Product update: Carbon Footprint Reporting Is Now Available!

Last Updated on: September 24, 2024 at 10:24 am

We’re closing in on Q4, and we’re excited to announce a significant push in some of our core services, with the most notable being the brand-new CO2 reporting feature. In addition, we’ve introduced new hotel policies, upgraded user management, and made enhancements across all reporting pages.

1. Carbon Footprint Reports (1st version):

As sustainable travel and CO2 reduction become increasingly important, we’ve introduced Carbon Footprint Reports to help you measure and manage your company’s environmental impact.

How it works:
Kami bekerjasama dengan Squake to provide you with accurate CO2 data for all travel. This allows you to choose how to report on travel distance, as well as the CO2 units and calculation methods used.

Once the Carbon Footprint report is setup, you’ll have access to a CSV file with CO2 calculation per flight leg and hotel stay. You can read more here: Setting up the Carbon Footprint report.

• The CO2 Report is available exclusively to customers on a paid plan. Reach out to your account manager or our travel team once you’re ready to get started.
• In the future, we’ll introduce a dashboard on the web app that will allow you to view all CO2 emissions data directly from the app (and, of course, download the CSV file).

2. Upgraded Accommodation Policies:

We’ve made significant enhancements to our accommodation policies, allowing you to set more specific restrictions for hotel bookings based on booking duration, accommodation type, nights of the week, and review scores.

• Booking Duration: Require approval after a maximum number of nights per booking.
• Accommodation Type: Hide or restrict bookings for homes, apartments, or other non-hotel accommodation types.
• Nights of the Week: Encourage your team members to avoid booking on certain days by making sure bookings on other days are auto-approved.
• Review Score: Hide or restrict accommodations with lower review scores.

3. Improved User and Group Management:

In case you haven’t noticed yet, we made it a lot easier to manage users and groups with upgraded filters, status indicators and restructured columns.

4. Labels enhancements

Previously labels could only be added from the trips page (when looking at your own trip). We added a few valuable improvements to this,

• You can now add labels when making or requesting a booking (instead of after the booking)
• Labels can be forced/required for all bookings. Ensuring that all bookings have a label attached to them.
• When approving a booking (as a manager/super-admin), you can still change or add the label related to this booking.

5. Other Improvements

We’ve made some smaller improvements to further optimize your TruTrip experience:

• Upgraded booking & transactions reports – We’ve made these reports more intuitive by always exposing booking IDs and invoice numbers, and adding search bars to all pages.
• Manage guest users – “Guests” can now be added by travelers (typically used for adding family members to a trip). Until now, super-admins did not have visibility on guests in the platform. We’ve added the option to view, edit, and even upgrade guest users.
• Better visibility on credit account status information (payment method page) – We’ve made it clearer to see the credit balance, max amount, invoice frequency, and terms and fees for credit accounts on the payment methods page.

We aim to make your travel booking experience with TruTrip even more seamless with these updates. We’re always working on improving, so keep an eye out for more exciting features coming your way.
