SilverRail, the rail commerce platform that helps travel companies sell global rail easily, is delighted to extend its partnership with Emburse, a market leader in innovative, end-to-end travel and expense management solutions for forward-thinking, mid-sized organizations and large enterprises.
SilverRail provides companies like Emburse with a simple and cost-effective rail booking, ticketing and after-sales platform. Its API and agent tool are designed to significantly reduce the complexity, operational cost and technical effort in offering global rail content.
SilverRail is partnering with Emburse to bring its modern, enterprise-grade online tool for booking flights, rail, hotels and ground transportation to the global market, by ensuring coverage of rail content in the UK and across Europe. With the expanded partnership, Emburse is able to provide rail options alongside air, allowing customers to associate travel policies with their rail bookings. This expansion with Emburse will bring UK rail content to customers in the first quarter of 2025, and to additional European rail carriers throughout the rest of 2025.
Brett Ring, VP Commercial at SilverRail said:
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Emburse, a rapidly-scaling travel and expense management platform, by offering them European rail content alongside Amtrak, which we’ve been providing since 2022. We’re seeing a significant modal shift from planes to trains amongst corporations given net zero targets and SilverRail’s platform makes it easy for any travel company to offer global rail content via one API.”
Steve Reynolds, Chief Strategy Officer at Emburse, said:
“Our growing partnership with SilverRail will enable us to provide even more options to our European customers so they can choose the mode of travel that works best for them. As Emburse continues to scale its operations and as companies look to save both time and money, offering convenient, easy-to-access rail content helps us deliver exceptional business value for our customers.”
SilverRail currently provides Amtrak and VIA Rail content for Emburse customers in the Northeast Corridor (NEC), Canada, and for trans-border travelers between the U.S. and Canada.
