If you’re managing business travel on your own via the internet or working with another travel management company that you don’t know if it’s hitting the mark, this is the game plan for you. It’s a quick-fire interactive playbook to demonstrate the impact that centralisation can have on your success.
Centralise your corporate travel to save time and energy
Consolidation is much easier than it sounds
When you’re making any changes in your company, often you're looking for ways to be more efficient, save money, and make life easier. So, whether you’re booking your travel on your own, or your current solution seems to be creating more work, it’s time to consider centralising.
We promise that centralising your travel programme will make a noticeable difference. With the right travel partner at your side, you’ll save your company thousands of rands each year, plus win back a load of time and energy.
Here's how to do it:
1. Use a travel management company that specialises in SME business travel
The mark of a great travel management company is one that knows your specific needs. That includes industry knowledge that is also applied to your individual and company preferences. With Corporate Traveller, you’re getting a TMC whose sole focus is on SME travel. We focus on businesses that appreciate a higher level of service and safety, while also recognising cost savings. We know that your travel matters so our dedicated travel expertise, ensures you’ll get the same great service, every time.
Plus, as you begin to consolidate your travel programme, you get access to the best possible rates, a dedicated travel consultant and a customer success manager to ensure the programme is always working for you! We also provide 24/7 support in case any of your travellers have problems while on the road.
2. Set up an online booking system
An online booking platform makes life easy for everyone. Your travellers can book their own travel quickly and within policy, while any internal administrator or office manager can save time and stress. It should be easy to set an approvals process that satisfies the needs of your travellers and management. The right technology ensures that flights and hotels are within your budget, maintains traveller profiles and preferences, and accesses a robust suite of reports to keep on top of everything.
Our tech, Your.CT, is more than just a booking platform, it’s a traveller-tracking, report-generating, travel-policy keeping, powerhouse of software that gives you visibility over your entire travel programme. We’d love to give you a quick demo!
3. Negotiate better rates with suppliers
When you consolidate your travel bookings, you'll be in a better position to negotiate discounts with suppliers. It also helps when your travel management company has the vibe of a boutique travel management company, with the global buying power of the big guys. We make sure you’re getting the best rates available for airfare, hotel rooms, car rentals, and other services that you use frequently.
We’ll also throw in a tonne of added value – regular travel programme check-ins, dedicated service, waivers and favours, and a whole lot more.
Travelling for business doesn’t have to be a headache. In fact, it's a breeze when you work with the right people. By centralising your programme and working with the right people, you can save time, money and stress. Ready to get your next business trip off on the right foot?
