Via the 1-CP integration layer, you integrate the merchant's booking engine with Egencia. Employees then reach specialized offers (e.g. alternative accommodation or long-tail services) with one click, directly from their Egencia homepage.
How it works
Punch-Out via Favourite links: The simplest way is to add the link to the merchant's booking engine in the Favourite links section of your Egencia dashboard.
The link works as a Punch-Out and takes employees directly to the merchant's booking engine, where they search and book.
You adjust the link text so employees immediately see what the link is for.
Driving adoption and travel policy
It is important to list the merchant directly in your travel policy. If you clearly communicate that this Favourite link is the approved booking channel for that specific service (e.g. "All [service] must be booked via the [merchant name] link in Egencia"), employees find the right path and the policy is followed.
How to get started
Log in to your Egencia account with administrator rights.
Open the portal settings where you manage your company's Favourite links.
Add a new link. Enter a descriptive name (e.g. the name of the merchant or the service) and the unique Punch-Out URL you receive from 1-CP.
Save the changes. The link to the merchant's booking engine is now visible to all employees on the Egencia homepage.
If you need help with the setup, use the integration request form in the Help widget.
