By Gloria Methri

Payment orchestration provider BR-DGE has partnered with Polani Travel, an e-commerce company offering travel products and services including flights, hotels, and holiday packages.

The partnership will equip Polani Travel and its flightcatchers.com business with the latest in payment orchestration technology to deliver a seamless online checkout experience for customers. The e-commerce company will have access to BR-DGE’s platform of over 300 payment and technology providers via a single point of integration.

The family-run business, established in 1965, operates flightcatchers.com which is an IATA-accredited agent offering flights and holidays for UK travellers. As the company transitions to a multi-acquirer strategy, it will be able to route traffic and utilise data insights to drive informed decisions for its payment stack.

Emily Whalley, Senior Travel Specialist at BR-DGE, said, “We are excited to work alongside Polani Travel, an e-commerce business that has a rich heritage in providing customers the best experience possible which will be further strengthened by the industry-leading capabilities of the BR-DGE platform. As customers look ahead to book their summer holidays for 2024, Polani will be well-positioned to seize the opportunities available and build lasting relationships with customers by providing a flexible, simple, and secure option for their travel purchases.”

Suleman Ishaq, Marketing Analytics Director from Polani Travel, added, “Given our remarkable growth in the last few years, it is essential we remain dedicated to continually improving our customers’ booking journey. A key part of this journey is the payment experience. Partnering up with BR-DGE goes a long way towards fulfilling this commitment by providing a smooth and effortless booking experience. We are genuinely thrilled to be working together and can’t wait to get started.”
