DerbySoft teams up with CTM to benefit business travellers

Partnership to deliver smarter hotel connectivity

High-performance connectivity and distribution solutions travel company, DerbySoft, has formed a partnership with Corporate Travel Management (CTM) to power real-time hotel connectivity.

This will be achieved within CTM’s Sleep Space platform, enhancing the corporate hotel booking and post-booking experience.

At the centre of this collaboration is the integration of CTM’s Sleep Space hotel commerce platform with DerbySoft’s Business Travel Solutions, delivering live access to rates, availability, and content from major global hotel brands. 

This connection significantly improves data quality, personalization, and booking efficiency for CTM clients and hotel partners alike.

Through DerbySoft’s platform, Sleep Space now connects directly to hotel systems, ensuring complete structured data and a smoother traveller experience. 

Hotel partners can deliver richer content, dynamic rates, and loyalty features to CTM clients, laying the foundation for deeper personalization in an increasingly AI-driven era.

“Business travelers expect the same, if not better, seamless experience they enjoy in leisure travel,” said Marwan Batrouni, SVP global hotel strategy at CTM.

“Partnering with DerbySoft allows us to directly connect and surface more hotel content in real time, giving travellers access to better rates and ensuring a smoother, more personalized booking journey. 

“This partnership strengthens collaboration with our hotel partners, helping them grow market share and strengthen customer loyalty.”

As business travel continues its strong recovery, which GBTA projects to reach $1.5 trillion globally by 2027, both companies see this as a pivotal moment to modernize an industry still constrained by legacy systems and fragmented distribution. 

The integration enhances accuracy, streamlines reconciliation, and establishes a solid foundation for automation and personalization across the corporate travel ecosystem.

“This collaboration gives both TMCs and hotel chains the foundation to compete, grow, and better serve the modern traveller,” said Nadim El Manawy, head of business travel solutions at DerbySoft. 

“With modern infrastructure and high-quality data exchange, we’re setting the stage for the next generation of intelligent, automated, and traveller-centric business travel.”

CTM and DerbySoft are already live with several global hotel brands and plan to expand the collaboration to additional partners in 2026, aligning their innovation efforts to meet evolving traveller expectations and corporate program goals.
