BTN Innovate 2024New York | September 30
Among the thirteen technology providers hand-picked to FACEOFF is Travel Incorporated’s Eric Almond, Head of Product joined by Greg Apple, CEO of AMGiNE – the leading AI automation platform for travel management companies.
The duo will present iRequest – an industry-first approach to service incoming booking requests powered by AI technology that benefits the travel manager, travel coordinator, traveler and TMC.
When their Online Booking Tool is not available and the traveler chooses to request support for a new booking via email, iRequest Travel delivers the traveler policy-compliant search results in under 10 minutes.
iRequest Travel provides three initial itinerary options based on company policy and personalized preferences aggregated through AI, or options to further filter for more results to choose from.
iRequest Travel reduces the time intensive back and forth communication, while ensuring a travel consultant reviews and approves full compliance prior to ticketing.
Travel Incorporated has developed iRequest Authorize based on two optional processes:
Agent Assisted Including Bulk Rosters
-
- iRequest Authorize provides a simple process for the Travel Manager or Travel Arranger to complete a travel authorization form for a single traveler, or bulk group/roster of travelers.
- Through AI, Travel Incorporated provides the best itineraries to meet the arranger’s requirements for selection and approval.
- This process provides significant efficiencies in management and oversight.
Traveler Review and Confirmation of Selection
-
- In situations where a choice of travel itineraries is appropriate for the traveler or candidate to select, iRequest Authorize provides the traveler with options (with or without pricing) after the travel authorization is completed.
- This can be especially useful for emergency situations, deployments or service related response teams.
