Christopherson Business Travel announced that it has launched Andavo, which it calls a modern, fully integrated travel management platform for business travelers, travel managers and travel advisors. Andavo, said the announcement, “will provide simple and elegant experiences that embody Christopherson’s legacy of human-centered design in service and technology.”

Josh Cameron, chief strategy officer, said the new platform is “software and a service — you no longer have to choose between technology or service.” He added, “Like many industries before ours, the renaissance of corporate travel is here, and we’re excited to be leading the way through it.”

Christopherson will be releasing Andavo in phases over the next several months to new and existing customers. The first phase will include the company’s traveler app, which integrates with multiple booking tools. The app will give users the tools they need for smooth business trips, such as the ability to manage itineraries; receive real-time itinerary updates, including a streaming feed of aircraft telemetry and flight status data to help manage flight disruptions; easily update loyalty numbers and personal travel preferences; and coordinate trips with fellow travelers.

Along with the traveler app, Christopherson will release the Andavo developer portal. This will provide access and documentation to custom APIs for clients to conveniently access their travel-related data and for developers to build custom integrations with the Andavo platform.

Chad Maughan, chief technology officer, said Andavo “provides a post-PNR [passenger name record] modern trip management framework and paves the way for enhanced AI-powered travel experiences.” The Andavo app “is the first manifestation of this platform,” he said.
