Genares employs Pegasus' Next Generation Seamless interface, which gives travel agents real-time access to the hotel's database. GDSs can typically store only a limited number of standard room types and rates, whereas hotel central reservation systems can store literally hundreds of different room types and rates.

Orbitz searches directly for room inventory in from the computer reservation systems (CRSs) or inventory management systems of travel suppliers such as airlines. As such, it searches the entire inventory of available prices simultaneously, rather than retrieving a representative subset.
