Tradeshift Go is a virtual assistance program aimed towards medium-sized businesses to aid them in tracking employee spending and reducing any expense fraud. The platform uses an AI chat interface to allow those traveling to easily connect to travel agents if necessary. Through Tradeshift Go, employees are able to text the AI assistant where they need to go and receive help with flight bookings, hotel bookings, ground transportation, and dining.
The Tradeshift Go platform is available through the App store -- it only needs a work email address to sign up. Differentiating itself from other chatboxes, Tradeshift Go is able to book travel necessities through the app with the option to adjust preferences. Users can choose their preference in either a window or aisle seat, highlight a preferred airline, or even avoid certain airlines. The AI assistant will also apply the preferences towards future trips as well.
