Datalex technology powers Atlas Travel’s innovative new corporate travel website

flytowork.ie adds new dimension to corporate travel management in Ireland

Business travellers can now save up to 35 percent on business flights with flytowork.ie, the new Irish corporate travel Website, launched this week by Travel Management Solutions, the e-Commerce subsidiary of the Atlas Travel Group.

Based on the latest Internet booking engine technology from Datalex (ISE: DLE; OTC: DLEXY), flytowork.ie is the corporate world’s answer to faster, easier and more cost-effective travel procurement. Following the success of the leisure travel portal GoHop.ie previously launched by Atlas Travel, flytowork.ie was designed specifically to lower the cost of purchasing corporate travel and also to simplify the lives of travel managers and personal assistants who book travel for larger corporations.

Internet-based travel is particularly well suited to the corporate market, as it allows the discerning business traveller to quickly and efficiently match their exact travel requirements 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the click of a button. The flexibility of the Datalex Internet booking and fares solution enables flytowork.ie to offer best-fare shopping using both low-cost and scheduled airlines in addition to a wide range of accommodation and car-hire options with online reservations facilities.

“Travel Management Solutions is a dynamic organization, which is continually seeking new innovations to cater for the diverse needs of the leisure and business traveller,” said Aidan Brogan, VP sales and marketing, EMEA, Datalex. “Our booking engine technology platform utilizes open standards and provides a complete range of back-end connectivity options to enable a corporate travel agency, such as Atlas Travel, to provide the widest range of travel options for its business clients.”

Full trip planning and traveller profile management capabilities ensures even more complex business trips can be easily catered for online, such as those that compare multiple modes of transport and fares from many different sources. A user-friendly interface and straightforward help functions guide users through bookings swiftly and efficiently. Experienced and dedicated corporate reservation agents are only a phone call away to further aid in booking requirements where necessary.

“As part of the Atlas Travel Group, flytowork.ie is the culmination of the group’s longstanding experience and proven track record in corporate travel management. Flytowork.ie has been developed using the most advanced travel technology provided by Datalex,” said Brian Dent, MD, Travel Management Solutions, speaking about this exciting new innovation. “We believe that this latest venture will leapfrog any similar offering available from competitors in the Irish market. Flytowork.ie’s launch further consolidates Atlas Travel as the leader in Irish travel based e-Commerce.”
