About the team

The Triometric team at OTA Insight maintains and develops a pipeline of real time data to give valuable insights into the health and performance of our customers' business and technology infrastructure. Its mission is to reliably monitor, transform, aggregate and store real time search and booking data that powers our deep analysis BI product - Triometric. We are able to consume data from a number of inputs, from piecing together TCP packets or ingesting messages from a kafka queue. Some installations monitor up to 3 billion transactions a day to be reported on in near real time, sometimes as little as 2 minutes behind the transaction occurring. This reporting is integral to the running of our customers' business to be able to spot real time issues as well as plan for the future in terms of marketing, rates and inventory. The team works in close collaboration with our Product team, as well as a highly talented group of software engineers, devops engineers, and project managers to drive initiatives forward.

Today we process billions of data points containing hotels' pricing information, search data, hotel bookings, etc. All of that using modern technologies. Being a growth company enables us to regularly attract new and interesting datasets, which can unlock new product directions.
