In a major advancement for corporate travel management, Emburse and Amadeus Cytric have integrated Emburse Reshop with Amadeus Cytric, aiming to help travel managers and business travellers reduce travel expenses significantly. This new integration enables users to access hotel shopping and rebooking services from Emburse Reshop directly through the Cytric platform.
Emburse Reshop offers an opt-in feature allowing travellers to rebook their hotel reservations if a better deal becomes available for the same or a nearby hotel. This functionality ensures travellers get the best value for their stays while saving time and hassle. According to Emburse, corporate travellers can save up to 20% on travel expenses with this tool.
Steve Reynolds, Chief Strategy Officer at Emburse, expressed enthusiasm about the integration: “Corporate travel managers are under constant pressure to deliver value. Emburse Reshop leverages advanced technology to find similar quality, more affordable hotels within a reasonable distance of the original booking. By enabling travellers to choose lower rates, we can significantly increase cost savings beyond what core reshop solutions offer.”
The integration with Cytric will also enhance travel managers’ ability to track and optimise hotel spending and policy compliance through Emburse Reshop’s analytics and reporting tools. This will provide greater visibility and control over travel programs, helping identify and implement cost-saving opportunities.
Mark Cullen, Chief Commercial Officer at Amadeus Cytric Solutions, highlighted the importance of this collaboration: “Business travel represents a significant expense for many companies. This integration offers a chance to optimise travel programs and reduce costs. Emburse and Cytric, both leading travel solutions providers, offer smart and flexible tools for managing travel bookings, policies, and preferences. We are thrilled to expand our joint offering.”
Cytric’s platform allows travellers to book flights, hotels, cars and trains from a single interface. With Cytric Easy, users can access their travel itineraries, documents and notifications on Microsoft Teams. The tool integrates seamlessly with travellers’ calendars, email and corporate policies, providing real-time updates on travel disruptions, delays and alternatives.
The Emburse Reshop and Cytric integration was unveiled at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Convention 2024 in Atlanta. This development represents the next step in the broader partnership between these two travel technology leaders, aiming to enhance corporate travel management and cost efficiency.
