What Move does
Move is a B2B travel commerce infrastructure company that converts travel intent into bookable transactions through an API-first, AI-native platform. The platform consists of three integrated layers: supply aggregation connecting to 70+ sources (GDS, bedbanks, OTAs, direct contracts) covering 2M+ hotels and global airline inventory; an Agentic AI Packaging Engine that uses natural language intent parsing and trained-on-10+ years-of-operations-data models to construct margin-optimized packages in 240ms; and a Commerce Execution layer for multi-supplier booking orchestration with embedded margin optimization. The company serves tour operators, agency networks, AI trip builders, and embedded commerce partners (SuperApps, Banks, Fintechs, Brands).
Revenue is generated through four complementary mechanisms: platform licensing (multi-year enterprise subscriptions), white-label deployment (licensing), transaction fees per booking, and yield sharing tied to margin optimization performance. Distribution is delivered via direct API access, white-label deployment, the holidayheroes hub for agency/advisor distribution, an advisor app, and embedded commerce integrations. Move's commercial footprint spans offices in Munich (Germany), Lisbon (Portugal), and Raanana (Israel), with executive leadership drawn from Expedia, Amadeus, and Lastminute.com. The company raised $5.5M in September 2023 and operates 51–100 employees, with sub-brands RateCore (hotel intelligence) and holidayheroes (distribution) extending the core platform.

Move competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Duffel: Duffel is a B2B travel API platform that lets travel businesses search, book, and manage flights and hotels from suppliers via a single integration. Direct peer to Move because both target travel companies and developers with API-first infrastructure for booking and distribution, though Duffel historically focused more on flights while Move aggregates across flights, hotels, and experiences.
- TBO Holidays: TBO is a global B2B travel distribution platform connecting travel buyers (agents, tour operators) with suppliers (hotels, airlines) across multiple geographies. Direct peer to Move because both aggregate multi-supplier inventory and serve travel advisors/operators with distribution infrastructure; Move differentiates via AI-powered packaging while TBO focuses on inventory breadth and transaction efficiency.
- TravelgateX: TravelgateX is a B2B connectivity marketplace that connects OTAs, bedbanks, hotels, and travel sellers through standardized APIs. Direct peer to Move as a travel technology marketplace enabling multi-supplier aggregation and distribution, though Move layers AI packaging and margin optimization on top of aggregation.
- RateHawk (Emerging Travel Group): RateHawk is a B2B hotel booking platform offering rates from 2M+ hotels globally to travel agents and corporate clients. Direct peer because both aggregate hotel supply at scale for B2B distribution with price intelligence, though RateHawk focuses specifically on hotel inventory while Move bundles hotels with flights, experiences, and AI-powered packaging.
Broad incumbents
- Travelport+: Travelport (now Travelport+) is a global GDS modernizing its platform with modern APIs for travel retailing. Comparable to Move as a B2B travel infrastructure provider with API access to airlines, hotels, and content; however, Travelport is a large incumbent with broader reach and deeper airline relationships rather than Move's AI-first agentic packaging focus.
- Hotelbeds: Hotelbeds is a leading bedbank and B2B hotel distribution platform providing inventory to tour operators, OTAs, and travel agencies. Both Hotelbeds and Move operate in B2B hotel aggregation, but Hotelbeds is a major supplier in Move's ecosystem while also competing as an aggregator with its own API and pricing intelligence.
- Yanolja (including GoGlobal): Yanolja, through Yanolja GoGlobal, provides cloud-based B2B travel technology and inventory distribution for hotels and the broader travel industry. Comparable as a B2B travel infrastructure provider with global supply aggregation; Yanolja is a much larger incumbent with its own SaaS platform for accommodation suppliers.
- Sabre Corporation: Sabre is one of the world's largest GDS providers and travel technology companies, serving airlines, hotels, agencies, and corporations. Comparable as a broad B2B travel infrastructure incumbent; however, Sabre's distribution model and legacy architecture differ from Move's AI-native, agentic commerce focus.
- Booking.com Connectivity (Partner Solutions): Booking.com Connectivity enables hotels, bedbanks, and channel managers to integrate with Booking.com's accommodation inventory at scale. While a broad incumbent in hotel distribution, Booking.com Connectivity competes with Move's RateCore for hotel aggregation demand, particularly with smaller properties and chains seeking diversified distribution.
Emerging players
- Mystifly: Mystifly is a B2B airfare marketplace and API platform providing flight content from 750+ airlines to travel sellers. Comparable as a B2B travel API platform focused on air content aggregation and distribution, but with narrower product focus than Move's multi-modal (flights, hotels, experiences) approach.
