# Integration Models
Understand and compare the Pull and Push models.
Check this document if you are not sure which model fits better to your system
## Pull Model
Used when selling “hotel only” or for dynamic packaging. It is Axis Data's most applied model and main focus of this documentation.
### Workflow
* Partners submit customer searches to Axis Data systems.
* **Search** is high-performance, updated within 7 seconds, and does not access the database.
* Real-time search, quote, book, and cancel messages.
* XML-API offers fast response times:
* **Search**: \~0.1 sec
* **Quote**: \~0.5 sec
### Performance Notes
* **Search/Book Ratio**:
* Must not exceed **20,000:1**
* Target is below **10,000:1**
## Push Model
Used when hotels and transfers are packaged with flights and partners need to **hold rates and availability** in their systems. This model involves **pushing data** in near real-time.
### Workflow
* Rates and availability are pushed to partner systems.
* Partners use this data to respond to customer searches.
* Booking requests are sent to Axis Data systems for confirmation.
* **Quote** is a confirmation step, not suitable for search.
### Notification Formats
* [EDF Notifications](/pushmodel/hotelEDF)
* [OTA Notifications](/pushmodel/hotelOTA)
* [OTDS Notifications](/pushmodel/hotelOTDS)
* [Flatfile Notifications](/pushmodel/hotelFF)
### Performance Notes
* **Quote/Book Ratio**:
* Must not exceed **1000:1**
* **100–1000:1** is a warning zone
## Choosing Between Models
* Depends on partner system and workflow.
* **Pull Model** offers less control over product data but price differences are avoided.
* **Push Model** provides better product management but requires careful quote usage.
