Mobile technology will revolutionise business travel

October 28, 2008 |

Mobile technology will allow travellers to book and amend flights and make hotel reservations, as well as complete expense forms while on the road, thereby increasing their flexibility, welfare and productivity.

As a result, employees will need to spend less time on travel-related tasks in the office, instead performing them while travelling. Implemented across the entire business, these functions will deliver substantial cost savings for companies through increased productivity and efficiency.

Mobile technology will help the corporate travel manager meet travel policy requirements, delivering improvements in employee security during business trips.

Up-to-the-minute security alerts or warnings about delays or disasters that might affect corporate travellers can be automatically sent via simple, timely SMS text messages. And travel managers will at the same time be able to track employees using GPS systems, enabling them to account for all their staff in the event of an emergency.
