CorpTrav constantly monitors new and/or upgraded travel software introductions and trends as part of our on going corporate due diligence. In addition, CorpTrav frequently participates in Alpha and Beta software tests with many of our vendor partners including Sabre, GetThere, Cornerstone and CliqBook.

Our vision relating to new technology trends and internal development in the next 3 years is two fold:

Provide globally accessible “single source client portals” with multi-lingual, multi-tool capabilities.  CorpTrav now has the ability to offer unlimited travel resources for any component of travel related procurement to both the traveler and travel arranger with the click of a mouse.  Our Client Portals allow CorpTrav to customize a client-centric web page that incorporates:

• Level Specific Travel Policies
• On-line Booking Tools and Support
• Virtually There itineraries
• Traveler Risk Intelligence
• Emergency Medical Information
• CorpTrav AgentTeam, Account Management and Customer Service Contacts
• Instant Ad/HocWeb Reporting
• Ancillary vendor access such as hotels, car rental providers, limo and taxi services

And the list goes on.  Several of the client portals CorpTrav launched in 2007 and 2008 are already beginning to incorporate “non-travel” elements where travelers can access information and/or services that their firm wants to make available to them while traveling on business.  Our clients are pure evidence that the move to incorporate all of these tools, resources and ancillary components are becoming extremely desirable, as these portals actually increase the operational and individual efficiencies of the end user.  In addition, as these portals are company sponsored resources, we’re seeing that user adoption at the on-line booking level is actually increasing because travelers feel that they can trust these tools to encompass everything they would need to access or utilize while traveling.  CorpTrav’s vision is continual refinement of these tools to bring an even more comprehensive one source tool to deliver every resource a traveler would need, anytime, anywhere, worldwide.

Global traveler whereabouts are also going to be a much larger trend for corporations, as “Duty of Care” responsibilities are fast becoming the hotter topic in a world of unrest.  Again, CorpTrav is at the forefront of these technology trends by offering TSDS, our Traveler Security and Data Suite.  This innovative technology provides real time information on traveler whereabouts, worldwide, with the click of a mouse.

From anywhere in the world, Travel Managers can now immediately access:

• Traveler Data
• Traveler contact information
• Current and future reservation data
• Ticketed/non-ticketed reservations
• Multi-level emergency contact information
• Manage Travel Disruptions
• Corporate Data
• Flight Threshold information that details how many employees are on any given flight
• Manage supply chain
• Monitor Policy Compliance
• Pre-Trip Information
• View up to 3 years of historical traveler data

CorpTrav will be happy to demonstrate the effectiveness, as well as the ease of functionality, of this innovative new business intelligence software.
