Delivering improved efficiencies to customers, ATPI recently announced further developments to its Employee Tracking System (ETS) with new features aimed to deliver more sophisticated duty of care programmes for travellers. The technology offers ATPI clients a host of benefits, including access to detailed pre-trip and en-route travel data, enabling the user to review traveller destinations and research security and health information on a case-by-case basis, to ensure employees are fully prepared before they travel. If a security alert arises, ETS’ flight plan reports, passenger location reports and hotels reports identify travellers who are due to arrive in the affected country, or are already at that destination. One of the latest features of ETS is an interactive map showing traveller population density so that you can see instantly if you have employees in a specific area.
