KAYAK now has offerings for companies of all
shapes and sizes
Blockskye powers modern expense
integration, payment, and 24/7 customer
support
STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KAYAK, the world's leading
travel search engine, announced today the launch of its first
corporate travel product designed for large companies. KAYAK for
Business' new Enterprise solution combines the best of KAYAK with
the features that business travelers want most — no credit card or
expense report required.
KAYAK for Business was launched in 2020 as a free corporate
travel solution designed for small and mid-size businesses, to make
booking business travel as simple as booking a vacation. The
brand's first Enterprise client, along with Blockskye, partnered
closely with KAYAK to co-develop a solution that not only
challenged the corporate travel landscape but also met the needs of
modern road warriors.
With KAYAK for Business' Enterprise solution companies can:
-
Unlock ALL supplier fares from airlines
in one place. Direct NDC connectivity with
suppliers gives travelers the ability to book directly with
the airlines.
- Make changes directly with the airline using the KAYAK
app. Reduce calls to corporate travel agents,
with a mobile first solution
that also has 24/7 agents on call, just in
case, powered by Blockskye.
- Let employees book their travel on their favorite travel
app. Employees can search for a destination, view what's within
policy, add an expense code and book a trip - with the added bonus
of doing it all on a familiar platform.
- Eliminate expense reporting for flights. Powered by
blockchain technology and through the company's partnership with
Blockskye, the KAYAK for Business Enterprise offering can
facilitate direct payment between companies and participating major
carriers. This innovative technology reduces overall
business costs, and allows travelers to walk
onto a flight without ever having to submit
airline expenses.
- Empower employees
to take advantage of loyalty
perks. Users can see a real-time
breakdown of loyalty benefits during checkout - helping employees
maximize their favorite loyalty program rewards.
-
Monitor environmental impact. With sustainability becoming increasingly important for
businesses, KAYAK's Enterprise solution calculates the Co2
emissions for every flight and sends it directly to the company for
simplified reporting.
KAYAK for Business' Enterprise solution offers a comprehensive
range of features that businesses can expect, such as Duty of Care,
Advanced Reporting, Group Booking, Guest Booking, Unused Ticket
Management, and integrations with third party solutions such as
calendar, reshopping, expense, HR, ERP, single sign-on, and
more.
"With 15+ years of experience in the leisure booking space and
connectivity to travel suppliers, KAYAK was an ideal platform
to partner with to introduce this new way of booking business
travel," said Michael Share, Co-CEO
and co-founder of Blockskye. "We're thrilled to power the customer
support and the alternative form of payments and expense for
Enterprise — as we know this new way of booking business
travel will transform the experience for corporate travelers."
