Cornerstone’s Travets Applications Tested by 19 Companies
Cornerstone Information Systems, a technology and professional services company in the travel sector, has released a new application platform, Travets. Nineteen travel management companies and corporations are currently evaluating and testing 11 new Travets applications that will allow them to better manage their travel procurement and operational objectives.
The companies are Uniglobe Preferred Travel, Chambers Travel Management, Travel Leaders, Radius, Dart Container, Corporate Travel Planners, Worldview Travel, Campbell Travel, Casto Travel, Child Travel Services, Executive Travel Associates, Frosch International Travel, Gant Travel, ITA Group, Plaza Travel, SR Travel Service, The Travel Authority, Travel On and US Travel.
Travets are discreet applications, much like iPhone apps, that provide the ability to manage and control specific and defined parts of the travel procurement process. For example, a Travet can show in real time how a company is performing against supplier contracts. Another Travet can give a live view into a specific breakdown of total travel spend across product segments -- for example, air, hotel, car and rail.
A third Travet can show how a company is performing against policy prior to ticketing. A unique Travet view can be created by simply dragging a Travet from the Travet Library and placing it where you want on your screen, similar to how you would access and assemble Google gadgets.
Travets are portable and can reside “outside” of Cornerstone products while working with Cornerstone’s data warehousing and reservation management platforms, iBank and iQCX. For instance a traveler can access a Travet that shows their travel history and future plans from their mobile phone. A corporate travel manager or a travel agent can keep their personal Travets on their desktop to track things such as traveler location and schedule changes.
