A travel management platform is a software solution designed to help businesses and organizations manage their corporate travel, expenses, and bookings. It is a comprehensive tool that enables travel managers and employees to streamline travel processes, control costs, and enhance overall travel experiences.
A travel management platform integrates various functionalities such as travel booking, expense management, itinerary management, and travel risk management into a single platform. It allows businesses to automate travel processes, track expenses, manage bookings, and provide real-time updates and reimbursements to travelers.
Using a travel management platform offers several benefits, including efficient travel booking processes, cost control, and savings, improved visibility into travel spend, policy compliance, enhanced traveler safety, and simplified expense management. It empowers travel managers with the tools they need to effectively manage corporate travel and achieve optimal outcomes.
A good travel management platform should have features such as online booking tools, itinerary management, expense tracking, real-time updates, travel risk management capabilities, mobile app accessibility, and integration with other travel-related systems. It should also offer customizable travel policies, reporting, and analytics, and provide support for business travelers on the go.
A travel management platform can benefit a business by reducing manual tasks, saving time and effort, improving cost control, ensuring policy compliance, enhancing travel management efficiency, increasing traveler satisfaction, and providing valuable data and insights for decision-making purposes. It can also help businesses negotiate better deals with travel vendors and streamline the travel booking process.
Corporate travel managers are responsible for ensuring that their company's travel program is defined, implemented, and complied with. Travel managers may be involved with creating a corporate travel policy, and help ensure that employees book travel that is compliant with that policy. Once employees hit the road, travel managers help with travel safety and the submission of travel expense data.
A corporate travel program allows employees to travel on behalf of the company. This may be to close more businesses, serve existing customers, develop partnerships, or expand market coverage. When developing a travel program, your company should define how business travel will align with your existing business strategy.
Travel management companies (TMCs) may make money through a commission earned on travel bookings or by charging a booking fee. Some even charge their customers a fee for speaking to customer support. Fortunately, a great TMC saves clients money through negotiated discounts and a reduction in the time it takes to book and reschedule. This should more than cover the cost of using a TMC.
Corporate travel is typically booked through a business travel management platform that allows business travelers to search for flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. It's ad hassle-free way to book travel for business because the company travel policies and exclusive corporate travel rates are already built in.
Travel agents are ready to assist you with travel bookings, changes, and cancellations. They can search inventory across multiple suppliers through a global distribution system (GDS), allowing them to find the best business travel options quickly. Travel agents typically field support requests via phone, email, and in-app chat. They can also pull up airline and hotel policies to clarify the options when a traveler is considering changing their business travel itinerary.
