Corporate Travel Booking – Their needs, your rules
Helping employees book and manage business travel doesn’t have to be frustrating. Maybe you’re lucky enough to have a travel agent, but it’s more likely the person doing the booking is the individual employee and therefore travel management programs are essential. Maybe you require pre-trip approval before travel is booked. Concur Premier can help streamline the entire travel management process to ensure employees get where they need to be and stick to your corporate travel policies.
It’s booked. Now what?
Once travel booking is completed, Concur’s travel management begins. Business travelers can have their Concur travel plans automatically synch with their TripIt account creating a master itinerary that’s accessible on smartphones and online. After the trip, our travel partners send the data from each booking in the form of e-receipts directly into employees’ expense reports. Travel booking to expense report filing is completely automatic. No paper, totally accurate and timely. This makes travel expense management quick and easy for your business traveler. Doesn’t that sound great?
Plan before you go, or just go.
Set rules for pre-trip approval based on employee, trip type, or region. Whether trips are booked online or by travel agents, travel data is entered only once, and everybody knows the status of the travel request approval, even the employee's expense report.
Let them eat cake…or a kosher meal.
Because Concur Premier lets you set travel limits, your employees are free to choose their own travel plans and preferences within those limits. They can book flights all over the world, rent cars, book hotel rooms and even train tickets that fit their schedule and your travel policies. It even works with any travel management company, corporate credit card provider or GDS.
Limit the limits
Concur Premier technology isn’t tied to any travel agency or GDS. Say goodbye to limited travel inventories. Your employees get the broadest possible selection of corporate travel content.
Surprise, it’s less expensive
Convenience doesn’t just make employees happy, it’s cheaper. Because the user-friendly tools increase adoption and reduce reliance on travel agents, they can help to cut travel booking fees by as much as 79 percent per transaction.* Oh, and how about reporting and analysis tools to help you better analyze spending and drive down costs?
On the fly, on the go
So all this is all fantastic, right? But we haven’t even gotten to the best part. With our mobile app, your employees have immediate access to their travel itineraries making it easy and convenient to access the information or to make changes.
They get up-to-the-second flight status details such as delays and cancellations, departure gates or times, and quick links to check-in online. The future is now, folks. Now if we could only get those jetpacks working.
