Duty of care is more important than ever, which is why business travel agents are keen to ensure their small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients have the tools to instil traveller confidence. A key way to achieve this is by using an integrated travel management and expense solution that is available 24/7 across desktop and mobile devices. However, business travel agents may lack the specialist skills in-house to deploy such highly configurable and intelligent solutions.
That’s where the partnership between Element Travel Technology and Amadeus comes in. Element provides specialist services and a proven track record of implementing corporate booking and expense projects. When you combine that with Amadeus’ continuous R&D investment in advanced technology, you get a winning combination of service and innovation.
“cytric Travel & Expense is a powerful travel management solution. This exciting new partnership means that SME business travel agents will be able to harness the latest technology and crucially, benefit from the expertise and guidance of Element’s team of implementation experts. Our purpose is simple, to enable small and medium-sized business travel agencies to access better technology and subsequently be more efficient, deliver better customer service and improve the bottom line. This new partnership with Amadeus helps us to achieve all this and more,” said Gavin Smith, Director, Element Travel Technology.
Vasken Tokatlian, Head of Partnerships & Alliances, Corporations, Amadeus commented: “Working with Element adds a new dimension to our partner ecosystem. Now we will be able to reach even more business travel resellers who see the value in offering cytric Travel & Expense, which is a leading, integrated travel and expense management solution.
