Paris, France, July 18, 2002 - Traveldoo Technologies, the European provider of electronic travel management solutions today announced that it has integrated Maporama's online location-centric services into its software solutions Traveldoo ShopSite™, Traveldoo Portal™ and Traveldoo Mobile™. Maporama is the leading provider of online location-centric solutions.
Traveldoo solutions provides online business travel planning and booking capabilities, dynamic policy management, travel supplier relationship management and travel spending intelligence services. The integration of personalised location-centric functionality makes it easier for travellers and travel arrangers to plan business trips. Traveldoo's customers have now the ability to visualise on a single map, in a single click, company's preferred hotel properties, meeting places, customers, partners and company offices. Before going on a trip, travellers can print and download onto their PDA's maps related to the details of their reservations (flights, trains, hotel rooms, car rentals). Travellers on the move will benefit from additional innovations as personalised and actionable mobile location-centric content.
For the incorporation of Maporama's location-centric features within its products, Traveldoo opted for Maporama Application Programming Interface Library (MAPIL), a very complete library of programming interfaces allowing for the development of innovative location-centric applications as well as for seamless access to the market's most exhaustive database containing detailed street level maps of cities across four continents.
"As an innovative player on its market, Traveldoo chose a product guaranteeing a total freedom in terms of integration of geocentric features within its products. This new reference confirms the great competitive advantage our products offer," said Laurent Vermot-Gauchy, Maporama's CEO.
"Thanks to Maporama and its highly-flexible interfaces, we have been able to rapidly deliver a business trip planning process enriched with adaptable map and location information services," said Olivier Mindren, Vice President, Marketing, Traveldoo.
