Travel management company arrangeMY has partnered with hotel distribution platform Katanox to enhance its accommodation offering for corporate clients.
The Amsterdam-based startup facilitates direct B2B distribution of travel accommodation and payments and the partnership will allow arrangeMY to connect with more hotels and provide clients with increased booking flexibility, according to the companies.
Nick Scott, managing director of the Worcestershire-based TMC, which ranked 23rd largest in the UK in BTN Europe’s Leading TMCs 2023 report, described the partnership as “a win-win situation for us and our clients”.
“We reap the benefits of being able to extend our product offerings, while our clients reap the benefits of greater customisation in terms of where and how they book,” he said.
Katanox co-founder Mendel Senf added: “By bringing together TMCs like arrangeMY with leading accommodation providers, we’re building a stronger ecosystem based on direct relationships, in which all parties benefit. We will continue to fortify this ecosystem with each new organisation we bring onto the Katanox platform.”
The company also told BTN Europe that it recently signed agreements with two additional global TMCs, one of which is listed among Europe’s top five TMCs.
Katanox in July announced budget hotel chain Premier Inn had joined the platform in order to “establish direct connections and build relationships” with TMCs, the companies stated at the time.
