MasterCard has signed an agreement with Amadeus to deliver high quality ticketing data to its corporate card holders from travel agents around the globe.
Under the deal, cardholders will be able to access airline and rail itinerary data - including costs, travel dates, destinations, authorisation codes and coupon numbers - from any travel agent using Amadeus' specialised GDS via a central data feed.
The data can be then electronically exported to the company's internal travel and expense procurement system via MasterCard Smart Data Online. MasterCard Smart Data OnLine is a global Web-based reporting application that helps organisations consolidate, analyse and manage financial data, including card and cash transactions.
