Advito, a global leader in business travel consulting, announced the pilot launch of APEX, a new AI-enabled consulting intelligence platform designed to help organizations make more informed strategic business decisions. APEX combines Advito’s proven experience in advanced analytics, multisource data consolidation, and consulting expertise into a single platform, breaking down traditional travel category silos and helping clients take a holistic approach to optimizing their travel programs. The platform provides a comprehensive, collaborative environment for connecting clients with their consultants, serving as the digital workspace for consulting deliverables, performance KPIs and analysis, and strategic recommendations.
APEX, which stands for Advito Platform Exchange, brings together dashboards, prescriptive analytics, and deliverables across Advito’s five consulting practice lines (Hotel, Multimodal, Sustainability, Engage, and Intelligence & Analytics) into one platform. It will serve as the central hub for consulting engagements, enhancing the client experience, and supporting strategic initiatives, like supplier sourcing and negotiations, contract performance analysis, ongoing program performance management, benchmarking, forecasting, and travel policy optimization. By connecting data across Advito’s practices lines – and from a variety of sources – such as travel management companies, expense systems, supplier contracts, sustainability sources, travel policy, market intelligence, and Advito’s proprietary data sets, APEX provides a more complete foundation for analysis and strategic decision-making.

The platform is designed to follow the daily workflow of a travel manager. They can view curated dashboards to evaluate trouble spots within their program, run what-if scenarios, view active engagements with Advito, and assess the matching and normalization rates of various data sources.
Through “Ask APEX,” the platform’s AI-powered interface, clients can use natural language querying to explore their data and surface program insights faster. The APEX Narrative capability can run full narratives on dashboard elements to identify trends and highlight opportunities to drive savings, reduce leakage and mitigate environmental impact. Travel managers can act on the recommendations, or work with Advito consultants on more complex initiatives, turning volumes of complex data into business decisions with meaningful results.
“APEX opens a new cycle of innovation for Advito clients. By combining 20 years of trusted consulting expertise and our proven ability to build high-quality travel data with the power of AI, we are setting a new industry standard. With Advito consultants embedded in the platform’s design and validation, clients can trust the intelligence they receive and turn it into action at scale,” said Olivier Benoit, SVP and Managing Director, Advito. “AI changes what clients buy, how consulting is delivered, and which solutions create differentiation. We’re excited to collaborate with our pilot clients to create a platform that helps them leverage AI in a way that increases the value of their travel program.”
As travel programs have become more complex by fragmented information, competing priorities and difficult strategic decisions, APEX reflects Advito’s philosophy that technology can support business transformation, but the human expert in the loop is still critical to affect real change and support execution. The platform combines advanced analytical systems with Advito’s trusted intelligence and proven consulting methodologies, making complex analysis more accessible and enabling consultants to incorporate context and nuance into their recommendations, as well as deep knowledge of the clients’ organizational culture, traveler behaviors, business goals, and market considerations.
