Delray Beach, FL – September 22, 2016: HICKORY GLOBAL PARTNERS (“HICKORY”; www.HickoryTravel.com), a travel management services company providing innovative service, distribution and technology to its network of travel agency and supplier partners, announced today it has released an exclusive, industry leading hotel booking script that will greatly increase production, efficiency and revenues for their valued clients.

The script will ensure that all manual and passive hotel segments are accurately entered into the GDS with correct and standardized formats resulting in seamless integration with your back office accounting systems. Not only does this script have the HFH/EZR booking codes embedded, but it has the functionality to be used for AAA bookings, government, and corporate negotiated contracts.

HICKORY is the first travel management services company to announce the release of such a script. This tool not only provides revolutionary functionality, it also automates those hotel bookings that were made outside of the GDS environment.

“We are thrilled to have released this hotel script to our members,” said Chris Dane, President of Hickory Global Partners. “Hickory Global Partners listens to our members and they told us loud and clear that they would find value in a tool to automate not only the HFH/EZR rate code selling process, but incorporate the passive booking process. Here at HICKORY, we are always looking to further our vision and create and implement products that make our members day-to-day lives better, faster and more efficient. This is just another creative solution offered to our membership to save them time,” continued Dane.

Complimentary Download for All HICKORY Members

HICKORY members have 24/7/365 ‘self-service’ access to download the script on our agent portal, PartnerHQ. Apollo and Sabre scripts are available now, while Worldspan and Amadeus will be released in the near future.

High quality standards and rigorous beta testing practices were utilized before releasing the script to HICKORY’s members. Feedback from beta testing received from agency partners has been 100% positive.
