End-to-end processing of meeting travel with Amadeus Cytric

By now it is no secret: organising meetings without looking at the travel processes, and managing travel without looking at what triggers it, has unfavourable effects on everyone involved.

That is why Cytric and Convien joined forces to deliver interoperability between their platforms, so companies can use an end-to-end process between the Convien Meeting Place Finder and the Amadeus Cytric Online Booking Engine.

The effect is far-reaching, while the implementation is very easy: the Meeting Place Finder can be made available company-wide, or for specific user groups, in Microsoft Outlook with just a few clicks, and it shows the meeting organiser valuable savings potential based on the participants’ travel. After the invitation is sent, participants go straight to the Cytric Online Booking Engine to plan and book their trips. Single sign-on lets them switch between the applications throughout the process without passwords.

The system recognises internal and external participants, so it can be used for more than purely internal meetings. Beyond the advantages of each platform and the convenience for participants, the joint process makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

One example: companies lose savings to maverick buyers, travellers who book outside the guidelines without considering the purchasing strategy. Strategic purchasing and the avoidance of climate-damaging emissions through the agreed platforms then come to nothing. Guiding employees to the agreed booking platforms at the moment a trip is needed reduces this problem considerably.
