Vayant is stepping up its attempts to muscle in on the world of airfare shopping technology with a major enhancement to the core service.
The company is releasing what it calls version 2.0 of of the platform, promising users of the technology access to faster results and access to more air inventory, on a global scale.
The launch will allow Vayant to further integrate availability results within the flagship OneSearch engine as well as its Microproduct suite.
Vayant claims the enhancements will give online travel agencies and metasearch engines complete real-time availability worldwide, including multi-carrier fares.
The news follows the release in November this year of an Airfare Intelligence tool to give an snapshot of airfares from carriers worldwide.
The company was named (belatedly) by Google in July 2010 as one of the air shopping technology providers in its infamous ecosystem chart.
Vayant has since in March 2011 secured an undisclosed but "substantial" round of funding from existing and principle investor Neveq LP, and Cape Capital.
It also announced a change at the top by appointing former-Fly.com general manager Brian Clark as its new CEO.
