Amadeus Unveils New Mobile Solutions for Business Travelers

Amadeus said a suite of mobile solutions will become available to the business traveler this summer. This includes the possibility of having efficient approval workflow while on the road and itinerary-based location information upon demand, as well as an employee security tracker. The new solutions will function on all the major mobile operating systems such as Windows Mobile, Symbian and BlackBerry.

All necessary travel information is now at hand for quick and convenient consultation during any journey, simply by using Amadeus Mobile Partner, which is synchronized with Amadeus e-Travel Management.

Travelers can store complete itineraries on their mobile device at the push of a button. They can access everything from flight schedules and hotel addresses, to car rental and check-in information, even when they do not have network connectivity. It also means that these details can be checked while abroad without incurring any roaming fees.

Amadeus Mobile Partner has an additional function for travel approvers within a company which allows them to confirm or reject trips while on the go via their mobile, thus avoiding bottlenecks when they are away from their desk. Approvers see the full list of trips waiting to be approved, and can quickly endorse or reject them directly from their mobile.

Amadeus SMS Traveler Contact is a traveler tracking and security tool to facilitate ad hoc communication with traveling employees before, during and after they travel, allowing them to take care of their travelers in just three easy steps. It allows the travel manager to reach out to travelers who may be at risk during an emergency; send SMS notifications before, during and after their trip; and quickly send information via e-mail to all those employees with planned trips for a given destination.

Amadeus has teamed up with mobile technology company ConTgo to offer an additional mobile solution to corporations. Mobile Travel Assistant’s (MTA) main feature, known as the Follow-Me Itinerary, delivers relevant information directly to the traveler’s mobile phone using SMS messages only when they need it.
