Travelocity Business Launches TBiz Smart Access

SOUTHLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Travelocity Business® today announced TBiz® Smart Access for business travelers that allows them to easily access any information related to business travel planning, expense management and reporting from one landing page. Travelocity Business ranks among the top 10 travel management companies in North America, offering corporations a compelling combination of best-in-class automation and traditional travel management services.

“Our new Smart Access tool allows travelers to stay informed of everything they need from a travel standpoint on one easy-to-understand page”

TBiz Smart Access provides travelers a user-friendly interface that gives them a direct connection to information regarding travel bookings, expense tools and meeting registration. In addition, the page features Travelocity Business Compliance IQ, a dynamic graphic that easily demonstrates the traveler’s policy compliance over various periods of time. For Compliance IQ the Travel Managers set their company’s compliance standards and it shows travelers how their travel compares with those standards. The traveler can also access unused ticket information, a travel calendar that highlights upcoming trips and connects to the customer service resolution desk to check the status of any requests and many more self-help tools.

“Our new Smart Access tool allows travelers to stay informed of everything they need from a travel standpoint on one easy-to-understand page,” said Yannis Karmis, president of Travelocity Business. “The user-friendly interface was put together because we know how difficult it can be to remember where to find all your business travel tools and records. We wanted to provide the traveler with a home base where they could find information and tools to make them smarter, savvier business travelers.”

TBiz Smart Access is customizable based on the company’s needs, and allows the traveler to:

• Access online booking tools, expense reporting and meeting registration
• Check maps for airport delays and weather updates
• Search past itineraries for expense reports
• View travel policies and unused tickets
• Stay informed on TSA rules and regulations
• See travel warnings from the US State Department
• Review Passport and Visa requirements
• View company news and Twitter feeds
• Utilize additional travel tools such as a currency converter

Smart Access is available for travelers and travel arrangers with this version. Travelocity Business will be expanding on the TBiz Smart Access tool by developing similar Smart Access pages customized for the travel manager in 2012.
