Amadeus announced the acquisition of Voxel, a provider of electronic invoice and B2B payment solutions for travel sellers, hotels and other travel players. This will support Amadeus’ vision to deliver a smooth travel payment experience, according to the announcement. It will also 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, according to the announcement, means access to a wider range of payment 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.

Decius Valmorbida, president, travel, Amadeus, said 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.”
