HRG signs up for Travelport’s Universal API Technology

Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry, today confirmed that Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) had signed a global agreement for use of its industry-leading Universal API technology.

Launched last September, the Travelport Universal API is a GDS industry first offering travel agency customers the ability to aggregate content and travel-related services from multiple sources through one single connection.  As part of the new agreement, HRG will gain access to additional content from low-cost carriers and high-speed rail providers as a complement to core GDS content.  

The solution, which was designed by Travelport to greatly reduce the time and money its customers were spending on IT, negates the need for HRG to manage and maintain multiple API connections to its new Super Platform architecture.
