About Onyx CenterSource:
Frictionless-free Commerce between Hotels and Travel Agents
The new Onyx CenterSource came together because they saw an opportunity to better serve their customers on a global scale. Rather than serving either hotels or travel agents for their commission processing needs, they could “close the loop” and serve both sides of the network to optimize the ecosystem. Because if they can enable hotels to be more commission friendly to travel agents, agents will re-book those hotels, which generates more revenue for the hotels and in turn more commissions for the agent, a “virtuous circle,” if you will.
Spun out of Pegasus Solutions in 2013, and backed by pre-eminent private equity investor H.I.G., Onyx CenterSource is headquarted in Dallas, TX with significant additional staff based in Norway and Spain.
