Uvet France is off to a flying start in 2017. The business travel agency - known on the French market as Avexia not so long ago - is certainly showing signs of dynamism, and its ambitions have been revised upwards. On Tuesday, a few hours before the launch of its new website, the Uvet France teams unveiled some of the new tools that French business travellers and travel managers will need to familiarise themselves with. According to Benjamin Lanierrecently appointed Sales Director of Uvet France, this new online showcase, unveiled on Tuesday, should enable the business travel agency to " keep pace with new technologies, so that we are not just one player among many for our corporate customers, but one of the leading players in the market. the their development. It's all about supporting them on their business trips, which are the foundation on which companies grow. We're here to make it as smooth as possible "he said on Tuesday.
However, the main technological advances are yet to come. Visit January 2018 will be launched ononline booking tool ("self booking tool"), called BizTravel. Until now, Uvet France has relied on the KDSThe agency will now be adding an in-house tool to its offering, developed in-house by TNSthe Group's technology specialist. Objective: mastering the entire technology chain and be able to adapt with greater flexibility and responsiveness to future developments. " We aim to be multi-SBT to better adapt to customer demand, but we realise that customers need certain specific features that are not offered by other players. "explains Benjamin Lanier.
The tool has already proved its worth on the other side of the Alps, with the Italian market and its prestigious customers - the MediaSet group and AC Milan, to name but a few - already equipped with the BizTravel solution. If themobile application is already available for French customers, the Group has decided to take its time to better integrate French specificities: " The French cultural exception also applies to business travel "says Benjamin Lanier.
We will therefore have to wait until the beginning of next year to see this in-house SBT make its debut in France, but the managers at Uvet France are already looking further ahead. They confess that they are working on a solution dedicated to managing expense reports and travel orders, a priori called BizExpense, which could make its debut in the coming months.
