ATPI to revolutionise energy travel with industry-first platform
ATPI Group’s CrewHub platform will streamline complex multi-destination bookings onto one transaction in five easy steps, reducing booking time to one minute per traveller.
ATPI CrewHub will support crew management logistics, streamlining activities surrounding travel to and from vessels and rigs anywhere in the world
ATPI Group (ATPI), the leading travel management company (TMC) and partner to the global energy industry, has announced the launch of CrewHub. This new proprietary booking platform will revolutionise group travel in the energy sector.
The first-of-its-kind self-service platform gives travel organisers the autonomy to book complex group travel with ease and the added assurance that a dedicated support team is on hand to assist whenever needed. The innovative technology enables unlimited employees from different airports or routes to be within a single booking when having a shared arrival or departure location.
For the energy industry, the platform will support crew management logistics, streamlining activities surrounding travel to and from vessels and rigs anywhere in the world.
Crew and group travel has traditionally been cumbersome and time-consuming, often requiring hours to complete a crew change or group booking from the initial email sent to the final distribution of eTickets. This technology (currently in testing) will streamline and consolidate business travel for groups and crews of any size and from any industry.
With over 100 years of experience in complex travel logistics and solutions, ATPI developed CrewHub after identifying a significant gap in the market. Initially developed as a pioneering solution exclusive to its Marine and Energy customers, ATPI quickly realised the technology's broader potential, extending its functionality to cater for all types of crew and groups.
Designed with operational efficiency and cost saving in mind, CrewHub allows users to easily filter flights to meet their unique requirements and reduces booking time to approximately one minute per traveller (based on 11 travellers from across the world to one location), reducing the current booking time by up to 60%.
Through CrewHub, those responsible for travel arrangements can now select names, dates, arrival and departure locations, and routes and fares in one transaction with ease. Differentiating the platform from traditional online booking tools, CrewHub includes options for specialised requirements to aid offshore workers and crews in accessing remote locations and flexible schedules. This development will speed up, simplify, and modernise crew and group travel, empowering operators in the process.
Jenny Thornton, Director of Technology Solutions at ATPI, commented: “CrewHub is a unique solution that allows all sectors to go online, self-serve, and bring significant time efficiencies to their travel programmes. Booking crew and group travel have traditionally been reserved for experienced consultants to handle offline due to the complexities of coordinating multiple itineraries, preferences and logistical requirements across various providers and platforms.
At ATPI, we are committed to continuous innovation that streamlines the booking process and redefines industry standards. CrewHub does exactly that. It’s the first of its kind in the TMC space, and bringing such a dynamic tool to the market will bring efficiencies to all our customers.”
CrewHub is being trialled with a select group of customers before being rolled out to Marine and Energy businesses in Q1 of 2025. It will then be launched across all ATPI business lines throughout 2025, including corporate, entertainment, sports, and mining, ensuring every trip is tailored to each traveller and sector’s needs.
