How we support corporate travel in manufacturing environments
Corporate travel solutions designed for manufacturing roles
Why should you partner with Corporate Traveller?
Manufacturing travel is never just one type of trip. An exec roadshow on Monday, three techs flying into a plant town on Tuesday, a crew needing beds for six weeks on Thursday. We've booked all of it for over 30 years, so we know which trips need white gloves and which need a kitchenette.
Stop being a number. Get a partner instead.
When you integrate our expert services and systems for manufacturing travel management, you don’t just become another number in our database, like a part in your production line.
You’ll get a dedicated Travel Manager, who’ll be your single point-of-contact and handles ALL your strategic travel needs. And you’ll be set up in no time, thanks to their expert support and our simple tools.
Stop using personal cards
Virtual cards mean your travellers never hand over a personal card at check-in, and you're not fronting a six-week stay yourself. Every charge lands tied to the right trip, traveller, and cost centre.
One platform, every traveller type
Your VP in business class and your machinist on a 6 a.m. regional flight don't need the same trip. They do need the same booker to pull it off. Set separate policy groups for each traveller type and book both without switching systems.
Long stays, done right
Six weeks with a mini fridge and a coffee maker is a rough deal. We'll find extended-stay and guesthouses with real kitchens and laundry, at rates negotiated for the length of the stay, resulting in happier crews and lower nightly costs.
More time and money to invest in your business? Yes, please.
Lower costs with higher quality? I’m in.
