Winston Score History

The full picture

Serko Limited is a New Zealand-based software company that builds travel and expense management tools for businesses. Its main product is Zeno, a platform that helps corporate employees book flights, hotels, and other travel while keeping costs under company policy. Serko also powers the booking platform for Booking.com for Business, which is a major partnership that gives it access to a large global customer base.

Serko makes money by charging fees each time a booking is made through its platform, rather than through flat subscriptions. It operates primarily across the Asia-Pacific region and North America, and its partnership with Booking.com is both its biggest growth opportunity and its biggest risk — if that relationship weakens or ends, revenue could fall sharply. The company is still unprofitable, with negative operating margins, meaning it spends more than it earns as it tries to grow its user base in competitive markets against larger rivals like SAP Concur and Amadeus.
