Architecture pillar
Offer & Order Migration Architecture
A practical architecture map for moving from PNR, ticket and EMD-centric operations to order-native retailing while legacy PSS, DCS, settlement, and interline processes continue to run.
Shadow PNR
Maintain a lightweight PNR for host and airport interoperability while the commercial source of truth moves toward the order.
Ticket envelope
Issue tickets or EMDs only where settlement, interline, or partner processes still require them, mapping every document back to the order item.
Order timeline
Append change, refund, fulfilment, and payment events to the order rather than losing context across fragmented documents.
