TripNavigator & CWT To Go Apps Integrate Uber

Expedia's Egencia incorporated Uber ride requests into this week's update of mobile app TripNavigator, and CWT has integrated Uber into CWT To Go, The Beat reported. TripNavigator knows a traveler's location and his or her next stop via itinerary data and displays Google Maps driving directions, Citymapper public transit directions and Uber pickup time and estimated cost and drive time, according to Prashanti Tata, Egencia senior product manager for mobile. If a traveler requests an Uber ride, TripNavigator pre-fills pickup and destination information and the type of Uber. David Moran, CWT executive vice president of global marketing and enterprise strategy, said CWT To Go "knows you have arrived at your destination and prompts Uber to pop up." It also pre-populates user and destination information in the ride request.
