Many travel management firms simply focus on reducing cost expenditures. While that is important, Travel and Transport believes it’s only half the picture. A truly successful travel management program needs to employ cost avoidance strategies as well.

There are many ways in which Travel and Transport can assist clients to gain better value for their spend. We use these methods and meet with our clients to establish quarterly goals and provide ROI’s to help gain further value within your travel program.

Unused Non-refundable Ticket Tracking

Travel and Transport’s proprietary eTTek Banx push technology can reduce the ticket spoilage between 3% to 5%. This is an average savings for Travel and Transport’s entire client base.

Airline Analysis

Travel and Transport provides an overall air analysis to determine contract savings and suggest additional small business programs.

Monitor Potential Lost Savings

Through the use of Travel and Transport’s eTTek Preview Plus system, we can help clients monitor potential lost savings over $100, $150, $500, etc. prior to travel. Travel and Transport can “push” the potential lost savings information to a clients department heads, or to those in charge of the travel budget, to monitor travel prior to travel occurring.

Client Service Team

Each of our clients are serviced by a highly experienced Client Service Associate that is dedicated to working on the behalf of our clients to obtain deep discounts and cost savings. Travel and Transport’s client service associates are very involved with the management of our vendor relationships as it applies to our individual clients’ day-to-day interaction with our vendors.

Multiple Metrics Measurements

We incorporate information from travel management reports in regards to compliance and savings achieved, average ticket cost and airline segment analysis to report on vendor performances.

Partner Solutions Group

Travel and Transport has a Partner Solutions Group dedicated to providing additional discounts and savings for airline, car rental and hotel properties. These seasoned analysts will assist at the national level for discounted savings. Their expertise has allowed Travel and Transport clients to save 2-5% within their travel program, and they are eager to assist you in finding these comparable savings  in your program.

Non-compliance Analysis

Travel and Transport will supply a report that allows travel managers to analyze their travel that is not complying with company policies. This report shows ticket counts and percentages for lost savings, advanced purchase, refundable/non-refundable, booking types, non-preferred hotels, and high hotel amounts. This report is inclusive of graphical representation for each of the categories and includes ‘what if’ forecasting and trending capabilities.

Benchmarking

Travel and Transport realizes the importance of benchmarking your company with other “like” companies, internally within your company, as well as reputable industry benchmarking firms such as Runzheimer and Topaz. We incorporate benchmarking into all quarterly business reviews and additionally can provide monthly air, car and hotel benchmarking as needed.
