The latest version of Short's Travel Management's online booking tool includes a companion, no-fee website geared toward small and midsize companies with unmanaged travel programs.

The site, b-hivetravel.com, allows travelers to book and companies to monitor spending via reporting tools and cost comparisons. Other upgrades to the Short's Travel Online platform include tabbed flight searching to compare flight costs at different airports and dates, the ability to toggle between class of service levels to compare international flight costs, point-and-click hotel map searching and a single-screen comparison of car vendors and types.
