" Global safety doesn't stop at 5 p.m. "This is the implacable statement that underpins the launch of BCD Alert made official on 17 November by the business travel agency. A new mobile application targeting the duty of careby offering an additional solution to travel managers and security officers. Based on TMC booking data, and on alerts that can be triggered at any time internationally, the managers concerned receive a notification via their smartphone, with a list of travellers potentially at risk. BCD Alert then enables them to contact these travellers quickly by SMS, e-mail or telephone, to enquire about their situation. The aim is to communicate quickly with various travellers, while specifically targeting those whose itinerary includes the destination affected by the event.
" BCD Alert is an example of our global strategy to provide travel managers with targeted information based on specific criteria. "explains Woody Tatum, Vice President Travel Data and Insights. " Proactive alerts delivered in real time, whether it's a security incident, a supplier problem or a spending limit, serve as a virtual tap on the shoulder for taking action. "he continues.
