TripStax is partnering with travel management company AI technology Grapevine for an API integration that will speed up Grapevine implementation for mutual TMC clients.
Per the agreement, TripStax is integrating Grapevine within its “Core” data processor that manages profile, booking and finance data across TripStax’s modules. That will make it “incredibly easy for our mutual TMC clients to switch on this innovative AI tech solution,” according to TripStax CEO Jack Ramsey, and it also will provide TMCs access to Grapevine booking data.
Grapevine, the judges’ choice winner at BTN’s 2021 Innovation Faceoff, gives travelers targeted booking recommendations, such as for hotels or ancillaries, that are within a company’s travel policy. The company is in “late-stage negotiations to provide Grapevine to several TMCs who are also clients of TripStax,” according to Grapevine CEO Jack Dow.
