Executive Travel, one of America's most innovative travel management companies, announced the launch of ETPolicy IQ, a groundbreaking AI-driven tool that is set to transform how companies manage and enforce corporate travel policies. "With ETPolicy IQ, we're bringing intelligence and simplicity to an area that has long frustrated both employees and travel managers," said Jennifer Belt, President at Executive Travel. "By making travel policies more accessible and actionable, we help companies improve compliance, control costs, and enhance the overall travel experience."

Unlike anything currently available in the corporate travel space, ETPolicy IQ is designed to simplify, streamline, and strengthen corporate travel programs through intelligent automation and real-time guidance. The platform features two powerful innovations:

1. Instant Travel Policy Guidance for Employees
With ETPolicy IQ, companies can embed their travel policies directly into the Private AI engine. Employees can ask natural-language questions such as "Can I book premium economy for international flights?" or "Do I need pre-approval for a rental car?" and receive instant, clear answers. This eliminates confusion, reduces unnecessary emails to travel managers, and minimizes policy violations—saving organizations valuable time and money.

ETPolicy IQ is built as a private, secure AI system, designed to meet the highest corporate security and compliance standards. Unlike public AI tools, ETPolicy IQ runs in a controlled environment, ensuring your company's data is never exposed, shared, or at risk. It's engineered to pass rigorous IT and security reviews, giving organizations the confidence that their travel policy information remains fully protected.

2. AI-Driven Policy Assessment and Scoring
ETPolicy IQ also evaluates and grades a company's travel policy for clarity, completeness, and compliance readiness. Using AI, the system analyzes critical components, including booking procedures, preferred suppliers, approval workflows, expense management rules, and duty of care provisions. It then provides a simple letter-grade score along with a detailed diagnostic report outlining strengths, weaknesses, and specific recommendations for improvement.

ETPolicy IQ empowers travel managers to:

  • Identify gaps and outdated policy elements instantly
  • Benchmark policies against industry best practices
  • Gain actionable insights to boost compliance and cost savings
  • Present clear, data-backed improvements to executives and stakeholders

Whether building a first-time travel policy or refining a complex global program, ETPolicy IQ ensures policies are aligned, optimized, and future-ready.
