Thrust Carbon has added a new pre-trip briefing capability to its behavioral change tool, EngageAI, which it launched earlier this year.
With the capability, EngageAI can reach out to a traveler a day or two before their departure to provide guidance on policy, such as per diems and expense rules that apply specifically to the trip. It also provides information specific to their destination, such as traffic and weather data, rail status or other information that could affect the travel experience.
"A policy sitting in a shared drive changes nobody's behavior," Thrust Carbon CEO Kit Aspen said in a statement. "A short, relevant message the day before you travel, that knows where you're going and what good looks like in that city, will bring that policy to life."
Thrust launched EngageAI in January as a tool to guide travelers to more economical and sustainable options while traveling. The company now is working to add messaging specific to travelers into the briefing, based on data such as travel history and expense habits, the company said.
