What is Corporate Travel Management?

Introduction

Experience and Insider Knowledge Triumph.

Over a period of 29 years in the corporate travel management industry, I have been working on a way to simplify the travel experience, increase savings, manage travellers and offer an overall travel management solution, transparently.

No matter the size of your corporation, and travel of any budget, maximising productivity and savings across the board, should be your priority. It’s why our philosophy is simple, your success becomes our success.

If there is one thing the last two plus years has taught us is that travel is a vital component of the supply chain. It not only affects your cost of sales but can also effect your productivity and ability to deliver to your clients and business partners.

The current travel management company they were using is not only charging a service fee, they were booking and issuing tickets at the higher fare levels.

During a recent audit for a client the following results were uncovered.

Why is a travel audit necessary?

It’s not about being liked for the next point, it is necessary for effective corporate travel management!


Is it easy and will it yield the highest return on THEIR bottom line, or are they ensuring they are watching YOURS at all times?
Are all costs and services been shown with 100% transparency?


It is not only about booking travel, but knowing that travel service suppliers and staff are doing the right things to keep this inevitable expense to a minimum.

If there are a few things the Pandemic showed us,

  • How travel impacts the cost of sales and your bottom line?
  • What travel is necessary, and there are new ways of connecting remotely for the not so important meeting requirements?

Today’s traveller is informed, aware and price-conscious. They are no longer just accepting what is provided; they want security, experience and better pricing. There are benefits for travellers and for companies and these should be taken into account every step of the way.

Conclusion
