Supporting a Software Development Business With International Travel Management
A UK SME developing cutting-edge software that operates across all global regions had employees regularly travel for events and project delivery.
As the company’s travel requirements became more complex, it needed a corporate travel management partner that could provide speed, cost control, reporting, flexibility and out-of-hours support to manage their increasing travel demands.
The Challenge: Managing Complex International Travel
The company was experiencing difficulties with their global logistics which impacted on their costs and ability to support events. Their existing travel process involved manual bookings with multiple suppliers which resulted in inconsistent pricing, fragmented invoices and limited support.
This created additional work for their operations teams and made it difficult to control costs while also ensuring travel policies where met.
