TROOP, the meeting, planning and group travel logistics platform, has announced a new strategic partnership with corporate travel agency Direct Travel to extend its meeting management technology to new and existing customers of the corporate travel management company.
Dennis Vilovic, co-founder, and CEO of TROOP said: “Considering that meetings and events account for more than 50% of corporate travel, TROOP is perfectly positioned to inspire, streamline, and improve the meeting organisation process for everyone from meeting planners to business travellers to corporate finance teams.”
TROOP is a remote-only company with operations in the US, Spain, South Africa, and the UK.
Direct Travel was recently acquired by an investment group led by Steve Singh, managing director at Madrona and the former chairman and CEO of Concur.
Embarking on creating the global standard for the ‘perfect trip’, TROOP, travel-as-a-service platform Spotnana, and card-first-expense management platform Center will form an integrated workflow for planning, booking, managing, and expensing group meetings and events for Direct Travel customers.
Steve Singh, executive chairman of Direct Travel, said: “TROOP’s meetings and events platform will be a critical component of Direct Travel’s strategy to drive a delightful meetings and events experience and to save our customers time and money.”
