The FINANCIAL — American Express announced new technology capabilities to help make travel easier for today's well-connected corporate traveler while also encouraging alignment with a company's strategic travel and expense program.
The capabilities include a new platform that leverages social gaming mechanics to reward policy-adherent traveler behaviors; an integration with TripCase; a new capability that updates Corporate Card charges in near real-time so travelers can manage expenses on-the-go; and a new traveler-facing mobile interface for American Express's duty of care solution, AX CONNECT, according to American Express Company.
