Focus Travel Partnership has launched a new duty of care
technological solution called PinPoint that allows TMCs and corporates to see
where their travelling employees have been, are and where they are due to
travel and combine that with current risks so travel arrangements can be
managed, amended, or cancelled according to government advice and risk levels.
According to the business travel consortium, PinPoint
provides information in a visual map interface, which is overlaid with UK
Foreign Office advice and Covid-19 risk levels. Users can use multiple methods
of searching, including by traveller, location or city, supplier, flight
number, hotel, or FCO and Safeture/Covid-19 overlay.
The system can also be used to manage the maximum permitted
number of travellers on the same aircraft and to create traveller groups so
personal assistants can see all their bookings in one place. In addition to
showing information by hovering over a location on the map, the data can also
be displayed in table format, which can then be replicated in report form.
In addition, travellers can be contacted directly from the
system via SMS text message or email.
