AlertMedia’s Travel Risk Management, now available in the BCD Travel marketplace, enables joint customers to prepare, protect, and communicate with business travelers through a single interface

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AlertMedia, the world’s leading provider of threat intelligence, emergency communication, and travel risk management solutions, today announced a new integration with BCD Travel, one of the world’s largest corporate travel management companies.


Through this integration, joint AlertMedia-BCD customers can now automatically sync travel data from BCD into AlertMedia’s Travel Risk Management solution, providing risk and security teams with a real-time view of employees’ locations while traveling for work. Joint customers will have access to a powerful suite of tools to prepare employees ahead of business trips, monitor emerging risks, and respond quickly to keep travelers out of harm’s way.

“Managing corporate travel risk is a massive challenge for organizations as business travel returns in an increasingly volatile world,” said Christopher Kenessey, CEO for AlertMedia. “Through our integration with BCD, we’re thrilled to offer security teams a comprehensive solution to monitor planned trips, mitigate risks, and stay connected with traveling employees, wherever they are.”

The turnkey integration is available to customers worldwide and drastically reduces the time required to identify, correlate, and respond to travel risks that may impact active or upcoming trips. Traveler information is seamlessly transferred from BCD into the AlertMedia platform, allowing risk managers to view current trip details and monitor risks around the traveler’s location.

Additional benefits of the AlertMedia-BCD integration include:

  • Frictionless travel data management: Unify travel safety and risk management workflows within a single pane of glass to enable faster, more consistent response processes.
  • Accurate, non-invasive location monitoring: Know where your traveling employees are at all times and their proximity to emerging risks with the AlertMedia mobile app and powerful mapping features.
  • Automatic, multichannel notifications to at-risk travelers: Accelerate response times to critical events with automated, multichannel notifications sent directly to impacted travelers or security teams.

AlertMedia’s Travel Risk Management is now available in the BCD marketplace.
