Does Your Travel Program “Leak”?

Are you tired of travelers booking reservations on their favorite website? Not having control over their spend or policy compliance? Missing out on your preferred discounts and the credit for using preferred vendors through preferred channels? Holes in your traveler tracking and complaints from Risk Management?

Want to give your travelers what they want while getting what you need?

Implement a corporate online booking site customized for your organization. With built in policy and preferred vendors you get the policy compliance, control over spend, traveler tracking, contract compliance, and more that you require for travel program management. Your travelers get the convenience and control from “doing it themselves”, and a user-friendly interface with multiple added benefits, such as automated notification of flight delays or cancellations, mobile applications, calendar and address book integration, and more.

Program leakage can cost you plenty in your immediate travel and in the potential discounts you could qualify for in the future.  

Stop the leakage today. Talk to your Travel-On account manager about online booking, policy compliance management, travel program analysis, and expense reporting capabilities. All of our programs are designed to give your travelers what they want while giving you what you need to maintain an effective travel program.  

Travel-On offers our clients access to a state-of-the-art corporate online booking platform, as well as many additional services (most offered at no additional cost) that you can take advantage of to stop losing money on your travel program. 

ALERT! 

Travel-On's automated notification of flight delays or cancellations, and gate changes can be invaluable to a busy traveler.  We provide these alerts to each of your travelers at no additional cost. Make sure that your travelers benefit from this by reminding them to enable receipt of these notifications via their online profiles.  

If you are not currently using Travel-On's Rearden Personal Assistant for profile management, talk to your account manager about how to get these benefits for your travelers even if you don't want to book reservations online.
