TRAVELOGIX GEO It’s more than 11 years since Chris Lewis and Gary Jones founded Travelogix with the simple mission to “empower TMCs across the globe with accurate, accessible, real-time data that drives success”. Their suite of cloud-based solutions has been expanded and enhanced over that time and the latest arrival, Geo, has earned Travelogix a spot in our 2022 Tech Hotlist. Responding to the new age of business travel, Geo is a duty of care platform "designed with TMCs, for TMCs” and provides them with an intuitive user interface containing all traveller data, travel plans, locations, real-time security alerts, live country information and health
updates. It’s the “arm around the shoulder” that each traveller truly deserves, says Lewis. Available to Travelogix clients “at the flick of a switch” and via a “swift onboarding” for non-clients, it gives SME TMCs an alternative to the more expensive and intrusive GPS-driven platforms aimed at the enterprise market. In time, Travelogix says Geo will act as a command centre for all TMCs and their travellers. travelogixltd.com
TRIPBAM FOR AIR Back in our list for a second year, the innovative team at TRIPBAM is making big in-roads with its new product for flight bookings. Like its gamechanging hotel tech, TRIPBAM for Air provides fare re-shopping, contract auditing and benchmarking, both directly to corporate clients and through reseller agreements with TMCs. The result, says TRIPBAM, is that it is able to find lower fares for more than 10% of tickets used, with an average saving of £110. Not only that, because the rebooking is automated there are no agency fees associated with changing air tickets and, furthermore, all GDS
search fees are covered by TRIPBAM. Alongside the savings, TRIPBAM can also grade suppliers, assessing airlines or city pairs against the market or peer set, and do enhanced analysis on market share, which can help corporates in their negotiations. Once an agreement is reached, TRIPBAM’s Contract Auditing works 24/7 to monitor every booking against contracts to make sure suppliers are honouring the terms and to check that agreed rates are available and loaded in all systems. Crucially, it can also make sure travellers are policy compliant. tripbam.rocks
