New “ongoing” filter for Company Trips

To improve trip filtering, the “Online Trips” tab now includes a new “Ongoing” filter. By default, “Upcoming” is selected. The “Ongoing” filter displays only Company Trips that are currently in progress, meaning the “StartDate” is before today and the “EndDate” is after today. This enhancement provides a convenient way to easily view and manage active Company Trips.

New savings reason codes without default selection

This release introduces a new configuration option for missed savings. When enabled, this setting requires users to explicitly select a reason code for missed savings on the cart view. Additionally, a new checkbox “no default code” allows companies to enforce the selection of a reason code by users, preventing the automatic selection of a default code. This change is providing greater flexibility and control.

Air cancel and modify available for travelers

Travelers can now easily modify or cancel their own air bookings (both single and multi-pax trips) directly within the system. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and control for travelers, mirroring the existing functionality for rail bookings.

SNCF reference and seat number in the ics invitations

We have enhanced calendar invitations for rail bookings made with SNCF by providing additional information. Travelers will now see the train reference number and selected seat number included in the invitation.

Improved role management for nominated Approvers/Arrangers

We provided an enhancement to role management by ensuring consistent handling of Nominated Approvers/Arrangers when user roles are modified.

When a user’s role is removed and that role includes Approver or Arranger privileges, the system will automatically deactivate the user’s status as a Nominated Approver/Arranger for any associated travelers.

During manual role updates, a clear warning message will be displayed if the user is assigned as a Nominated Approver/Arranger, informing them that removing the current role will also remove their Nominated Approver/Arranger assignments (“The user is assigned a nominated approver/arranger. Approving the operation will delete the nominated approver/arranger traveler assignment. Do you want to continue?”).

Enhanced profile management across Business Units

A new “Profile Uniqueness” configuration option has been introduced to improve profile management during user imports. This enhancement allows for greater flexibility, especially for clients who may not always provide Business Unit and Current Business Unit information. The default setting remains “ByBusinessUnit,” ensuring compatibility for existing workflows.

Split multipax booking per pax

Currently, when users make reservations for multiple travelers, the system processes the booking under a single reservation number. This means all travelers share the same reservation, making it impossible to cancel for individual passengers (pax).

With this enhancement, each traveler will receive a separate reservation in the hotel system. This allows for an individual cancellation of bookings for each traveler and greater flexibility in managing group reservations.

The feature also supports the requirement to send MCTO data separately for each traveler on the CDS side, ensuring streamlined processes and accurate reporting.

Important Note:
Due to the significant impact this feature has on the booking process, we recommend testing it initially with a limited number of clients to ensure smooth implementation and to identify any potential issues early.

Analytical fields for payment method filtering in trip type fields

We have extended the functionality of analytical fields to include Trip type fields, providing greater flexibility and control for managing company-specific configurations. Analytical fields can now be used to filter the form of payment field by Trip Reason, allowing for more granular control over payment options and reducing potential user errors. Thanks to a new checkbox, “Use for company profile merge,” which has been added to the configuration tool for Traveller type analytical fields, companies can designate one specific field for company profile merging.

These enhancements provide greater customization options for managing analytical fields and improve the user experience by streamlining workflows and reducing potential errors.

SNCF regional card support

This release enhances the Goelett platform by providing seamless support for SNCF Regional Cards. Users can now easily add SNCF Regional Cards to their Goelett profile without entering a card number. The system now accurately displays and allows booking of fares associated with the SNCF Regional Card when available, which is improving the booking experience for travelers with these cards.

Note:

Users are reminded that they must present their physical SNCF Regional Card during their train trip to utilize the associated fares.

Rail card 1.0 available in the mobile app

We’re excited to announce the launch of the rail card in the Goelett mobile app (MVP version). This new feature provides a convenient and informative way to view train reservations directly within the app.

Here’s the list of items available in this initial release: Access detailed information for all confirmed train reservations, including: trip name, segment details (departure/arrival times and dates, class services, stations, train logos), trip costs, travel policy compliance, cancellation policy, PNR and confirmation number (if available), terms & conditions (potentially with links to carrier websites), CO2 emissions for the journey, and more.

Current limitations:

  • Limited access: Currently, Rail Cards are only accessible from the Traveler’s trip view. Approvals list functionality is coming soon.
  • Web view for specific actions: For now, opening reservations directly from notifications or similar booking links triggers a web view experience. Native functionality for these actions is under development.
  • Tickets not yet available: Viewing tickets within the Rail Card is not included in the MVP. We’re working on integrating this functionality shortly after launch.

Additional notes:

  • The Rail Card displays information in both English and French.
  • We offer “Show old view” functionality for users familiar with the previous reservation interface.
  • This is the initial version. We’ll continue to develop and improve the Rail Card based on users’ feedback.
