The Parking Spot, an owner and operator of near-airport parking properties, and Travelport announced they have partnered to make The Parking Spot’s inventory of airport parking spaces directly available to travel agents using Travelport Smartpoint.
Once travel agents install The Parking Spot plugin to Travelport Smartpoint, they can select and reserve airport parking during the booking process. The partnership represents the first time a near-airport parking company in the United States has integrated its content with a global distribution system (GDS).
DataArt, a global technology consultancy that designs, develops and supports unique software solutions, built the Travelport plugin specifically for The Parking Spot. DataArt’s other clients include Nasdaq, S&P, Travelport, Ocado, Artnet, Betfair and Apple Leisure Group among others. Organized as a global network of technology services firms, DataArt has over 2,500 professionals in 20 locations in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
The partnership with Travelport is part of The Parking Spot’s mission to be the industry leader in developing technology that enhances the travel experience. The Parking Spot has 38 locations at 21 major U.S. airports.
