Global Traveller - A Managed Travel Risk and Assistance Service
Global Traveller is a managed travel risk and assistance service designed for organisations whose people travel internationally. It provides continuous monitoring, direct communication and coordinated response through a 24/7 operations function.
The aim is simple. to ensure that travellers are visible, supported and able to operate safely, wherever they are.
International travel is no longer predictable. Disruption is more frequent, conditions change quickly, and organisations are often managing movement across several regions at once.
In many cases, the issue is not a lack of information. It is the absence of a clear picture, where people are, what is affecting them, and what needs to happen next.
Without that, response becomes fragmented. Communication slows. Decisions are delayed.
A Managed Capability
Global Traveller operates as a managed layer across all travel activity. It integrates with existing booking processes and runs in the background, maintaining oversight without requiring internal resource.
Responsibility for monitoring, communication and response sits with the Stratum operations team. The organisation retains visibility and assurance, without having to actively manage the process themselves.
What the Service Delivers
At its core, Global Traveller brings together four elements that are typically disconnected, visibility, awareness, communication and response.
Continuous Monitoring
Traveller activity is monitored on an ongoing basis through itinerary integration and app-based tracking, allowing a live understanding of location, movement and exposure to risk.
Risk Awareness
Location-specific updates are filtered and assessed to identify what is relevant, whether security developments, transport disruption or health-related issues, enabling informed, proactive decision-making.
Communication
The operations team maintains direct contact with travellers, carrying out welfare checks, providing updates and ensuring individuals are supported throughout an incident.
Response and Assistance
Support is delivered through a 24/7 operations function operating in both English and Arabic, with responsibility for assessment, coordination and ongoing case management through to resolution.
Medical Support
Access to telemedicine provides an additional layer of support, enabling travellers to obtain medical advice regardless of location.

Why It Matters
Without a managed capability, organisations rely on a mix of internal coordination, external providers and delayed information. Global Traveller provides a single, consistent layer through which travel is monitored and supported.
In practical terms, this means:
travellers can be located quickly
communication can be established without delay
incidents are managed in a coordinated way
internal teams are not required to carry the operational burden
Position Within Stratum
Global Traveller sits at the front of Stratum’s broader capability. It provides day-to-day monitoring and support, while allowing issues to escalate into more comprehensive services where required, including travel risk management, medical coordination and crisis response. It is the point at which routine travel connects with operational support.
Who It Is For
Global Traveller is used by organisations that require consistent oversight of international travel, including corporates, NGOs, media organisations and institutions with staff or customers operating across multiple regions.
It is scalable and can support both small teams and large, distributed workforces.
Engagement
Global Traveller can be implemented as a stabd alone service or as part of a wider operational model.

How It Works
Global Traveller fits around existing travel processes.
Travel continues to be booked in the usual way. Itineraries are automatically incorporated, and travellers become visible within the system. From that point, monitoring and support are continuous.
If an issue arises, the operations team engages directly, managing communication, assessing the situation and coordinating the response.
We offer a professional working environment and competitive compensation packages.
We are always interested in hearing from professionals with experience in operations, travel coordination, security and logistics.
