ATLANTA, TRX, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRXI), a global technology company that develops and hosts software applications to process data records and automate manual processes, today announced a new agreement with Despegar.com, the leading online travel agency in Latin America, to provide mid-office technology via CORREX across multiple points of sale.

CORREX is a reservation processing platform enabling efficient, automated quality control, file finishing, and ticketing of travel reservations. By eliminating manual processes, CORREX helps increase agent productivity, reduce front- and back-office errors, and reduce costs. The platform also allows agents to consolidate pre-travel and reservation reporting across multiple Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), third-party and corporation-specific databases, and other sources of traveler-specific information.

"We chose TRX as our mid-office partner due to their reputation and global experience," said Martin Rastellino, Chief Operating Officer of Despegar.com. "To ensure the continued delivery of the highest level of service to our customers, we needed a partner with a proven track record of delivering reliable, high quality service, plus be able to meet the specific needs of our market. We believe we've found the right partner in TRX," Rastellino added.

TRX will provide services to Despegar.com's operations in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina during the initial rollout phases of the contract term. Future plans include expansion into Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and other markets serviced by Despegar.com.

"We are delighted to announce Despegar.com as a new client for our mid-office processing solution, CORREX. We think of ourselves as the category leader in this space and adding a Latin American travel partner of the quality of Despegar.com, just adds to that leadership position," said Shane Hammond, President and CEO, TRX.
