OTC: the platform behind a £55 million acquisition.

A hotels and holiday pricing system built by four Rubicon engineers that grew from a membership club into one of the most recognisable brands of the dotcom era.

Challenge

Online Travel Corp began as a membership travel club managed through Accelerator. As OTC evolved from membership club to online travel platform, it needed a hotels and holiday pricing and availability system.

Delivery

A search and comparison platform aggregating data from multiple hotel and holiday providers. The system enabled customers to find and compare options, with providers able to offer special pricing.
