Amadeus has acquired Voxel, a provider of electronic invoice and B2B payment solutions for travel sellers, hotels and other travel players. This will support Amadeus’ goal to deliver a smooth travel payment experience ad complement Amadeus’ payments business, Outpayce, by enhancing its existing travel sellers’ product suite while expanding in the hospitality segment.
The addition of Voxel solutions to Amadeus’ existing offering will provide access to a wider range of payments services for travel sellers and a more automated electronic way to manage invoices for tour operators, TMCs, hotel aggregators, and hotels. The acquisition of Voxel will also help Amadeus better serve its corporate customers by further automating the business travel experience, from reservation and payments to expense management.
“The acquisition of Voxel brings a complementary portfolio of solutions to enrich Amadeus’ end-to-end offering, leveraging smart technology in order to benefit the wider travel eco-system and industry," Decius Valmorbida, president, travel, Amadeus said in a statement. "Payments are present at every stage of the travel experience. To make the experience of travel better, it’s crucial we ensure smooth, integrated and even invisible payments. We now have a combined team of experts who are passionate about payments, and a breadth of customers who will now be able to leverage the power of Voxel and Amadeus together. This is yet another example of how Amadeus makes travel work better for everyone, everywhere.”
