Online Booking Technology Partner Network
Selecting the right online booking solution provider is key to the success of any managed travel program. TRX pioneered the online booking industry with the release of Res Assist back in 1996. With the subsequent release of RESX, TRX has been a dominant player in the space for well over a decade. As of late 2011, TRX has taken a different approach to providing online booking services.
TRX created the Online Booking Technology Partner Network to support the diverse online booking needs of our clients. We realize that, for a corporation, choosing an online booking solution can be a very personal decision. Many factors are in play when picking the technology that best serves their needs. We also believe in the power of choice and in the strength and interoperability of our open-network based solutions. This means we strive to build and deploy solutions that meet the needs of our clients and the way they do business. The power of our robust technology portfolio which includes industry leading Data Intelligence, Mid-Office, Expense, Consulting and BPO services is amplified through our ability to broadly partner with other online booking solution providers.
The first member of the TRX Online Booking Technology Partner Network is nuTravel. nuTravel is a technology solutions provider to the travel industry. Like TRX, nuTravel specializes in creating technology solutions for travel agencies and corporations and has been in the online booking space for several years with their booking tool, CTS.
As part of the alliance, TRX and nuTravel will actively cross-promote our complementary sets of travel technology solutions and services, as well as helping current RESX customers seamlessly transition to the nuTravel CTS online booking solution, should they wish to do so.

TRX and nuTravel
With the sale of RESX to NuTravel, both companies have further strengthened their relationship by entering into a mutual referral agreement whereby customers of both companies can benefit by purchasing bundled solutions. As a leader of end to end solutions to the travel industry, TRX will continue to offer several multi-product packages to the market. For example, customers will still be able to purchase a bundled booking and expense solution. Agencies will still be able to purchase TRUEPARTNER Complete which consists of booking, profiler, mid-office, agent management, and reporting with optional BPO services, such as settlement and back-office, all for a single low cost per transaction.
Choosing the right provider can make the difference between achieving your travel program goals or being saddled with outdated, useless technology that drives down adoption and reduces compliance.
As experts in travel technology and automation, TRX, has compiled what we believe to be the essentials of great online booking technology that all of our booking technology partners can provide
