Travel firm to add rail customer

Travel software company Datalex expects to announce its first non-aviation-based customer partnership this year, with the addition of rail operators.

In March, the Dublin-based firm announced its intention — as part of a three-phase, five-year growth plan — to expand its client roster beyond airlines by adding rail-service operators and more travel agency customers to its books.

Datalex yesterday said it is in discussions with potential partners and anticipates an announcement “in the coming months”.
