Marietton Development links with Trenitalia

Marietton Development has enhanced its partnership with Trenitalia, allowing Ailleurs Business to connect directly to the Italian railway company's booking system. This integration covers all stages of the ticket process, from booking to cancellation, following the carrier’s rules.

Expanded travel options for users

The connection provides access to a wider range of fares and services, including seat selection. It also includes certain conditions negotiated under the ASHA GIE, of which TMC is a member, as stated in a press release.

Real-time comparison of travel options

Travelers can now compare SNCF and Trenitalia offers simultaneously, based on their schedule, budget, or travel policy constraints. This feature allows for more informed and efficient decision-making when planning trips.

Previous integration by Supertripper

Supertripper, another subsidiary of Marietton Development, previously announced a direct connection to Trenitalia in September. At that time, Supertripper positioned itself as "the first business travel agency directly connected" to the Italian operator.

Shared ownership and strategic goals

Marietton Development and Trenitalia share a common shareholder, Certares. Laurent Abitbol, president of Marietton Development, noted that the group benefits from the synergies of its shareholder, who aims to expand rail operations internationally.

Trenitalia's broader distribution plans

Trenitalia also expressed ambitions to expand the integration. Laurent Boissée, B2B commercial manager at Trenitalia, stated that the connection with Supertripper was imminent and would soon be deployed across the Havas Voyages and Selectour network, as well as on all of Trenitalia’s distribution channels.

Current usage of Ailleurs Business tool

Currently, about thirty client companies use the Ailleurs Solutions by Wondermiles booking tool, according to Florent Jutigny, commercial director of Ailleurs Business. The integration aims to provide more direct and tailored technological solutions for customers.
