Egencia’s end-to-end travel management platform continues to provide leading business travel support to customers

London, UK—13 February 2023—Egencia, the only proven B2B travel tech platform, announced today that it has been named a Leader for the second time in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Corporate Travel Booking Applications 2022-2023 Vendor Assessment1. Egencia was also named a Leader in the 2019 IDC MarketScape assessment2.

Egencia was recognised for its large pool of business travel data3 which powers product innovation and global capabilities. The IDC MarketScape also noted: ‘Egencia’s 10+ years of historical data to build a data-led, intuitive product experience for its customers within a dynamic marketplace. With over 35 million transactions over the past three years, the scale and depth of data on its platform enables Egencia to embed machine learning and AI into the user experience’.

John Sturino, VP Product & Technology, Egencia, said: ‘Companies want a platform that empowers them to expertly manage their programmes and proves the value of their TMC, while bringing the benefits of consumer-grade experiences to business travellers. We believe this recognition by the IDC MarketScape is a strong affirmation that Egencia is not only meeting those evolving needs, but empowering customers and travellers to get the most out of business travel’.

The IDC MarketScape evaluated nine companies in the corporate travel booking applications space, assessing each one with the same set of capabilities and strategies. The report highlights Egencia’s global travel coverage in more than 60 countries and its partners in more than 30,000 cities across 200 countries. In addition to air, hotel and car, Egencia customers can book rail online in the United States, the United Kingdom, Norway and major European Union (EU) countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Kevin Permenter, Research Director, IDC, said: ‘Egencia’s focus on user experiences, extensive travel content and dedicated service helps fuel its data-led product innovation. Egencia applies real-time data and embeds machine learning and AI into its customer experience. Organisations looking for a travel platform with global scale and access to tightly integrated business travel tools, features and data should certainly consider Egencia’.

Customer Satisfaction Award

Egencia placed in the highest-scoring group of vendors for customer satisfaction ratings in Travel and Expense. Egencia was recognised for delivering substantial value to its clients and continuing to innovate to meet evolving customer expectations. The ratings are based on IDC’s global SaaSPath survey of approximately 2,400 organisations across all geographic regions and company sizes, where customers were asked to rate their vendor on more than 30 different customer satisfaction metrics.

Egencia is well-suited for organisations looking for a proven, all-in-one, configurable travel tech platform that can meet their needs and grow with them as requirements change and as they expand globally.
