TRX, Inc. (www.trx.com) (OTCQB: TRXI), a global leader in travel data and technology, today announced new benchmark reporting features for its data intelligence solution TRAVELTRAX at the 2012 Global Business Travel Association Convention (GBTA) in Boston.

Unlike benchmark reporting that is widely available in the industry and generally reported at a macro level, TRAVELTRAX benchmark reporting is unique because it takes into account credit card data and comparisons based on relevancy to the end user. These benchmark reports can be tailored to the client's needs and can compare air, hotel, car rates and other categories for similar industries, spend categories and geographies.

TRAVELTRAX benchmark reports show:

• Channel compliance – demonstrating air, hotel and car bookings on a credit card that were not booked through the preferred TMC
• Price difference for preferred versus non preferred hotels, drilling down to the hotel star rating and category level
• Folio Spend Gap – difference between TMC hotel cost and card hotel cost
• Purchased versus paid – gap between what was purchased and what was paid
• Average contracted airfare versus non-contracted airfare
• Percentage of preferred carrier bookings under contact
• Average airfare booked online versus full service agent booking
• Number of preferred vendors for air, hotel and car
• Average negotiated fare/rate in air, hotel and car
• Ancillary fee spend in air, hotel and car
• Carbon footprint in air, hotel, car and rail
• Average meal, parking, or black car spend
• True total trip cost

"High quality information helps drive decisions in travel management," said TRX Executive Vice President of TRAVELTRAX Kevin Austin. "TRX consumes and processes large volumes of travel data in more varieties than any other provider –data that assists customers in important procurement decisions. We added credit card data to our benchmark database to give our clients greater visibility into their program performance and benchmark categories that will further aid buyers in budgeting, forecasting and supplier selection decisions."
