John Sturino, Egencia’s VP Product & Technology, said: “Business travel is rebounding quickly, and the rapid pace of this return has put stress on the entire travel eco-system causing significantly high call volumes. Our Slack integration with Egencia Chat could not come at a better time when travelers need more self-service choices the most. We’re committed to using AI and ML to constantly improve the process of both arranging and managing business trips on the road. We want our customers to have a smooth, seamless experience in whatever platform they are already using, and Slack is the first of many initiatives we have planned to achieve that.”

Slack pilot customer, Kristin Neibert, said: “Our teams use Slack by default to communicate. Adding tasks that we can accomplish within Slack brings welcome efficiencies. If colleagues are using Slack to discuss where to stay on a business trip, we can just search for the best hotel within Slack and book it there and then. And if plans change, you don’t have to pick up a phone, go on hold, play phone tag, or wait for a support email. Our teams love the convenience and ability to self-serve while they’re on the road and our managers are confident any issues will be resolved by the AI-powered virtual agent or an Egencia travel consultant, all within a tool we’re already using.”

Egencia will be at the Business Travel Show in London at booth G41 on June 29-30, 2022.
