Arbitrip

What Arbitrip does

Arbitrip is an AI-powered hotel booking and commercial optimization platform headquartered in Tel Aviv with regional offices in London and Kyiv. Founded in 2015, the company connects inventory across 1.5 million-plus verified properties worldwide into a single decision engine that evaluates price, margin, terms, and operational risk in real time to recommend the commercially optimal choice for each booking. The platform serves four primary customer segments: corporations seeking travel cost reduction and policy enforcement; travel agencies and TMCs pursuing higher commissions and margin control; loyalty programs looking to drive engagement and points utility; and airlines embedding hotel booking into their own apps and websites.

The core product portfolio consists of the Arbitrip Booking Platform plus four vertical modules (Corporate Travel, Travel Agency, Loyalty Program, Airlines), a fully white-label embedding capability with no redirects or affiliate links, and a policy management system with SSO, GDS, CRM, and finance system integrations. The company claims SOC2 and GDPR compliance posture. Reported customer outcomes include up to 40% lower hotel rates than market, 10-12% hotel expense reduction for corporates, 85% of bookers selecting from the top 5 AI recommendations, and—specifically for the Poalim Wonder loyalty deployment—a 36% engagement increase, 2x new credit card activations, and 98% customer satisfaction within six months.

Arbitrip generates revenue primarily through platform licensing to enterprise clients, commission on hotel bookings for travel agency partners, and points redemption management for loyalty programs. The company operates under Talma Shlomo, a global travel solutions group that acquired Arbitrip in August 2022; the brand continues to operate independently. The company claims 1,500+ clients worldwide spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, with a customer logo set that includes Bank Hapoalim (via Poalim Wonder), Taboola, Mobileye, AppsFlyer, Plarium, foodpanda, Gilat Satellite Networks, Via, Nayax, AudioCodes, Innoviz, and GCash. Total disclosed external funding is $4M from the Teddy Sagi Group in 2018, with earlier participation in the Microsoft ScaleUp Tel Aviv program.
