YOUR BENEFIT

Avoid laborious in-house research and matching processes. GIATA MultiCodes uniquely identify accommodation to prevent duplicates and virtually rule out any misclassification. Benefit from our world-beating mapping accuracy of 99.99962%.

Why choose GIATA MultiCodes?

High mapping accuracy
Other suppliers seem to deliver very high mapping accuracy – but the numbers after the decimal point make the difference.
At GIATA, artificial intelligence and manual mapping create the world’s largest property portfolio with the world’s best mapping accuracy.

Example:

Other suppliers have 1,000 mapping errors for every 1,000,000 mappings. By contrast, GIATA has just one mapping error for the same number.

Evaluation of the error and accuracy rate

Size of the hotel portfolio
Other suppliers only include automatically mappable hotels to prevent mapping errors and maintain an artificial semblance of accuracy. As a result, your smaller hotel portfolio often includes only mainstream hotels.
GIATA includes 100% of the hotels from all suppliers in its mapping. Once automated mapping is complete, a mapping team works to map absolutely every single hotel correctly and uniquely – even niche and special products. This creates a much larger hotel portfolio.

Example:

With 1,000,000 mappable codes, other suppliers omit 200,000 hotels which they do not offer. By contrast, GIATA offers the full 1,000,000, so a 100% portfolio. With GIATA, you map long-tail and niche products in addition to the mainstream ones.

Calculate your benefit in 3 seconds

How we calculate your cost benefit

Number of workdays required per month (1 workday = 8 hours) for
  • manual hotel mapping
  • regular updates
  • elimination of mapping errors
  • processing of booking errors
multiplied by the stated hourly rate produce the monthly labour costs per month

Method:
The recommended “workdays”, “Ø booking errors per month” and “Ø costs per mapping error” are based on an internal survey of GIATA clients concerning their average mapping workload. You can overwrite all fields by adding your specific details. The number of booking errors rises with the number of mapping errors. In addition to labour costs, other costs are incurred for rebookings, handling and surcharges for alternative accommodation if the hotels are fully booked. The risk of reputational damage and associated costs rises as well.

GIATA maps your suppliers, accommodations, Supplier Codes and GeoCodes with a mapping accuracy of 99.99962%, based on the full portfolio.
MultiCodes eliminate most mapping errors entirely.
The value corresponds to the number of booking errors per month multiplied by the average cost per booking error.

How we calculated the result

The value equals the cost savings divided by the GIATA MultiCodes fee, i.e. the monetary value of using GIATA MultiCodes instead of doing hotel mapping manually and always keeping it accurate and up-to-date.
