Evolvi Launches Seatfrog Functionality 

Evolvi, the online corporate rail booking specialist, has launched new functionality with Seatfrog to offer easy access to First Class ticket upgrades.

The project, which is currently in pilot stage, will enable TMCs to offer the Seatfrog service through their corporate clients' travel policy, whether booking rail via Evolvi's dedicated platform or its API.

With Seatfrog, travellers with confirmed train reservations can bid on or instantly buy available First Class upgrades as long as their policy setting on Evolvi has been enabled to allow them to do so.

"We know that most corporates set strict rules for First Class travel but may not be adverse to their travellers self-funding upgrades," said Melanie Glass, Head of Account Management at Evolvi Rail Systems.

"Our partnership with Seatfrog will make it easy for employees of our TMCs corporate clients to access good value upgrades through this new functionality but at the same time allowing the corporate to keep control. Additionally, and especially in today's travel climate, we feel that many corporates may also view this ability to upgrade easily and cost effectively to First Class as a positive contributor to the wellbeing of their people."
