Travelsoft today announces the acquisition of Afidium by Orchestra, its French entity, further strengthening the group’s offering for French Travel professionals and creating new product synergies between Orchestra, Afidium and the wider Travelsoft ecosystem.
Founded in 2005 by David Faveur and Patrick Rajaud, Afidium is a French software company dedicated to tourism professionals. Its solutions help Travel companies improve productivity, automate operational processes, optimise air revenues, manage reservations across multiple sources and reinforce the quality and reliability of travel bookings.
Afidium’s product portfolio includes solutions covering key areas of the Travel value chain including air fare optimisation, PNR quality control, travel quotes, multi-source air, accommodation and other types of services booking, operational search, customer communication and air inventory management.
The acquisition is driven by the complementarity between Orchestra’s distribution and booking platform and Afidium’s expertise in automation, interoperability and PNR management. Together, they will accelerate product development and deliver enhanced capabilities to clients.
For Orchestra clients, this means access to additional tools in air optimisation and automation. Afidium clients will benefit from greater scale and integration within a broader technology ecosystem.
Afidium will maintain continuity of management and service. David Faveur and Patrick Rajaud will continue to lead the company, ensuring stability for clients and preserving close customer relationships. Teams will remain focused on existing clients while benefiting from the resources of Orchestra and Travelsoft.
Christian Sabbagh, Founder and CEO of Travelsoft, comments: “Afidium is a natural fit for Orchestra and Travelsoft. This combination will accelerate innovation and deliver larger scope solutions to our clients.”
David Faveur and Patrick Rajaud, co-founders of Afidium, add: “Joining Travelsoft allows us to scale our products while maintaining the quality, expertise and responsiveness our clients expect.”
The two companies will progressively develop product synergies and shared innovation roadmaps, with a focus on delivering tangible value to clients.
