Rocketrip motivates cost-conscious behavior by rewarding travelers for saving on their flights, hotels, trains, and rental cars, while also increasing compliance through preferred channels. Before each trip, travelers are provided with a customized “Budget to Beat” based on their company’s travel policy, negotiated rates, and real-time market inventory. Travelers who book under budget earn half of the savings they generate to spend on things they truly value.
“It’s great to see one of the top players in the travel management space embrace Rocketrip’s Incentivized Behavioral Change solution,” said Dan Ruch, CEO at Rocketrip. “We’re excited to partner with Direct Travel to drive a culture of cost sensitivity and return tremendous value back to clients.”
Through this human-centric approach to travel management, travelers can help reduce their company’s travel spend by 20-30%. Additionally, the platform integrates seamlessly with Direct Travel, the OBT, and the expense system—meaning there is no change to the booking, ticketing, and reconciliation workflow.
“We work with our clients to survey the entire scope of their travel program and go beyond the obvious travel savings opportunities,” said Ed Adams, CEO at Direct Travel. “Partnering with Rocketrip helps Direct Travel to further this goal by introducing a powerful, industry-first solution to make cost reduction a win-win for our clients and their employees.”
Developed in 2013, Rocketrip is the only behavioral change solution designed for managed travel programs. Rocketrip is already making waves in the industry, winning Concur Travel’s 2017 Concur App Center Partner of the Year for Innovation—and has been featured prominently in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, USA Today, Forbes, Inc.,TechCrunch, among many others.
The alliance further demonstrates Direct Travel’s drive to help clients stay ahead of the ever-accelerating pace of business travel.
