U.K.-based corporate travel management company
Reed & Mackay has launched an app for smartphones and tablets called
R&M/Mobile. With its booking capability, travelers can begin a search on
one device and finish booking on another, including on the TMC's existing
desktop online booking tool. The app notifies travelers when their boarding
passes become available within the Reed & Mackay system and when their
airplane seats or hotel rooms have been upgraded. The app also displays the
traveler's itinerary and enables in-app flight check-in. Travel arrangers,
meanwhile, can use one account to manage multiple travelers' trips.
The company also appointed John Keichline to the new
position of USA CEO to accelerate expansion in the region. He previously worked
at marketing and communications company Williams Lea Tag as managing director
of the financial services and life sciences practices.
