Amadeus has signed a major agreement with international corporate services company, Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) to become HRG’s primary GDS partner in Switzerland, Austria and Lichtenstein. Amadeus will provide HRG with the latest version of Amadeus Selling Platform with full integration into the company’s “best practice” business processes.
Already a user of Amadeus Agency Manager in these markets, HRG will switch to Amadeus without any disruption to its business. “We are delighted to expand our business with Amadeus, who have over the years proved to be valuable and effective partners to our global expansion” says Bill Brindle, Business Technology and Distribution Director, HRG.
This announcement marks a significant expansion in collaboration between the two companies. HRG uses Amadeus Selling Platform to help its consultants concentrate on serving their clients and Amadeus’ distribution system to make bookings across Europe. By using Amadeus Agency Manager across several European markets, HRG has automated 80-90% of invoicing, ensuring that data used by the back-office accounting systems is clean and accurate.
HRG offers a comprehensive range of corporate services including Corporate Travel Management, Consulting, Expense Management, Events & Meetings Management and Sports.
