How to extract data and reports on bookings and distribution?

Extracting and analyzing booking data is essential for DMCs to monitor revenue, pricing performance, and TO activity. KOOB offers two main dashboards and export tools to help you access clean, structured data for invoicing, performance analysis, and strategic decisions.

βœ… Track booking trends per Tour Operator (TO)
βœ… Monitor margins and selling prices with precision
βœ… Analyze hotel, experience, and trip performance
βœ… Generate reports for TO invoicing and internal reviews

πŸš€ Objective: Extract and analyze booking data to optimize distribution performance and drive profitability.

 

Accessing the extraction tools in KOOB

KOOB provides two main areas to generate reports depending on the type of booking:

 

🟒 My Bookings (DMC-initiated)

  • Go to Bookings > My Bookings

 

  • Use filters:

    • Search (User name, Internal Booking Reference, ID, Hotel or Experience Name)
    • Booking Period (when the booking was made)

    • Travel Period (check-in/check-out)

    • Typology (Hotels, Experiences)

    • Period (Day, Week, Month)
    • Booking Status (Confirmed, Sent, Cancelled, etc.)

 

  • Click "Extract to CSV" to download the report

πŸ“Œ Use filters before exporting to focus on relevant time periods, product types, or booking statuses.

 

🟦 Clients' Bookings (TO-initiated)

  • Go to Bookings > Clients' Bookings

 

  • Use filters:
    • Booking Period (when the booking was made)
    • Travel Period (check-in/check-out)

    • Typology (Hotels, Experiences)

    • Period (Day, Week, Month)
    • Booking Status (Confirmed, Sent, Cancelled, etc.)

    • Search by TO name, user, or reference

 

  • Click "Extract to CSV" for a complete export

πŸ“Œ This extract includes TO selling prices and applied margins β€” ideal for invoicing.

 

Understanding the report content (CSV extract)

Here’s a breakdown of the main columns included in the export:

Field Description
Booking ID Unique identifier
KOOB User Person who processed the booking
Product Name Hotel or Experience booked
Country / City Destination info
Internal Reference DMC booking reference
Booking Date Date of reservation
Check-in / Check-out Stay dates
Number of Nights Duration
Room Name Room category booked
Bed Composition Configuration (e.g., 1 double + 1 extra bed)
Provider DMC, KOOB or Bedbank
Booking Status Confirmed, Sent, Cancelled, etc.
Last Updated On Latest modification timestamp
Number of Guests Total pax
  Number of Adults   Total adults
  Number of Children   Total children

  Notes 

  Notes/messages sent to the Hotel while        booking

Allotments Allotment used for the booking

πŸ’‘ Promotions and supplements appear as extra columns to reflect pricing variations.

 

πŸ“Š Example

Let’s say your TO books a 3-night hotel stay at $500/night, and you apply a 15% margin:

  • Net DMC Price: $1,500

  • TO Selling Price: $1,725

  • Margin: $225

πŸ“Œ These values appear clearly in the extract, allowing you to invoice your partner TO and track revenue.

 

Viewing booking and distribution data in KOOB dashboards

Instead of downloading a CSV file, you can also monitor key KPIs directly in KOOB.

πŸ“… Booking Dashboard (Bookings > My Bookings or Clients' Bookings)

  • View active or pending bookings

 

  • Track TO performance and revenue

    • Select the display "by Clients"
    • Click the TO name to open the booking report

 

  • Monitor Allotment usage: check Live Inventory vs. On Request

 

  • Filter by status or provider

 

πŸ“ˆ Distribution Dashboard (Settings > Distribution)

  • Check which TOs are connected to your products

  • Monitor trip/hotel/experience performance

  • Adjust margins or pricing per TO directly


More details : 

πŸ’‘ You can prioritize high-performing TOs by offering custom pricing or temporary promotions.

 

Best practices for better reporting

βœ… Run weekly exports to keep your reports up-to-date
βœ… Always filter first to avoid overwhelming datasets
βœ… Compare reports over time to see trends
βœ… Use data in negotiations with TOs and Hotels

πŸ’‘ If an experience is underperforming, you can adjust visibility or update its content and promotions accordingly.

βœ… Understand key fields: price, status, margin, TO name
βœ… Track live bookings via dashboards to avoid unnecessary exports
