See the [page speed revenue calculator](https://infikeytechnologies.com/tools/page-speed-revenue-calculator). 5. **Launch with marketing**: SEO, Google Hotel Ads and metasearch through our [digital marketing team](https://infikeytechnologies.com/services/digital-marketing-seo). ## Frequently asked questions ### Can a direct booking engine compete with Booking.com or MakeMyTrip? It does not need to replace them. A good direct engine with a best-rate guarantee, member perks and fast checkout shifts a share of bookings to your own channel, where you keep the commission and the guest relationship. ### Do you integrate with our channel manager and PMS? Yes. We connect to common channel managers and PMS platforms through their APIs so rates, availability and reservations stay in sync. ### How do you handle GDS or supplier certification? Each supplier runs its own certification process. We start the paperwork in the first sprint and build against test environments while certification runs, so it does not hold up development. ### Is customer card data safe? We use tokenised payments from PCI DSS compliant gateways, so card numbers never touch your servers. ## Related guides - [Hotel booking engine development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/travel-hospitality/hotel-booking-engine): A hotel booking engine lets guests book rooms directly on the hotel website: live availability and rates, room and package selection, add-on... - [Travel booking portal development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/travel-hospitality/travel-booking-portal): A travel booking portal lets customers or agents search and book flights, hotels, holiday packages, transfers and activities from connected... - [Restaurant ordering app development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/travel-hospitality/restaurant-ordering-app): A restaurant ordering app lets customers order for delivery, takeaway or at the table from the restaurant’s own app and website, with menus,... - [E-commerce development company](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/ecommerce): Infikey Technologies builds e-commerce and retail software: D2C websites on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom stacks, multi-vendor marketplaces... - [Real estate software development company](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/real-estate): Infikey Technologies builds real estate software: property management systems, real estate CRMs for developers and brokers, property listing... - [PWA vs native app: which should you build?](https://infikeytechnologies.com/compare/pwa-vs-native-app): A progressive web app (PWA) is a website that can be installed, work offline and send notifications, with no app store needed.
