Aberdeen-based Onboard Tracker™ has announced a collaboration with leading corporate travel company ATPI in a move that has been heralded as a ‘game changer’ for the offshore travel sector.
Onboard Tracker™ is the leading crew management software for the Energy, Renewables and Marine sectors. The online operations hub, developed by leading digital tech company Solab IT Services, tracks over 100,000 Energy, Renewables and Marine personnel, in over 110 countries, across 8000+ on and offshore sites.
Built by industry for industry, the software manages a suite of crewing related operations and thanks to the newly announced partnership agreement with ATPI, a new centralised system for requesting and tracking every stage of offshore travel has been launched to automate manual tasks into one streamlined, digital and bespoke ‘travel hub’.
ATPI is a global specialist in marine and energy sector travel and, as part of the exclusive collaboration agreement, the existing Onboard Tracker™ Travel Request Module will now utilise ATPI’s bespoke services for integrated travel logistics.
The new connected Travel Request Module provides a single, intelligent hub to monitor the Travel Request and Booking process from start to finish. Providing vital Travel Information to both the travel agent and the traveller themselves, and available on any device.
Some of the key benefits will include more visibility leading to faster booking processes, eliminating the need for time intensive manual input. By leveraging a new integrated process with ATPI’s travel experts, Onboard Tracker™ expects to significantly reduce time on bookings, leading to significant cost savings for its clients including major global names like Subsea 7 who currently use Solab’s online hub for key operations including Global Personnel Logistics & Planning, Crew Rotations, Training, Certification and Competence.
Kevin Coll, Onboard Tracker™ founder, said, “Our strategic partnership with ATPI is the perfect example of industry collaboration leading to enhanced digital efficiencies and cost savings for clients. A culmination of our combined expertise will allow us to continue developing cutting-edge solutions for the energy and renewables sectors.
“We’ve been working hard on this project for two years with the experienced and knowledge team at ATPI for what we hope will be just the first step towards future growth through progressive technology between our two companies.”
Adam Knights, ATPI Regional Managing Director, Europe & Middle East, said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Onboard Tracker™ to offer the benefits of a connected and bespoke corporate travel management system to a client base that aligns so closely with our own.
“This partnership is set to be a game changer. By integrating our technology with Onboard Tracker™, we have filled a key functionality gap, allowing for seamless travel booking and management. This end-to-end solution streamlines travel bookings, creating a solution the global energy and shipping sectors have been waiting for.
“We look forward to continued success and global scalability with the team at Onboard Tracker™.”
