Leading travel management company will offer Cytric Easy, the only travel and expense tool embedded into Microsoft Teams
DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gant Travel has expanded its relationship with Amadeus, the innovative travel technology provider which continues to grow its presence in North America. The travel management company (TMC) will offer both Cytric Travel and Cytric Easy to its corporate travelers, enhancing their booking opportunities.
Following the signing, Indiana-based Gant Travel will have the opportunity to offer customers the unique benefit of having all daily travel planning tools in one workspace. Using the Cytric Easy integration with Microsoft, the solution offers a single location to search, compare or book a hotel, flight or car rental – without ever leaving Microsoft Teams. Users will have the ability to share trip information enabling better connections and collaborations in teams.
Patrick Linnihan, Chief Executive, Gant Travel, said: "We launched our partnership with Amadeus in 2020, trusting the global travel technology leader to offer us the solutions we required to develop our business – and we have not looked back. We are excited to be able to offer Cytric by Amadeus to our customers, allowing us to provide an advanced future proof technological solution."
Incorporating Cytric Easy into the Gant Travel offering will allow customers the access to comprehensive content, including all content from the Amadeus Travel Platform. The integration will provide corporate customers with instant access to the widest range of fares, without the need to worry about how the content has been sourced, be it through NDC or EDIFACT.
At the same time, following the official announcement of the Cytric by Amadeus and Emburse strategic partnership, Gant will become the first TMC to offer the integrated end-to-end solution to its customers. This partnership ensures a seamless experience for corporate travelers from trip planning and booking, through to expense reporting, reconciliation, reimbursements and spend analytics.
Deborah Mahoney, Head of Sales and Business Development Americas at Amadeus Cytric Solutions, added: "Gant Travel is recognized as one of the most technologically progressive organizations in the TMC space and we are thrilled to expand our relationship. So far in 2023, Gant has already surpassed its full-year 2022 booking volume through Amadeus' platforms. The expanded partnership unveiled today will allow this figure to grow even further."
