Startup enterprise software company, BeCause partners with global online travel platform Booking.com (NASDAQ:BKNG) that will aid Booking.com (BKNG) to receive real time data about accommodations that have earned an array of more than 40 recognized third-party sustainability certifications.
This will enable the company to more efficiently present reliable, up-to-date information about those accommodations with a third-party certification, so travelers can make a more informed choice for their next trip. 
This will e achieved through a dedicated API. Based on its Sustainability Management Hub platform, BeCause developed an API solution specifically for Booking.com's (BKNG) needs.
"Through our partnership with BeCause and the technical solutions they have created specifically for our platform, we've streamlined how we receive sustainability information from our accommodation partners that have invested in achieving a credible third-party certification, allowing us to focus our efforts internally on those areas where we can further innovate and have the most impact," says Thomas Loughlin, Sustainability Manager at Booking.com. "We get the accurate, trustworthy data that we need in real time, which we can then in turn automatically present to our customers, enabling them to make more informed decisions about how they choose to travel."
