Travelport partnership to redefine travel management

Travelport partnership to redefine travel management
By admin


Travelport has announced it has invested in travel technology company Locomote, acquiring a 49% share.

The partnership is set to redefine the travel management landscape through the Locomote platform that empowers corporations in the seamless management of their travel, authorisation and procurement processes, including corporate traveller profile management, pre-trip approvals and duty of care capabilities.

Designed by Locomote’s team of developers based in Melbourne, Australia, the platform in turn uses all of Travelport’s Universal Profile, Universal Record, travel policy engine and Travelport’s state of the art uAPI (Universal Application Programming Interface), from which it obtains real time access to Travelport’s content. This includes low cost and network carriers, airline ancillary products, car rental and all of the industry leading, broad range of hotel properties and rates that Travelport now distributes. 

The new platform also allows individual corporations to integrate their travel and/or authorisation processes with multiple expense management systems, corporate booking tools and other add on services.

Travelport president Gordon Wilson said the strategic partnership will “significantly strengthen our offering to both corporates and TMCs from an end to end customer experience perspective.”
