B2B Distribution Software by Bakuun
Bakuun's core product for hotels is the combination of B-Aggregate and B-Marketplace, which together handle distribution connectivity and direct contracting.
B-Aggregate is a channel manager aggregator. Rather than integrating individually with each demand partner, hotels connect through B-Aggregate's single API and gain access to over 230 channel managers and distribution platforms. The product handles real-time rate and availability updates across all connected channels. It supports derived rate plans, length-of-stay pricing, and nationality-based rate targeting through the Extranet 2.0 interface.
B-Marketplace functions as a direct contract platform where hotels and demand partners (OTAs, bedbanks, DMCs, travel agencies) negotiate and manage agreements directly. Real-time rates and inventory are shared without intermediaries, reducing distribution costs. Contract execution is automated.
B-Content uses AI to standardize and map hotel content (descriptions, room types, amenities, photos) across platforms. This reduces listing mismatches and inconsistencies that commonly occur when distributing through multiple channels.
B-Direct is a booking engine that hotels embed on their own website to capture direct bookings without commission. It supports cryptocurrency payments alongside traditional payment methods. The legacy site references four subscription tiers with a free starter plan.
B-Portal, launched in May 2026, is a white-label B2B booking portal designed for hotels that distribute contracted rates to offline travel agencies. It replaces email-based booking confirmation and manual payment reconciliation with a branded self-service platform. B-Portal integrates with Bakuun's embedded bank-to-bank payment network, supports transactions in over 100 currencies, and claims setup in under 72 hours. B-Portal is free with no per-booking fees or revenue share.
Extranet 2.0 provides a unified dashboard with single sign-on across the full product suite, a distribution dashboard for DMCs, a demand-pull API for hotels, and rate intelligence tools.
Integrations: Over 230 channel managers, PMS, and CRS providers. Named integration partners include SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, STAAH, and HBX Group (Hotelbeds). The platform connects with payment providers for cross-border transactions via PayDocker.
