Tech solutions for a confident return to business travel

tech update

As airlines start to prepare for increased capacity and borders open up, we’re here to help you prepare for a return to travel.

We want you to feel confident that you have access to the latest COVID-19 information from suppliers such as airlines and hotels, as well as reassurance that health and hygiene processes are in place.  Our suite of award-winning online booking tools and apps are optimised to help you return to safe travel in the coming months. 

Here’s a quick update of what we’ve been working on to make sure you have access to the information and data you need. 

 

SAVI Feature
NEW!

Approval by Price now available in Savi

Corporate Traveller's online booking tool, Savi, now features “Approval by Price” functionality.

This new capability is an additional trigger aimed to enhance your organisation’s approval workflow. It enables organisations to implement price thresholds per air, hotel or car segment booking.

How Savi Supports Travel Policy Compliance

When the total cost of an air, hotel or car booking exceeds the allocated budget amount a message will be displayed to the traveller/travel arranger on the itinerary selection page. This message will inform them their selection exceeds the trip budget amount set by their organisation.

If the traveller/travel arranger proceeds with their booking, this will break company policy and they will need to provide reason(s) on the confirmation page before the booking can be completed.

AU-Stage-HW-SaviContactTracing

Passenger Contact Tracing now available in Savi

As part of its COVID-19 response and to ensure effective contact tracing, the Australian Government recently announced that all Australian domestic airlines are to collect the following four data fields for each passenger on a mandatory basis:

  • Passenger name;
  • Mobile phone number;
  • Email address; and
  • Postcode of residence.

Collection of this information supports contact tracing requirements designed to mitigate COVID-19 community transmission from airline passenger movements across domestic borders.

To support passenger contact tracing requirements, all required personal information fields are now mandatory within the Profiled and Guest Traveller booking form when making an airline booking in Savi.

Savi’s intuitive user interface makes this easy by pulling data from the traveller profile, and where information is incomplete, Savi will prompt for the required data to be added before the booking can be confirmed.

SS-HW-Clean-Hotels-Indicator

SAVI Clean Hotels Indicator - NOW LIVE!

The new ‘Clean Hotels’ indicator allows users to see at a glance hotels which have implemented new health and hygiene measures to ensure traveller wellbeing throughout their stay. 

Savi now visually identifies properties affiliated to the 'Clean Hotels' program through the Map and List view displays on your search returns 

As border restrictions lift, both domestically and ultimately internationally, having easy access to this information at the time of booking will not only provide travellers with confidence in their accommodation choices, but will also support your organisation's duty of care.

Also now live is the fully integrated display panel for the hotels credit as a Clean Hotel. The suggested view includes a clear overview of the health and hygiene measures that the hotel has implemented. 

NZ Route Happy

SAVI Smarts - Be informed of health and safety at the time of booking

Since September 2019 our market-leading online booking platform SAVI has provided enriched Routehappy content.  For airlines that partner with Routehappy’s parent company ATPCO, SAVI will display up-to-date airline policies for COVID-19 at the time of booking, giving you confidence that you are choosing the safest and most sensible option for your next trip.  

The information displayed includes health and safety measures such as health screening, food and beverage hygiene, passenger and crew wellbeing, airport and cabin cleaning as well as flexible booking conditions.

The data available is increasing as airlines start to ramp up again, and includes popular airlines such as Qantas and Air New Zealand.
