Travel data sharing specialist Journera has signed AmTrav at its first corporate travel management company user, the company announced Friday. The agreement will enable AmTrav's corporate clients to leverage Journera's services, which are designed to improve the overall trip experience by sharing disparate trip information, such as flight and hotel bookings, in one central channel.
Advantages of that approach include increased visibility into itinerary changes and cancellations, insight into trips booked via out-of-policy channels and more comprehensive duty-of-care capabilities, according to Journera.
Launched in 2015 with a focus on the leisure segment, Journera during the past year has been building out its platform to serve the corporate side and plans to add additional corporate TMCs to its existing base of airline and hotel partners, which include Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott, Hyatt, United Airlines and American Airlines. Journera was founded and is helmed by CEO Jeff Katz, who formerly served as the founding CEO of Orbitz and CEO of Swissair.
