Specialist TMC Corporate Traveller is launching an alternate
version of its Seeqa online booking tool for clients who need a simpler,
streamlined solution.
Seeqa Lite enables users to search and book flights, hotels,
rail and car hire in a single platform, including low-cost airlines and properties
available through Booking.com. Traveller preferences such as dietary
requirements, frequent flyer numbers and passport details are automatically
transferred to bookings, while the solution also forwards itineraries for
manager approval and a single invoice is produced every month.
According to Corporate Traveller, the implementation of
Seeqa Lite is quicker than the full version and can be available for use within
one day for clients not requiring customisation.
Meanwhile, the full version of the tool, which launched in 2018, has been renamed
Seeqa Pro and is available to clients needing greater customisation to meet
their business objectives and travel programme needs. For example, their travel
policy can be configured with a traffic light system to warn travellers if they
are about to book off policy. It can also be customised to accommodate complex
approval workflows and bespoke data capture fields can be set up to track cost
centres or project codes.
Implementation of Seeqa Pro can be done in up to four weeks.
“Our business model is built around personal service
provided by dedicated small teams of expert travel consultants based in our 20
offices across the UK, looking after their own client portfolio of locally-based
businesses,” said Andy Hegley, UK general manager at Corporate Traveller. “But
we also recognise our service-based business model can be enhanced by
appropriate technology solutions in order to drive further efficiencies for our
client base.
“However, that technology needs to be tailored to match the differing
needs and expectations of our SME-spend clients, in order to benefit the
booker, traveller and manager. Some of our existing customers, as well as new
clients, were asking us for a simpler online booking tool with a shorter
implementation time. That’s why we have invested in Seeqa Lite as an
alternative to our full online booking offering.
“Our priority is to give our SME-spend clients greater choice
and technology that is simple to use, whilst supporting them with booking and
managing travel costs and processes, as well as duty of care obligations. It’s
about blending the appropriate mix of expert offline service with technology
solutions that are right for each client’s business.”
Corporate Traveller will be demonstrating Seeqa Lite on stand
B30 at the Business Travel Show at Olympia London this week.
