Company expands platform to meet growing enterprise customer needs and ernhance safety and security features for business travelers.
NEW YORK – Rocketrip, the leading technology platform for reducing corporate travel costs, today announced its new duty of care integration with International SOS, the top medical and travel security risk services company. Now through Rocketrip, employers are equipped with the tools to maintain duty of care when employees stay with a friend in lieu of a hotel, and ensure that employees are safe while traveling for work domestically and overseas. This integration is among the most-requested features from Rocketrip’s enterprise customers, and the framework will allow Rocketrip to easily extend this capability to a number of additional duty of care providers.
“As business travel evolves, it’s important for International SOS to continuously innovate, and our integration with Rocketrip is a prime example of how we’re accomplishing that,” said Tim Daniel, Senior Advisor, Innovation & Business Strategy at International SOS. “Their humancentric approach to corporate travel is very much aligned with how we think about serving the growing needs of our clients.”
“Developing our duty of care integration was a direct response to growing demand from our enterprise customers, especially those with policies that allow employees to stay with a friend instead of at a hotel,” said Dan Ruch, CEO at Rocketrip. “The technical framework we’ve put in place will also allow for seamless integrations with additional duty of care partners to continue providing our clients with the data and solutions they need to maintain world-class employee travel programs."
Rocketrip’s new duty of care integration will heighten employee security and mitigate risks for those traveling for work. Duty of care standards require companies to ensure the health, safety, and security of their traveling employees. Now Rocketrip customers can access employee trip details, no matter where they’re staying, in order to track and locate employees in case of emergency.
The news today is part of Rocketrip’s ongoing mission to fix an antiquated industry with an innovative approach. Pioneering the Incentivized Behavioral Change movement in corporate travel, Rocketrip is the only system to algorithmically predict what a trip should cost and to provide material incentives to employees for changing their spending behavior. The platform gives business travelers a personalized "Budget to Beat" for each trip based on a company’s travel policy, negotiated rates, and real-time market inventory. Travelers who book under budget earn a share of the savings they generate to spend on things they truly value. Additionally, the Rocketrip Insights analytics dashboard enhances conventional expense reporting by aggregating data from all travel vendors, including airlines, hotels, car rental companies and even Airbnb.
