Cleartrip has launched a new corporate travel management product – Out of Office (OOO). This corporate travel booking tool is designed to empower small, medium and large enterprises.
The platform enables a seamless configuration to cater to the unique requirements of large enterprises and SME clients. The core principle of OOO’s approach is to enable the travel behaviour of every business.
Early-stage adopters of the OOO platform include firms like The Federal Bank, Sify Technologies, MGM Healthcare, Sterlite Power Transmission and ACC. Key features that make OOO stand out amongst its peers include the ability to change or build policies in real-time, integrated travel expense with travel offerings, the ability to access self-contracted corporate fares, real-time invoice and reconciliation engine. A native app for IOS andandroid is due to be released shortly.
Speaking on the development, Ayyappan R, CEO, Cleartrip, stated, “As businesses worldwide experience a notable resurgence, we observed an unprecedented spike in the demand for corporate travel. In this scenario, OOO emerges as a pivotal solution. Unlike conventional platforms, it provides an end-to-end travel experience, user-centric interface, policy adherence and cost-effectiveness—all in one comprehensive package. OOO caters not just to the current demand surge, but also helps redefine how businesses approach corporate travel.”
OOO is a plug-and-play solution that adapts to organisational needs quickly. It can manage multiple booking behaviours (self-booking, travel desk booking) and multiple entities in a single instance. The focus of the tool is 30 per cent on bookings and 70 per cent on policy adherence. Notably, the tool addresses a common pain point for corporates by enabling the procurement of hotel invoices.
Large enterprises can access savings through the GST billing function.
