Christopherson Travel Group launches ticketTrack technology

March 29, 2004, Salt Lake City - Christopherson Travel Group (CTG) has implemented proprietary software?ticketTrack?to track unused pre-paid electronic airline tickets for their business travelers. This automated process gives business travel clients the opportunity to recover thousands of dollars in travel expenses. "ticketTrack technology gives our business travel clients the opportunity to recover thousands of dollars in travel expenses," said Chad Maughn, Information Technology Manager.

E-tickets are the reality of modern travel and accurately finding and tracking unused e-tickets is important for businesses seeking to cut costs and eliminate waste. Industry experts estimate that 5% of non-refundable tickets bought by companies are never used. Some companies estimate their non-use rate as high as 20%. Christopherson?s new ticketTrack system will notify, track, and organize their client?s unused airline tickets. ticketTrack?s features:

  • ticketTrack logs into the database of every ticket issued by Christopherson?s reservation center and through client on-site locations
  • ticketTrack automatically notifies business travelers by e-mail 72 hours in advance of their flight if they have a non-refundable ticket
  • ticketTrack locates any tickets unused for travel that day and sends an alert to the issuing agent
  • ticketTrack enters the unused ticket into CTG?s on-line reporting system where business clients can check the value of the unused ticket, the expiration date, reissue fees, explanation why travel was cancelled, etc.
  • Prompts the travel consultant when a future booking is made to exchange the unused ticket rather than sacrifice its value
