HRG Insight, the new product developed in-house by teams at Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), has been on show at the Business Travel Show in London since Tuesday. It provides travel managers with an interactive map giving both a global and detailed view of current, past and future business travel within the company. The tool compiles the expenses incurred, the location of travellers and risk zones, integrated before and after the trip, making it easier for the travel manager to manage the information. The online service can be accessed from mobile devices such as digital tablets, and provides the graphics needed for effective management of the travel policy. What's more, the location of travellers, a key element in providing effective assistance in the event of a crisis situation - climatic, political or even volcanic - is integrated into travel management from the outset: "Faced with growing needs in terms of security, compliance [with travel policy] and cost control, we now have the data and the platform to meet these requirements," says Nigel Meyer, Head of Technology and Data Services at the HRG Group.
