Users can summon an Egencia Travel Consultant by tapping their watch whenever they need help.
The app also includes features built for other devices, including Egencia AssistMe and its ground transportation guide with the Citymapper and Uber API integration, originally built for mobile.
Apps for Apple Watch and Android Wear are now available in the App Store and Google Play.
