Manager, which tracks travelers for both security and tax auditing purposes, has
added real-time location tracking using expense receipts and card transactions.
"This means we will be able to track travelers ... from the spending trail
[they] leave during their trips," the United Kingdom-based company said. The
tool also tracks travelers through global distribution system bookings, direct
feeds from travel management companies, e-mails forwarded through TripIt and
WorldMate, direct entry through the company's app and website, SMS, GPS, phone
location and check-ins. Voyage Manager added the card transactions through an
application programming interface link to Yodlee, a financial data aggregation
and analytics platform. Voyage Manager said that connecting its tracking
platform to its Voyage Expense tool can help monitor for fraud if a traveler's
card is used in a different location from where they are visiting.
