KDS has partnered with Addison Lee, a leading minicab company operating in 350 cities worldwide, bringing over 4,800 taxis and chauffeured cars to the service of KDS Neo users when travelling on business.

Users can now view Addison Lee’s services as part of their bookable itinerary, tightly integrated with other trip elements such as flights, hotels and public transport. Once the traveller books their business trip, they can rest assured they’ll be met at the right time and place by their Addison Lee driver for onward transit.

“Providing a seamless customer experience for our passengers is at the heart of what we do at Addison Lee and this is why we are really excited to be partnering with KDS," said Peter Boucher, chief commercial officer for Addison Lee. “This is an important partnership for expense and we expect this to be of huge benefit to our customers.”

He continued: "As part of our ongoing growth strategy at Addison Lee we are always looking for additional ways to compliment our high quality service, our partnership with KDS is an ideal way to offer the ultimate user experience."

There will be no surprise when it comes to the fare, since KDS Neo presents Addison Lee’s fixed price within the itinerary details and adds it automatically to the expense report. The user’s finance department is kept happy too, since they have access in advance to planned travel expenses as well as to historical cost data for planning and budgeting purposes.

KDS Neo is a door-to-door travel booking and expense management solution that eases the life of corporate travellers and encourages compliance with corporate policies. It delivers complete, bookable, door-to-door itineraries and also predicts related expenses. Neo includes a calendar-based interface and auto-expense feature that lets users complete expense claims in seconds if their company activates this option.
