ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - iJET International, Inc., a leading operational risk management solutions provider, announced today the latest update to its Worldcue® Mobile TRAVELER smartphone app. The launch of TRAVELER 2.0 introduces new features and enhancements to the mobile app designed to provide iJET clients' employees with critical information and communications when and where it is needed.
Designed as an extension of iJET's Travel Risk Management (TRM) services, the app utilizes iJET's Intelligence to share updates on potential travel or operational disruptions. New features provide one-touch connection to travel, security and medical assistance worldwide. The Safety Check-in capability allows employees to indicate they are "OK" and have the option to provide their precise location. The Crisis Signal button alerts iJET's Global Operations response team for immediate assistance or evacuation.
TRAVELER 2.0 builds upon these features and now includes navigation support in both English and Japanese, new and user-friendly itinerary, timeline "quick view" layouts and has been optimized for use on tablet devices. Other enhanced features include destination intelligence including iJET's proprietary risk ratings for hundreds of locations around the world and overall tablet/smartphone friendly menu with innovative one-touch navigation.
"For many organizations, business travel and expatriate assignments are an operational necessity and part of their Duty of Care responsibility to mitigate the risks employees are exposed to when traveling," said Bruce McIndoe, CEO of iJET International. "In today's global environment, whether geopolitical threats or health pandemics, stability can change at any moment. Our mobile app provides some peace of mind and makes it easier for organizations to extend their TRM programs while equipping employees with better travel tools while abroad."
iJET's TRAVELER 2.0 offers organizations a streamlined process for confirming employee safety, an improved ability to identify potential at-risk employees and a greater sense of security and safety for those employees traveling abroad on behalf of their organization. It is available on iPhone and Android devices and is offered at no additional cost* to iJET's Worldcue® Travel Risk Management and Expat Risk Management clients.
