Serko, HRS join up to enhance corporate hotel programme

Serko, an integrated online travel and expense management solution provider for businesses, has announced a new strategic partnership with HRS Global Hotel Solutions.

The partnership gives Serko customers the ability to book their own negotiated rates and HRS’ exclusive corporate discounted rates through both Serko Online and serko.travel platforms. As well, Serko clients can utilise HRS’ array of end-to-end service offerings to optimise their hotel programmes. HRS’ digital payment and integrated meetings management solutions are also available to Serko’s clients via this partnership.

Furthermore, the agreement enables Serko to further extend its offering of global hotel content, making it one of the single largest hotel metasearch platforms for corporate programmes. Currently, HRS’ global inventory includes 350,000 corporate-relevant hotels – 210,000 of which are independent properties.

Darrin Grafton, Serko’s CEO, said: “Working with HRS lays another major foundation for Serko to expand outside of Australasia. We see this as more than just a hotel content partnership but a strategic initiative that will bring measurable direct and indirect benefits to our clients through additional value-added services. It enables us to continue to execute on our vision of a single platform that can book and change any travel source required by a business traveller.”

For HRS, the Serko relationship allows the company to grow its presence in the region. Joint customers will have access to global corporate hotel content through a single source, incorporating the exclusive HRS discounts as well as Australian and New Zealand hotel content from The Lido Group, which partnered HRS in 2016.
