Our products and services

DerbySoft is dedicated to creating the GDN, the next generation of online hotel distribution infrastructure. It has developed and now operates its core technology, DSwitch, a conduit through which flows the real-time exchange of hotel data and reservations. In contrast to the two traditional hotel switches, DSwitch is flexible and adaptable, has increased functionality and is cost effective for its hotel clients. It was designed to integrate easily with all of the systems used by hotel room buyers and sellers. These include the CRSs of chain hotels; the DerbySoft-developed software modules used by independent hotels (DHotelier) and small chain hotels (DCRS), travel agencies (DAgency), and public or private destination management organizations (DMS); and the XML-based systems of online travel agencies and other distribution channels.
