As a business development executive for the 11th largest travel management company in the U.S., I am often asked, “Why should I use a travel management company?”
Smart companies looking for ways to save on travel understand that having a managed travel program is a business function that will help align their employees requirements and desires with corporate goals. A managed travel program helps to realize cost tracking and control for organizations and gives employees the opportunity to adhere to the company’s travel and entertainment policies, not to mention the ability to generate savings through negotiated discounts, specifically with hotel and car rental vendors.
Through Christopherson’s proprietary technology tools, like SecurityLogic® for example, corporations have instant access to data and information to assist in maintaining Duty of Care requirements. With Christopherson’s tool AirBank®, travel managers and executives have access of all their travelers’ unused tickets. Another example is AirPortal 360™ Mobile, Christopherson’s mobile app, which allows travel managers and planners the ability to manage the company’s travel program from anywhere, at any time.

I did not know about travel management companies until yesterday when my brother-in-law started telling me a little bit about them. It is nice that they are looking for ways to save on travel expenses. It seems like they would be a very useful thing if employees in your company plan on traveling a lot.
