Travel Professionals, based in Cobham, Surrey has introduced TripMate, an online booking tool for business travellers and travel bookers.

The new tool will simplify the whole booking process, while remaining compliant to company travel policy, ensuring using it is a smooth user experience for the client.

The platform will give travel bookers access to over 400 Airlines and 88,000 hotel and car hire suppliers in more than 23,000 locations around the world as well as the ability to process Visa applications for a trip.

Rachel Agourakis, general manager said: “To be competitive in our industry it is necessary to keep ahead with technology. Today’s business traveller does not necessarily want the traditional TMC but a more hands-on experience which gives them control of their booking processes.”

Steve Fossett, business travel manager said: “We wanted a booking tool that mirrored the current corporate traveller model. One that gave our clients fantastic content whenever they needed it, wherever they were. Tripmate does exactly that – opening up our reservation system in a platform that is user friendly and very effective.”

“Clients are now able to book their travel arrangements online via a desktop, tablet or smartphone and within a few clicks, they will have everything they need for a successful business trip”
