After months of co-developing with enterprise travel managers, eco.mio introduces the next stage in smarter travel management: The Recommendation Engine – an AI-driven layer that guides traveler choices directly within existing booking systems. The new solution helps enterprises cut costs, improve traveler satisfaction, and reduce emissions – without enforcing stricter travel policies or running complex change management initiatives. 

From Nudges to Guidance

For years, eco.mio has proven that small behavioral signals – like incentives or sustainability nudges – can inspire travelers to make better choices. As booking environments have become more complex, and travelers often face 30+ options per trip, this leads to decision fatigue, missed savings, and delayed bookings.

“We’ve reached a point where adding more data doesn’t help travelers decide better – it slows them down,” says Kati Riederer, CEO of eco.mio. “The future is about guidance, not overload. With the Recommendation Engine, we turn information into intelligence – helping companies drive better travel decisions effortlessly.”

Turning Complexity into Clarity

The Recommendation Engine enhances existing Online Booking Tools (OBTs) with a new, AI-powered recommendation layer. It simplifies the booking process by surfacing only the most relevant, policy-aligned choices – whether that’s a preferred supplier, a rail option instead of air, or a lower-fare ticket that meets company KPIs. Travelers book faster. Travel managers gain compliance and cost efficiency. And all existing booking, payment, and approval processes remain unchanged.

“This is an impressive capability and exactly what we need,” said one enterprise pilot client.

Built on Proven Foundations

The new product builds on eco.mio’s behavioral expertise and its Impact Suite, already used by companies like UBS and Kearney to engage travelers and cut emissions. Together, both products form eco.mio’s next-generation software portfolio for better travel decisions:

  • eco.mio Impact Suite: Engages travelers with incentives, CO₂ visualizations, and SAF fee integration – turning awareness into action.
  • eco.mio Recommendation Engine: Guides traveler decisions with AI-driven recommendations – turning complexity into clarity.

Both share one mission: Bridging the gap between travel policy and traveler action.

Why Now

Enterprise travel software has lagged behind the intuitive, guided experiences people expect from consumer tools.
As AI reshapes the workplace, eco.mio brings this transformation to corporate travel – enabling relevance at scale. Early pilots show measurable results: Significantly shorter booking times, major cost optimization, and improved traveler satisfaction.

And data from eco.mio’s sustainability model confirms what many travel managers hope: 90% of cost-saving decisions also support lower emissions.
