# Overview

Adrasis Console is the agency hub for accommodation supply, pricing, contracts and distribution. It brings hotel and supplier inventory into one operating view, lets your team curate and price it, then publishes it to the booking channels you work with.

This page explains where Adrasis fits, why agencies need a different operating model from hotel-only tools, and how supply moves from source to sale.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Built for the agency side.** Hotel distribution tools usually start from one property or one chain. Adrasis starts from the agency workflow: many suppliers, many contracts, many selling channels, one team accountable for the outcome.

| **Booking channels** | Where travellers and partners search, compare and book.                        | Online travel agencies, metasearch engines, B2B partners, superapps, niche channels |

The hotel side already has mature tools for sending rates and inventory from one property or chain to many booking channels. The agency side has a different job: collect supply from many sources, combine contracts and markups, curate content, then sell the result through many channels.

Adrasis Console is the agency hub for that job.

## Why the agency angle is its own job

Hotel-side tools were built around one supply unit sending rates out to many channels. An agency works the other way around: it pulls supply *in* from many sources before sending it back out.

* **Multiple contracts at once.** A single Istanbul property might come to you through three sources — a direct contract for May–June, a bedbank for July–August, a regional supplier for the rest of the year. You sell *one* room; the platform tracks which contract is behind every cell.
* **Markups, packaging, and curation** sit on top of raw supply. *Buy room-only at 80 EUR, sell breakfast-included at 95 EUR* is one operator action.
* **One shared catalog view** keeps supplier variations under control. *Deluxe Sea View* from one supplier and *Superior Sea-Facing Double* from another can resolve to the same room, so a traveller sees one clean listing instead of two near-duplicates.
* **Distribution is part of the agency job.** Your agency can sell curated supply onward to partners, not only resell what it receives.

Building these workflows on top of a hotel-only tool leaves the agency stitching the gaps. Adrasis assumes the agency workflow from the first screen.

## How supply flows through Adrasis

<figure><img src="/files/C4ZtxHJoaeWdG9cnLWR9" alt="Supply sources and channel managers feed Adrasis, which distributes curated inventory to booking channels"><figcaption><p>Supply comes from properties, suppliers and channel managers, lands in one shared operating view, gets curated and priced, then reaches the booking channels you choose.</p></figcaption></figure>

* **Supply intake** brings in property, room, rate and inventory data from direct contracts, suppliers and channel managers.
* **Mapping and curation** reconcile supplier-specific rooms, attributes and meal plans into the catalog your operators work with.
* **Pricing, availability and contracts** are managed centrally, with the commercial terms behind each date and room kept visible.
* **Distribution** sends the approved catalog, rates and inventory to the channels you choose.

***

## Supplier and distributor at the same time

Adrasis Console is not only a reseller workspace. The agency running it can also act as a supplier to other buyers:

* **As distributor** — you send curated supply to online travel agencies, metasearch engines, B2B partners, superapps and niche channels.
* **As supplier** — you expose your own shelf to other agencies and B2B buyers.

Every commercial decision — a 12% markup on a contract, a 7-day allotment release, a non-refundable policy on the *Member Saver* plan, an audience rule limiting a fare to logged-in users — is set once and applied wherever that product is sold.
