Travelport have confirmed the integration with Deem, a corporate travel management platform, with Travelport+. The announcement comes just months after Travelport publicised the game-changing acquisition, a move intended to fulfill a growing need for a tight, fully-integrated tool that provides access and end-to-end servicing of all multi-source content, including NDC.
“Business travellers want, and deserve, the same modern retailing experience as leisure travellers,” said John Elieson, COO and Deputy CEO of Travelport.
“When Travelport announced the acquisition of Deem in March, it was with the intention of providing the corporate travel world with award-winning, complementary tools that are as revolutionary, modern, and easy-to-use as Travelport+. We’ve not only delivered on that promise, but are proud to confirm the integration of the Deem and Travelport+ platforms.”
Travel management companies (TMCs), corporations and their travellers that utilise Deem and Travelport+ will be able to access a wide range of rich and relevant content, all in one place, enhanced by the Content Curation Layer (CCL). This Travelport+ feature uses powerful artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) capabilities to provide agents and travellers a more modern retailing experience with faster search responses, more pertinent results, and greater accuracy. When seamlessly integrated with Deem’s award-winning, modern user interface, this will allow travellers to stay within their corporate policies while ensuring bookings (including NDC) are fully serviceable.
“We’ve heard our corporate customers and there are two key things that they need,” Elieson continued.
“First, they want a one-stop shop for all content through a single tool. And, just as important, they want ease of traveler servicing, meaning the content needs to be the same as what their TMC partner sees. By combining traveler-first, human-centric design with a best-in-class user experience, we’ve brought the ease and enjoyment of booking leisure trips to business travel. Making that content both accessible to and easily managed by their TMC partner ensures travellers are covered, even when you factor in new products only available through NDC or other content sources.”
