Car rental isn't very sexy as a sector, but cool stuff is happening slowly behind the scenes.
Avis Budget Group launched a new dashboard to give travel managers greater insight into spending, where employees are, and smarter ways for travelers to get around. It's part of the company's evolution into a mobility platform offering a variety of different services. Check out my story below.
Meanwhile, Carlson Wagonlit Travel rebranded to CWT, which a lot of people already called the company. Its various divisions already had CWT in their titles. A promotional image has a guy riding a hoverboard in it, signifying the future, so it looks like they're ready for extreme digital transformation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
