Enterprise is significantly enhancing its Enterprise Travel Direct (ETD) booking and compliance management platform to help fleets further control their business rentals.

The Enterprise Travel Direct (ETD) booking and compliance management platform is now fully mobile-responsive and also fully compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA accreditation for online accessibility for people with disabilities

The platform, which enables employees to book rentals directly while remaining compliant with work travel policies, is now fully mobile-responsive. This allows renters to locate and book nearby available rental or car club vehicles through the platform on their mobile device.

ETD, which consolidates daily rental, car club, pool car and grey fleet travel, is also now fully compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA accreditation for online accessibility for people with disabilities.

This includes the addition of text alternatives for non-text content, functionality for input devices other than keyboards, and easier site navigation. The site works with screen readers for colour-blind drivers and is more accessible for organisations that use rental booking teams.

The changes come as the platform continues to see significant growth. Enabling customers to select the most accessible mode of travel using real-time availability, it’s already used by thousands of public and private sector fleets in the UK and Germany, and is currently being rolled out to customers in France and Spain.

The number of rental transactions carried out through the platform has risen by 200% over the past two years.

Ryan Bushell, head of public sector at Enterprise, said: “We’re seeing a real change in how employees are booking their business travel and policy compliance is more important than ever. ETD has become the de facto choice for organisations wanting to control ad hoc employee travel and migrate workers to safer and lower-emission vehicles.

“These new upgrades are helping customers who want the platform to be more functional and accessible because they love it. It’s now on mobiles so people can swiftly book on the go and employees with disabilities can use it as easily as anyone else. ETD has become hugely popular and we’re investing to be sure it has all the functionality businesses want.”
