SKO 02/03/2015 08:30 GENERAL NOT PRICE SENSITIVE REL: 0830 HRS Serko Limited GENERAL: SKO: Serko Launches Serko Mobile App Market Release 2 March 2015 Serko Launches Serko Mobile App Serko Limited (NZX:SKO), the Australasian leader in online travel booking and expense management for business, announced the launch of Serko Mobile; the first purpose-built mobile app that allows business travellers to make real-time changes to their travel plans using their mobile devices while still adhering to their companies' travel policies. "Travel can be a hassle and a distraction for the business traveller, especially when unplanned events require travel agents or corporate travel administrators to get involved. Serko Mobile empowers the business traveller to respond to changing circumstances with ease, when it suits them, wherever they are, so they can get to where they need to go, while staying safe and productive" says Darrin Grafton, Serko CEO. Existing travel apps allow users to simply see their itineraries, while airline apps enable the traveller to make flight changes, but only if the booking has been made directly with them. Serko Mobile is unique because travellers can change their flights on multiple airlines, and change their hotels booked through Serko Online, all on the one app and all within the environment of their company's managed travel policy. With Serko Mobile business travellers can: o Change their flight and hotel reservations themselves with ease o Receive GPS linked airport travel time alerts, with prompts to make flight changes (if required) o View detailed travel itineraries online or offline, right down to baggage allowances, seating, Wi-Fi and power access o Receive real-time alerts on flight delays and gate changes o Reserve seating on planes, anywhere in the world o Access contextual maps, directions and local travel information o Access City Safe content that keeps the traveller informed and helps corporations meet their health and safety obligations o Secure information with PIN protection or fingerprint scanner (iPhone only) "The ability for a business traveller to make changes to flights, while in a meeting, without having to talk to anyone, is really powerful and differentiates Serko Mobile from all the other travel apps out there. This feature alone, will transform the way business travel is managed by enabling the traveller to be more flexible and productive, and reducing managed travel costs for businesses", added Grafton. Serko Mobile is available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play stores immediately. It is relevant to all corporate travellers who have booked a trip via Serko Online. The app is free to download and will be free to use until May 2015 at which point certain features of the app will become chargeable.
