if you’re a fan of fast, comfortable, and eco-friendly travel across Europe, you’ll love the news we have for you today. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make the booking experience of international train tickets quick, simple, stress-free and crystal clear.
robust technology behind seamless booking
For a booking to work as it should, the underlying technology should be robust. That is why, from now on, we will be hosting the Intercity Brussels-Amsterdam content on S3, the inventory system of our partner Sqills.
Our partnership with Sqills has been pivotal in bringing this cutting-edge solution to life. S3 of Sqills not only meets European standards but also provides a secure and stable environment for future innovations. Rest assured, the technical side of booking train tickets is in safe hands.
seamless integration thanks to OSDM
S3 seamlessly integrates with the benerail and distributor’s sales tools. This comes as no surprise, as the integration between the S3 inventory system and our distribution platforms is based on the new OSDM (Open Sales and Distribution Model) standard. This standard enables all ticketing stakeholders to have common procedures, reducing distribution costs for retailers, distributors, and carriers. Want to know more about OSDM?

“We are really proud of the go live with benerail. Not only does it empower passenger transport operators and increase options for passengers, it marks a significant leap forward as the inaugural OSDM implementation running in production. We will continue to support this industry standard and look forward to an increasingly connected future.”
