BCD Travel made available a new mobile app for client travelers using iPhones.
TripSource includes "automatically and securely synchronized" itinerary management, trip information sharing, "real-time flight status alerts and gate changes," driving directions and unspecified "rewards" for using the app. The English-language app is available for free in the United States and Canada, with versions for other mobile platforms and in additional languages to follow. BCD Travel also noted plans for an enterprise version scheduled for release in the second quarter. The customizable TripSource Enterprise app "will provide travel managers with a real-time communications tool for encouraging travelers to make smart choices during trips," according to the travel management company. "Other features in development for TripSource Enterprise include managed hotel and air bookings and custom rewards programs."
