What is corporate travel management?

Managed corporate travel programme

No matter what industry you’re in, every aspect of your business requires planning, organising and analysis. One of these aspects is business travel—and that involves a lot more than just booking flight tickets and hotels. From logistics and travel spend to tracking your travellers and monitoring travel expenses, a lot goes into creating a successful corporate travel programme.

The advantages of having a managed business travel programme are extensive. Beyond tracking and managing your travel spend, a well-executed programme also helps you to ensure that your travellers are safe, provides them with personalised travel options and empowers travellers to book and update their travel themselves at their desk, or on the go in the mobile app. A managed programme should also give you the technology that you need to gain in-depth data insights, so you can optimise your programme to increase compliance, find new savings opportunities, save time and more.

How does travel technology simplify business travel management?

When it comes to travel management, technology matters. Today, this holds true in the workplace as much as it does in your personal life. Booking business travel should be as frictionless as booking a holiday. We understand this—Egencia was the original innovator in digital corporate travel. We built and own the technology that we use for business travel management, which allows us to innovate quickly and deliver a complete and seamless end-to-end travel experience that delights both travellers and travel managers.

Egencia gives you everything that you need to create and manage a successful corporate travel programme. Easily manage traveller profiles, payment options and travel policies, or use risk management tools such as Egencia Traveller Tracker to help you to locate business travellers in the case of an emergency. With everything in one place, it also makes it simple to book and approve travel—there’s no need to use multiple travel booking tools or complicated approval processes. And you can make bookings, policy updates and approvals from wherever you are, using any device.


What role does travel data play?


As part of Expedia Group, we can provide the same choices and prices that your travellers would get on Expedia.com or Hotels.com, alongside specifically negotiated corporate rates from Egencia. Egencia Preferred rates offer your travellers flights that are better value and hotel stays with exclusive rates that aren’t available to other TMCs and include amenities like flexible cancellations, breakfast and Wi-Fi.
