Rocketrip
has launched a new analytics dashboard that allows companies to do a deeper
dive on their spending for hotel, air, car and rail.
The
Rocketrip platform works with clients to incentivize the companies' travelers
to find savings on their business travel bookings. Because the technology
already integrates with travel management company and expense systems,
Rocketrip CEO Dan Ruch
said, the Insights dashboard was the logical next step to give corporates visibility
into their travel programs. "We're in the very unique position of being
able to report on all expensing, regardless of the channel through which the
travel was booked," Ruch told BTN.
The
dashboard visualizes travel spend to pinpoint potential problem areas and can
be organized into specific categories, including spend type, vendors, company
departments and individual travelers. A compliance feature also flags
itineraries that are costlier than normal or out-of-step with company policy
and tracks average market prices so managers can see trip prices in context.
In
the coming quarters, Rocketrip will add a traveler tracking feature, as well as
benchmarking, to Insights. While some customization is possible, Ruch said the
out-of-the-box product should fit most needs. Insights is free for Rocketrip
clients.
