Travel 22 May 2019

CAPE TOWN – Security company Chubb announced that it has launched a new app for business travellers, Chubb Travel Smart.

According to Chubb the aim of the app is to offer safety to travellers by providing them with services such as pre-travel eLearning, direct access to medical and security assistance and live location-based alerts.

Luke Powis, A&H Corporate & Affinity Manager at Chubb South Africa said in a statement: "Effective travel management is a critical factor in any company’s ability to exercise the utmost duty of care in providing and maintaining a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of travelling employees. A recent study showed that 87% of travellers have travel safety concerns, with crime, health and terrorism as the greatest travelling threats. We have developed this tool to help clients pro-actively mitigate their travel risks, and move away from simply being an insurer that pays the claims."

For risk managers and human resources teams, Chubb Travel Smart provides an online dashboard for an instant and complete summary of travelling employees, including their location and whether they are in any high-risk areas.

Other features on the app include useful tips such as cultural do’s and don’ts and visa/passport requirements recommended vaccinations and more.

One big feature of the app is its push notifications that get sent to the traveller’s home screen notifying them of risks near their location.

The app is available on iOS and Google Play.
