Automated Trip Alerts provide up-to-the-minute itinerary information—such as flight changes, delays and cancellations—via email, SMS and push notification to the GOvation mobile app.
Travelers also receive automated Travel Risk Alerts with critical information (e.g., transportation, health, weather, security) that may impact their specific travel plans.
Our client contacts then receive automated Traveler Tracking Alerts when any of their travelers, or offices, are potentially affected by world events. These alerts outline the specific risk in a destination and list all travelers booked via Ovation and their itineraries.
Ovation provides an optional 24/7 web-based duty of care tool, OTECH Risk, that enables users to quickly preview through geographical representation, travel, security and weather details. Locate travelers on the road, including en route changes and flight tracking, with comprehensive views of itineraries. Identify “hot spots” (security, weather and health threats) via a global map interface. Access drill-down information on your employees in hot-spot locations.
