Travel Market Report’s business travel editor, Fred Gebhart, recently wrote about a report published by the market research firm Aberdeen Groupon called “Travel and Expense Management.” The report concluded that business travel expenses account for 8% to 12% of an organization’s overall expense budget.
The report also emphasized the need for organizations to focus more on strategic management of travel and not just cost efficiency, and identified three key strategies common to best-in-class travel management programs:
- Support travel management with analytics, integration, and mobility
- Use mobile apps and portals to put expense management directly in the hands of travelers
- Leverage analytics and integration to drive transparency into travel processes and spend to improve corporate budgeting, planning, and forecasting
