Mumbai-based travel agency Cleartrip has forayed into the travel space with its new corporate travel management product, Out of Office (OOO), that is designed to empower small, medium and large enterprises.

Cleartrip, a travel firm owned by ecommerce giant Flipkart, has reported good response to its recently-launched corporate travel management product, Out of Office (OOO).

In a press statement, Cleartrip says that the corporate travel booking tool OOO is designed to empower small, medium, and large enterprises, adding that with 300 SMEs onboarded and 10 large and enterprise corporations actively transacting, the platform is processing a monthly business volume of INR 200 million. 

It adds that OOO is a plug-and-play solution that adapts to organisational needs quickly. It can manage multiple booking behaviours like self-booking, travel desk booking and multiple entities in a single instance. 

The focus of the tool is 30 pc on bookings and 70 pc on policy adherence. Notably, the tool addresses a common pain point for corporates by enabling the procurement of hotel invoices, the statement adds.

It says that the platform’s flexible architecture and user interface design enables a seamless configuration to cater to the unique requirements of large enterprises and SME clients. The core principle of OOO’s approach is to enable the unique travel behaviour of every business.

Cleartrip says that early-stage adopters of the OOO platform include firms like Federal Bank, Sify Technologies, MGM Healthcare, Sterlite Power Transmission and ACC. 

According to the statement, key features that make OOO stand out amongst its peers include the ability to change or build policies in real-time, integrated travel expense with travel offerings, the ability to access self-contracted corporate fares, real-time invoice and reconciliation engine. A native app for IOS and Android is due to be released shortly.

“As businesses worldwide experience a notable resurgence, we observed an unprecedented spike in the demand for corporate travel. In this scenario, ‘Out of Office’ (OOO) emerges as a pivotal solution. Unlike conventional platforms, it provides an end-to-end travel experience, user-centric interface, policy adherence, and cost-effectiveness, all in one comprehensive package. OOO caters not just to the current demand surge but also helps redefine how businesses approach corporate travel,’’ says Ayyappan R, CEO, Cleartrip.
