Carlson Wagonlit Travel has today launched its new “business intelligence tool” CWT Analytiqs.
The tool has been designed by travel managers and the TMC predicts it will be used by more than 5,000 buyers once the global rollout is complete in December.
It offers travel buyers a dashboard, which can be customised and populated with “near real time” data, which means within 30 minutes of booking.
CWT Analytiqs will also display buyers’ own travel data benchmarked against the best performers in the industry and CWT client averages.
Another feature of the enhanced dashboard is an area highlighting specific recommended actions that buyers can make to improve the performance of their programmes.
Shell Oil Company’s corporate travel services manager, Cindy Morse, said: “I am very happy that CWT has created a forum for their customers to help drive the strategy and direction of CWT Analytiqs. As one of the pilot users, I’ve found the features that are being developed a major step forward.”
Doug Anderson, president & CEO, CWT, said: “Our goal is to take our clients from a world of facts, figures and reports to a world of connections, insights and possibilities. Our aim is to not only change how we deliver travel data but change the industry for good.”
CWT was named number one TMC in BBT’s 2015 Top 50 UK TMCs.
