Independent travel management company Hillgate Travel has launched its business intelligence and reporting application, MiWay Analytics.
The new tool, developed in-house by Hillgate Travel, provides users with access to a vast number of pre-trip and post-trip dashboard visualisations, covering all travel purchasing categories.
It lets users analyse the raw data-set, where they then have the ability to manipulate the data to create, save and schedule their own reports and visualisations.
MiWay Analytics, which Hillgate’s new and existing customers will have complimentary access to, also provides users with a wide range of traditional reports and all data can be exported in a range of formats.
The application was launched at an event at the Dorchester Hotel in central London last night. More than 100 customers, staff and industry figures attended the event where a full live demonstration of MiWay Analytics was provided.
Hillgate Travel’s director of sales, Warren Dix, said: “The key question I expect to be asked by the market is why we didn’t simply buy-in a third party out-of-the-box solution for our customers. The answer is simple. By developing our own business intelligence application we can continue to offer our customers the complete flexibility that befits our ethos – Business Travel. Your Way,” said Dix.
“MiWay Analytics has been designed with the input of our customers and the future development roadmap will take account of their exact requirements too,” he added.
Hillgate Travel’s chief technology officer Antoine Boatwright said although most companies have access to data, their TMC is “bombarding” them with too much basic information that is hard to understand.
“MiWay Analytics counters this issue,” said Boatwright. “The powerful visualisations that are presented in MiWay Analytics allow users to immediately identify any key programme trends and the drill-down capability allows them to easily interrogate and re-purpose the raw data.”
Hillgate Travel will be showcasing MiWay Analytics at The Business Travel Show at London Olympia on the February 25 and 26 on stand B455.
Hillgate Travel was named in BBT’s 2014 Top 50 TMCs.
