Bloomington, IN (November 30, 2020) Gant Travel Management, the award-winning travel management company that aims to optimize companies’ return and experience on the SAP platform, announced they will now provide all clients critical COVID-19 data at the time of booking in Concur Travel. Gant’s latest enhancements are provided by Tripkicks, the People’s Choice Award Winner at BTN Innovate.
Tripkicks integrates with Concur Travel to enable Gant’s travelers to see real-time insights and alerts about their travel while booking their trip.
Gant will now display information to travelers which include safety advisories, destination intelligence, supplier insights, COVID-19 data, dynamic rate targets, and custom messaging at the time of booking. The enhancement empowers travelers with the important information needed to stay safe and be better informed and equips travel managers with a simple tool to help restart their business travel programs.
Tripkicks curates data from various locations ranging from public sources, third-party providers like Travel Risk Management companies, industry associations like ATPCO, GDS’, and visa companies. “Gant has always focused on leveraging innovative technology to better serve their clients,” said Tripkicks CEO, Jeff Berk. “At a time when all of us need more information about travel, we’re pleased to be working with companies like Gant, who recognize the importance of making this data available to all business travelers.”
“This is exactly the information companies need to ensure their travelers are well informed before going back on the road,” says Gant CEO, Patrick Linnihan. “We are rolling this out to all Gant clients in December. Reporting and data have always played an instrumental role in managing a travel program. Since March 2020, that role has expanded dramatically. Tripkicks’ Insight tool and our COVID-19 Dashboard are two of our most important enhancements since March. We’re offering these tools to help our clients book travel more efficiently as well as identify cancellations, define program impact, and monitor the level of service we provide travelers during the relaunch of business travel,” added Linnihan.
