About Aerolex.

Aerolex is a B2B travel company operating between the UK and Bangladesh, serving agents and partners who need fast, accurate bookings. Its operation spans sales, reservations, inventory and accounts, each handled by a different department with its own tools and its own version of the numbers.

The Challenge.

Bookings, inventory and accounts lived in separate tools. Overbookings were common, unused inventory went to waste, and finance reconciled invoices and commissions by hand at the end of every month.

Multi city itineraries, group booking rules and several agents selling the same seats made reservations hard to get right. Every department needed its own access, and none could afford a system that failed while selling.

Growth across two countries made the gaps costly. Partners expected quick answers on availability and price at any hour, while the finance team needed every sale to flow into invoices, commissions and the ledger without being re entered by hand.

When two agents claim the last seat at the same moment, only one booking should win. The system has to decide, not the staff, and it has to decide correctly every time.

Aerolex booking front office and ERP back office

The Solution.

Ontik built one Laravel, MySQL and Redis platform: an OTA front office and an ERP back office sharing a single database. It includes a reservation engine for multi city and group rules, live inventory sync, automated invoicing, commissions and one click monthly reports, and role based access. We tested competing seat claims, then rolled out on AWS in stages with department training.

All Technologies Used.

Laravel PHP MySQL Redis AWS GDS Integration

The Outcome.

Ontik helped Aerolex achieve:

  • Improved operational efficiency by about 25% across departments.
  • Cut overbookings by roughly 20% with live inventory sync.
  • Reduced underused inventory by around 15% through shared visibility.
  • Lowered financial discrepancies by about 15% with automated invoicing.

Ontik replaced disconnected tools with one source of truth, giving Aerolex faster bookings, fuller inventory use and cleaner books.
