Seven more agencies sign up for Travelport’s Trip Assist
Travelport has signed seven new agreements in Europe to deploy Trip Assist, its mobile application for travel management companies and travel agencies.
The deals include two UK-based agencies, Amber Road Travel and LycaFly.
Since the mobile solution was launched in May 2018, Travelport has secured more than 20 Trip Assist customers worldwide.
Agencies get a fully branded mobile engagement solution with ‘smart itinerary management capabilities and the ability to create agency defined messages and rich push notifications’.
The technology also helps travellers share and organise complex travel plans on the go and from one place.
It also gives them greater autonomy to self-serve with features that enable airline check-in, the ability to import external bookings and ‘click to call’ support.
