FCm Travel Solutions has partnered with UK-based Mantic Point to introduce ‘FCm Mobile’, an integrated mobile phone solution for the global travel management company’s corporate travellers worldwide.
The solution allows FCm’s travel teams to stay in touch with clients while they are on the move, providing up-to-the-minute information via their mobile devices.
Katie Thomas, Global Product Manager Traveller Services, FCm Travel Solutions, said: “We are excited about launching FCm Mobile and delighted to be working with Mantic Point. After an extensive review we found Mantic Point could meet all of our commercial and technology objectives, and customer requirements for traveller mobile services. This is a fully integrated product within FCm’s suite of global technology tools and not simply a resale of an existing mobile solution on the market.
“FCm Mobile, using the Mantic Point platform, has the ability to integrate with external databases, GDS systems and provides multi-language capability. It provides FCm with a globally consistent application to ensure business travel for our customers is quick, easy and instantly accessible.
“When we launch FCm Mobile our customers will not only have all of their travel information at their fingertips but those using the FCm Portal product will be able to access both tools with the same login details. Down the track users will have consistent content across both products.”
It is anticipated that the mobile app will be launched across most major regions within FCm’s network in the next few months, with the travel management company now in the final testing phase.
“Right now we are testing with clients. We are also in the process of revising the look and feel of the app and processes involved with loading traveller data globally from multiple markets. Integration of the tool with the FCm Portal product is also well underway.”
