client onboarding — signals of infrastructure modernization and programmatic distribution scaling. Engineering hiring outpaces sales and product combined, suggesting the company is investing in platform reliability and API stability as core competitive levers.
WebBeds is a public-company B2B travel marketplace with 1,900+ staff across 120+ cities in 50+ countries. Hotels, resorts, apartments, and ground-service providers list inventory; travel buyers (online agencies, retail agents, corporate travel managers, tour operators, wholesalers, destination-management companies, airlines, tourism boards) book accommodation and ground services through WebBeds' API and booking interfaces. The platform provides real-time content management and pricing tools for suppliers, and automated integration for buyers. Distribution complexity and inventory optimization across a fragmented global supply base remain operational priorities.
Primary stack: .NET, C#, NET Core, SQL, Azure (Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus, API Management), Kubernetes. Enterprise tools: Dynamics 365, Workday, Power Platform (Apps, Automate, BI). Also uses AWS Lambda, Python, Go, and Bedrock.
Current priorities: onboarding new API clients, mapping and monitoring API client connections, partner roadmap development, Workday talent optimization deployment, chain inventory pricing optimization, and converting third-party channels to direct business relationships.
