Overview

What BCD TripSource does

TripSource is BCD Travel's traveller app: it consolidates air, hotel, car and rail itineraries booked through BCD Travel or added manually, sends real-time flight status and gate change alerts, shows entry and visa requirements, and gives arrangers and travellers one place to see a trip rather than a stack of separate confirmation emails. The point worth flagging is that TripSource is not a standalone purchase. It ships as part of a BCD Travel corporate travel management contract, alongside the agency service, online booking tool and reporting. Companies cannot licence the app independently of engaging BCD Travel as their TMC, so evaluating it means evaluating BCD Travel as a whole, not comparing app features against TripIt or TripCase in isolation. Buyers are effectively HR and procurement teams selecting a travel management company, with TripSource as one deliverable inside that contract rather than a separate line item. The trade-off is that a company happy with BCD Travel's core service inherits an adequate but not exceptional consumer-grade app, and cannot swap in a better itinerary tool without changing TMC.

What people use it for

A company already contracted to BCD Travel wanting a single itinerary view for travellers
A travel manager needing entry requirement and flight alert information pushed automatically
An assistant or arranger who needs to share a travelling executive's itinerary quickly
A duty of care programme that wants trip data visible without travellers logging into a separate portal

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about BCD TripSource.

It cannot be bought or used without a BCD Travel TMC contract, so it is not a genuine alternative to an independent app like TripIt for a company using a different agency.
Feature depth trails purpose-built consumer itinerary apps, and companies sometimes end up recommending a personal TripIt subscription alongside it for travellers who want more.
Because it is bundled, there is no separate pricing to negotiate down, and the cost is buried inside the overall BCD Travel service fee.
Manually forwarded bookings made outside BCD Travel channels are not always captured cleanly, leaving gaps in the trip timeline for off-channel purchases.
Switching TMC away from BCD Travel means losing the app entirely, adding a hidden switching cost beyond renegotiating the agency contract itself.
