TMCs
NDC for TMCs that still need agent control
TMCs need NDC content without losing servicing discipline, policy visibility, corporate fare handling, and agent productivity. NDCTerm is built around the operational side of airline NDC.
Corporate travel needs more than shopping
TMCs care about policy, account codes, traveler communication, duty-of-care context, refunds, exchanges, and consistent servicing. NDC has to fit that workflow.
| TMC workflow | Why it matters | NDCTerm approach |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate fares | Account codes and agreements depend on carrier setup. | WP/AC*CORP123 style pricing |
| Policy review | Agents need to understand fare brand and service differences. | Structured offer comparison |
| Servicing | Changes and refunds must be controlled and auditable. | Quote-before-confirm workflows |
| Automation | Contact-center work can benefit from AI with approval gates. | AI can draft and request approval |

What agents should expect
Policy-aware comparison
Fare brands, bags, changes, and services need to be visible before the booking decision.
Corporate fare realism
Private content depends on carrier agreements and agency credentials, not a universal switch.
Controlled servicing
Refunds, changes, voids, and splits should expose the airline quote before commit.
Automation-ready primitives
The same commands that agents use can support supervised AI workflows for repetitive servicing.
