Elkanio Nucleus: the B2B travel booking platform for agency networks
Build, manage and scale your agency network. Nucleus gives a master agency a branded portal to distribute flights, hotels, activities, insurance, visa, cab, bus, ferry and cruise to sub-agents and corporate clients, with markup and credit control at every tier.
Distribution is an administrative burden
Distributing travel content to hundreds of sub-agencies means juggling different credit limits, layered markups, supplier incentives and ledgers that never quite match. Most B2B portal software was built for one agency, not a network.
The Nucleus hierarchy engine
Nucleus is built around a multi-tier architecture. The master agency distributes inventory to B2B, B2B2B and corporate sub-agents through a fast, branded portal, with credit managed automatically and a rules engine that prices every segment for every tier.
What Nucleus does.
Markup & rules engine
Set markup rules by airline, cabin, destination, supplier, product or agency tier. Percentage or flat, per currency, with effective dates. Sub-agencies add their own markup within limits you set.
360° agency management
White-labelled dashboards for your distributors with their own users, branding and reports. Rules, prices and credit cascade down the chain; each tier sees only its own network.
Global inventory dashboard
Agents search GDS, NDC and LCC flights, bedbank and contracted hotels, cabs and every other vertical on one screen, with results filterable by supplier and commission.
Credit, deposits & wallets
Credit limits, floating deposits and prepaid wallets per agency. Bookings draw on the balance live, low-balance alerts go out automatically and access follows the payment status held in Vector.
Roles, queues & approvals
Roles and permissions for owners, supervisors and counter staff. High-value or over-limit bookings can be held in a queue for approval before ticketing.
Statements & sales reports
Sales, ledger and commission statements per agency and per tier, scheduled or on demand, using the same numbers Vector reconciles and Cortex analyses.

What is Elkanio Nucleus?
Nucleus is a B2B travel booking platform for agencies, consolidators and TMCs. It gives a master agency a branded portal to distribute flights, hotels and other verticals to sub-agents and corporate clients, with markup rules, credit limits and wallets managed centrally.
Does Nucleus support multi-tier sub-agent hierarchies?
Yes. Nucleus is built around a multi-tier architecture: master agency, sub-agencies, sub-sub-agencies and corporate accounts, each with their own credit, deposits, markups and reporting.
Can Nucleus be white-labelled on our own domain?
Yes. Portals run under your brand, colours and domain. Sub-agencies can also receive white-labelled dashboards of their own.
How are markups and commissions controlled in Nucleus?
A rules engine prices every segment per tier. Rules can be set by supplier, airline, cabin, destination, product or agency, as a percentage or flat amount, per currency and with effective dates, and sub-agencies can add their own markup on top within limits you set.
How does Nucleus handle credit and payments for sub-agents?
Each agency has a credit limit, deposits and a prepaid wallet. Bookings draw on the balance in real time, low-balance alerts go out automatically, and access is restored as soon as a payment is recorded in Vector.
