of our leisure businesses and as a result, when
it comes to airfares in particular, their product
knowledge and skills are second to none. This
expertise is what enables them to deliver savings to
your bottom line.
Even our experts have experts – Fare rules and
conditions change all the time and constructing the
right airfare can be an art form. Our Specialist Fares
team look for opportunities to construct your fare in
a way which can save on the total cost of your trip.
We are committed to having the right resources and
skills to provide you with travel expertise, support
and advice 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Our Emergency Assist team is staffed by dedicated
Corporate Traveller personnel who have access
to the same data and information as your day time
team.

business development team through to the time
you start trading with Corporate Traveller, the focus
is always on you. We understand one size doesn’t
fit all and work with you to determine your specific
needs and implement the right travel solution for
your business and your travellers.

one. Corporate Traveller is on hand to answer your

you to ensure the maximum performance for your
travel budget. Their role is to add value at every
opportunity through understanding your business
objectives. Your CRM works closely with your

Combining their experience with the data captured

SECTION 2:
VelöCT
Technology
CT’s VelöCT technology suite
delivers solutions to support four
key areas of your business travel:
✔ Online booking and profile management
✔ The traveller experience
✔ Safety and security
✔ Analysis and business intelligence
CT Portal for streamlined travel
management
The lynchpin of our technology platform
is CT Portal. A single gateway through
which you can swiftly access all elements
of your travel programme. At its simplest,
CT Portal is where you can manage all
your traveller profiles. It will also house
key information including contact details
for your account manager, company
travel policy and can be customised to
provide links to a range of additional travel,
weather and destination information.
As your travel needs develop, other tools
and services can be accessed via CT
Portal, including:
✔ Corporate Traveller’s mobile apps
✔ Online booking tools – air, hotel, car
✔ Your company’s hotel programme
✔ CT ProteCT for traveller safety and
security
Profile management
Maintaining up-to-date profiles for travellers is extremely
important. Accuracy of information is vital in order to
facilitate bookings and minimise any delays at airports
with check-in or border security which can be caused by
incorrect or out of date information. In addition, traveller
preferences can be stored along with memberships of
reward programmes to ensure that their travel experience
is as streamlined as possible.
CT Mobile Apps – keeping travellers
connected
CT Request connects travellers instantly to the best
booking tool available – your dedicated Account
Manager. During business hours, travellers can quickly
request new travel arrangements, no matter how complex.
Your travel expert already knows everything about you
and combining policy, preference and profile will create
options to suit you. Delivered through quick response,
you simply choose the one you want.
The details are then updated in CT Confirm and integrate
with the rest of your journey. CT Confirm keeps travellers
up to date with itinerary details anytime, anywhere. The
app enables you to receive flight status notifications
and check-in as well as tap into resources like airport
guides, a currency converter and weather forecasts for a
comfortable travel experience.

Technology Experts
Behind the scenes we have teams
dedicated to ensuring our own systems
and infrastructure are not only robust but
continually developed. This enables your
Account Manager to work productively
and efficiently in delivering your travel
solution with the right technology for peak
performance.
In addition, our Corporate Solutions area
is responsible for the development and
implementation of online booking solutions
and technology products for clients.
Corporate Traveller is committed to
ensuring these solutions are at the
forefront of the industry.
The combination of experienced and proactive
travel experts and technology can often be the
most powerful way to drive efficiency and leverage
savings. For some Corporate Traveller clients, it
makes sense to use an online booking tool for
selected elements of their travel. We work with you
to understand the makeup of your travel profile and
recommend the online booking solution which best
fits your needs. Unlike many other travel suppliers
your dedicated Account Manager is responsible for
ensuring that all bookings whether booked offline
or through an online tool are checked for quality
assurance prior to ticketing.
One of the major benefits of having Corporate
Traveller delivering a blended booking solution
is our ability to provide insightful management
information across both online and offline bookings.
This allows us to continually assess the data and
work with you to put in place strategies and policies
to have a positive impact on your bottom line.
As an important part of our role in supporting
your duty of care initiatives, we are committed to
providing you with the best resources and access
to global traveller security services. Corporate
Traveller have implemented processes, systems
and tools which allow your employees to travel with
peace of mind.
CT ProteCT combines a real time travel alert service
with traveller tracking capabilities so that if required,
we can quickly and easily locate and contact your
travellers. Whether the disruption to travel is minor
or major, traveller safety is paramount and this
technology allows us to support them when the
unexpected occurs. Key features:
✔ Itinerary based traveller tracking
✔ Colour coded, ‘risk map’ dashboard, powered
by iJET International, Inc. (iJET)
✔ GPS/mobile based traveller tracking (traveller
opt in)
✔ Global crisis communications process (email
and SMS)
✔ Subscription-based security alerts to travel
managers (powered by iJET)
✔ Security alerts available for travellers via CT
Portal
