The partnership includes a customized version of the routeRank tool, which enables door-to-door planning, incorporates total trip costs and uses "patent-pending technology" to find and rank the best possible travel routes based on time, price, mode of transport and carbon dioxide emissions. Travelers using the custom version of routeRank, also accessible via the Short's booking tool, can consider various travel routings and, after settling on one, would use
Bookit functionality to see applicable airline flights and book their choice. The companies, which claimed their collaboration represents "a first in integrating the unfiltered door-to-door information with a corporate booking tool," said similar hotel and car rental functionality is "coming soon."
BCD Travel also works with routeRank.
