Yesterday, Monaker Group, Inc. (OTCQB: MKGI) announced that
it has contracted Primero Systems, a globally-recognized technology solutions
provider, to complete final partner integrations and upgrades for its flagship
travel website, NextTrip.com. For more than two decades, Primero Systems has
earned the trust and respect of clients across multiple industries by
developing award-winning enterprise platforms and customized technology
solutions.
“I’m pleased to be working with Gary and the Primero team
again on another travel platform. In our last project, Primero delivered us a
high-quality work product, on time and on budget, giving us industry acclaims,”
Bill Kerby, chairman and chief executive officer of Monaker, stated in
yesterday’s news release. “I know Gary will take our NextTrip platform,
transform it, and deliver a site that will showcase our alternative lodging,
ground products and travel services in an eloquent, real-time booking
solution.”
Originally launched in early February, NextTrip.com is a
fully comprehensive booking engine designed for use by both travel consumers
and travel agents. The platform integrates a number of Monaker’s acquired
technologies to allow users to book hotels, resorts, vacation rental homes,
unused timeshare inventory, airlines, land tours and rental cars, all in the
same place. As the first booking solution to include conventional lodging,
alternative lodging and unused timeshare and resort inventory in a single
platform, Monaker aims to capture a sizable portion of the alternative lodging
market, which was recently valued at $100 billion in an article on The Street.
“We are thrilled to be working as trusted partners with the
Monaker Group on their NextTrip platform,” added Gary Saner, founder and CEO of
Primero. “Primero’s reputation rests on our ability to deliver mission-critical
and enterprise-grade solutions to the marketplace, and we are eager to support
Monaker with their technology initiatives.”
Moving forward, Monaker expects the NextTrip ‘alternative
lodging’ platform to serve as the primary booking utility in the travel
industry. As of launch, the company already had access to 600 airlines, 100
rental car services and more than 600,000 hotels. Additionally, Monaker
estimated that NextTrip would feature more than 400,000 available units of
alternative lodging inventory as of the end of February, with that figure set
to double by as soon as fall of this year. With key partnerships and
established travel brands used as cornerstones of its comprehensive booking
platform, Monaker is on a mission to establish NextTrip as the ‘one stop’
vacation center for travelers from around the globe.
“Our site brings together significant inventory and channel
partners with distribution in both the B2B and B2C markets,” Kerby stated in a
recent news release. “We anticipate and have planned for quick adoption of our
proprietary platform by thousands of travelers and should see a significant
revenue ramp during 2016.”
