Market Release
18 September 2014
Integration With AirPlus Automates Travel Expense Reconciliation Process for
Serko Incharge Customers
Serko Limited (NZX:SKO), a leader in online travel booking and expense
management for business, announced today that Serko Incharge customers can
now get direct access to AirPlus transaction information from inside Serko
Incharge, thus streamlining the expense reconciliation process.
AirPlus International is a leading global provider of business travel payment
and analysis solutions to over 41,000 clients, processing 145 million
transactions per annum.
Darrin Grafton, Serko's chief executive officer said "AirPlus is already an
established form of payment for our Serko Online customers, so it's only
natural for us to want to give Serko Incharge customers direct access to
their AirPlus transactions.
By allowing travellers' AirPlus transaction data to flow directly into Serko
Incharge in precisely the right format we reduce the friction in the expense
reconciliation process, which we know helps Incharge customers save both time
and money, as well as reducing a lot of the errors that are inevitably
introduced when users rekey data."
David Newington, AirPlus Australia Company Manager says "the Serko Incharge
partnership is important for AirPlus. It offers our clients the opportunity
to effortlessly integrate with Australasia's leading online expense
management system and positions AirPlus competitively with major credit cards
as a favorable form of payment for business travel."
The data feed is available immediately for Incharge customers who already use
AirPlus.
