Ace Launches Mobile Application for International Travelers

According to a release, the new mobile application, offered through Ace's Executive Assistance Services, provides Ace International Advantage customers with information essential to the planning of any international trip. Once the application is downloaded, customers have the option to create a travel itinerary prior to or during their trip. Based on the traveler's GPS location, as well as their stored itinerary, real-time alerts, risk management mitigation tips, as well as tools to manage medical or other travel related incidents will be pushed to the user's mobile device.
