Booking technology provider Vibe has introduced a new “consumer-grade” booking tool for business travel.
Known as Vibe Corporate, the off-the-shelf tool can integrate complex travel policies and multi-level approval with content "from all major GDS connections" – including hotel, rail and ancillary connections – and, according to the company, was “built specifically to drive online adoption”.
TMCs can offer the tool to users under the Vibe Corporate brand, while a fully customisable Vibe Corporate Plus tool will also be made available for corporates via existing TMC clients. Both services will be available on a pay-per-transaction basis and are currently being rolled out in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and North America.
The company told BTN Europe the tool is "simple enough to use for the SME market, but with functionality to support enterprise-level clients too".
Vibe co-founder and e-commerce director Martin Eade said the tool is “a direct response to an increase in demand from both TMCs and in-house corporate teams for consumer-grade, off-the-shelf booking technology solutions”.
He added: “Naturally we’ll maintain our fully bespoke offering as that is what many want and value from Vibe, but, already we have strong interest from several businesses for both Vibe Corporate and Vibe Corporate Plus and hope to make further announcements soon.”
