Business travel technology specialist, TripStax, is enhancing its risk management and duty of care support for travel management companies (TMCs) and corporate clients after agreeing a new partnership with global travel intelligence company, Riskline.
The agreement means that Riskline’s technology will be integrated with the TripStax Core, the central data processing engine that powers TripStax’s fully-connected stack of travel management modules. Riskline is one of the world’s leading travel risk insights companies leveraging professional analysts to process more than 100,000 data sources providing accurate and timely travel risk assessments.
The TripStax Core will consume real-time, human-verified risk intelligence data, alerts and destination information from Riskline and proactively determine how best to deploy that data within the relevant connected TripStax modules such as Track, Approve, Docs and Mobile. The unique connectivity of TripStax’s ecosystem of modules means that TMCs and corporates will receive immediate and actionable data regarding threats and incidents to traveller safety. For example, approval flows can be created and re-run within the TripStax Approve module based on risk factors; accurate information can be populated within the TripStax Docs module to add status alerts to itineraries; proactive notifications can be sent to travellers via the TripStax Mobile; and vital information regarding travellers’ location can be immediately sourced within the Track module.
Commenting on the new partnership David Chappell, Chief Product Officer at TripStax, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have forged this new partnership with Riskline for the provision of risk information into our platforms. Considering that the provision of actionable information based on risk is at the top of many customers’ agendas at the moment, the partnership comes at an important time. Ultimately, the travel industry needs more forward-thinking, open, and collaborative architectures and this agreement not only highlights our own desire to partner with the best in the industry but also is a blueprint of how two leading technologies can work together to create better experiences for our customers”.
Suzanne Sangiovese, Director of Travel and Technology at Riskline, added: “We are really excited about the partnership and the new opportunities it offers us. By working with TripStax, our risk technology can be utilised by travel management companies and their customers, enabling them to travel with greater confidence.”
