Tuesday, July 9, 2024

Cytric, the corporate booking tool from Amadeus, has expanded its rail services for business travelers by entering a new partnership with Trainline.

This collaboration enhances the availability of UK rail operator content for corporate travelers through the integration of Trainline’s global API into Cytric’s travel management system.

Continuously leading in corporate travel innovation, Cytric is dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art solutions that adapt to the dynamic requirements of business travelers. This recent integration includes features such as mobile ticketing (eTickets), and upcoming versions of Cytric will support ticket refunds, cancellations, and split ticketing options.

The enhancement through this upgraded API positions Cytric to effectively add more rail carriers to its system, providing corporate travelers with broader access to a vast array of routes and destinations.

Additionally, Trainline Partner Solutions offers services to travel management companies, businesses of varying sizes, and rail carriers through Platform One, Trainline’s comprehensive rail distribution platform that connects to over 270 rail and coach operators across 40 countries.

Andrew Cruttenden, General Manager, Trainline Partner Solutions, says, “We are delighted to sign this partnership with Amadeus. As we integrate our offering with Cytric, corporate travelers will have enhanced access to our extensive network of routes and destinations across the UK – helping to make the sustainable travel option of rail a more attractive choice.”

Amadeus, a prominent provider of corporate travel solutions, is dedicated to enhancing rail travel experiences for its global corporate clients. Leveraging a mix of direct connections and innovative technology providers, Cytric consistently expands and enriches its offering of rail content, aiming to meet and exceed the travel needs of businesses worldwide.

The deal will see Cytric, our corporate travel booking solution, introduce the upgraded API from Trainline for services across the UK. This enhancement marks a significant step forward in our ambition to provide seamless and efficient access to a diverse range of rail carriers.”
