DALLAS and CHICAGO- August 5, 2019 - Traxo, the leader in travel data aggregation and itinerary intelligence, and DVI, the leader in data science and data visualization solutions for corporate travel management, announced today at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) annual convention a partnership to integrate off-channel booking data into DVI's suite of data visualization intelligence tools, enabling powerful insights and proactive spend management capability for mutual corporate clients of Traxo and DVI who struggle with program leakage.

This new integration leverages Traxo CONNECT's data aggregation platform for automatically capturing critical itinerary and cost details for corporate travel bookings, particularly those "off-channel" bookings made directly with travel suppliers or other online travel agencies (OTAs), which are invisible to traditional travel management (TMC) reporting tools. Companies using Traxo CONNECT to aggregate their corporate travel booking data can now choose to have that data automatically linked to their DVI dashboard, providing instant, detailed visibility into program leakage.

"Partnering with Traxo gives DVI clients instant insights and powerful visualization tools to proactively tackle their program leakage, instead of having to wait for expense reports or credit card data," noted DVI President, Brian Beard. "This level of real-time visibility empowers travel managers in a whole new way, making travel program compliance tracking, supplier negotiations, and spend management easier than ever.

"One of our goals at DVI is to make access to travel data easier, more efficient and to show the whole spend, not just a portion of travel spend," Beard continued. "The days of using twentieth century reporting technology are numbered. Data was meant to be presented visually and the combination of Traxo and DVI makes this possible."

Traxo Founder and CEO Andres Fabris added, "DVI's visualization tools provide companies with unparalleled insights into how their corporate travel programs are performing, and now with Traxo's collaboration we are helping extend those valuable insights to a company's off-channel spend as well. Integrating program leakage data from Traxo CONNECT into DVI's suite of reporting tools in real time eliminates the blind spots in a company's overall business travel spend, empowering travel managers, accounting and financial analysts, and procurement teams to optimize their travel programs and capture incremental savings opportunities."

Traxo CONNECT clients can enroll with DVI to take advantage of these new data visualization tools for program leakage. For DVI clients interested in capturing program leakage data, they can sign up with Traxo CONNECT.
