Business Solutions portal provides secure, convenient and cost-effective compensation claim management tool for business air travel delays, cancellations, or missed connections.
PALO ALTO, CALIF. and POTSDAM, GERMANY – refund.me Group, the passenger rights travel technology company, has launched refund.me Business Solutions, a new business-to-business (B2B) web portal that provides worldwide automatic processing of business air travel compensation claims.
The new portal is designed to meet the needs of Travel Management Companies (TMC’s), Corporate Travel Managers and Consolidators. The portal streamlines the claims process, removing the cost and hassle associated with securing compensation for business travellers affected by lengthy flight delays, cancellations, and missed connections covered by European Union (EC) 261 legislation.
Under EU 261 legislation alone, an estimated 11 million people per year are eligible to share in 5.5 billion euros in compensation for flight disruptions. Business Solutions was developed to better serve refund.me’s growing client base of business travel buyers, from SME’s to large enterprises, keen to capitalise on the financial savings achieved through outsourcing compensation claim management to refund.me.
“By outsourcing the claims process to refund.me, companies avoid the costs of internal legal and administrative teams necessary to analyse and process complex flight data and compensation claims,” said Eve Buchner, Founder and CEO of refund.me. “Our new B2B portal makes it easy for companies to capture compensation that might not have been cost-effective to recover previously.”
Customisable to individual corporate travel programmes and policies, the portal is equipped with advanced security, performance and management features ensuring data, claim status, payments, and reports are secure, robust and reliable.
Christian Fischer, CEO of DERPART Reiseburo Hess, Dusseldorf, a leading TMC and travel agency franchise, said: “We proactively offer refund.me’s additional flight compensation service to our customers as it enables them to not only save money, but also gives them immediate access to refund.me’s global network of lawyers to fight on their behalf. The process is simple and straightforward, and the new portal enhances our ability to offer our clients the best possible business package.”
There is no financial risk as refund.me operates on a performance fee basis.
The B2B portal sits alongside refund.me’s consumer site which assists air passengers from 145 countries in securing compensation from 350 airlines, achieving a 98% success rate.
