According to Reed & Mackay, "R&M/Book is built to meet the exacting needs of Reed & Mackay’s professional services client base. For example, it enables specific integrations and features to support matter code validation at point of sale." Given its target the market, the tool is configured specifically to support the travel booker or executive assistant in booking on behalf of other travelers. That said, the company underscores it offers a good experience for the traveler as well. R&M/Book evolved from R&M/iQ, Reed & Mackay’s agent booking tool, which the company says, was "built on the continuous learnings from decades of service excellence. This ensures R&M/Book delivers the most personalized service available both online and offline." The Reed & Mackay team identified its biggest R&M/Book innovation in 2021 as the implementation of Covid-19 safety measures.
