One supplier, multiple benefits. That’s what you can get when you work with just one agency who covers both your organisation’s corporate travel management and it’s meeting, event and incentive needs.
What are the benefits of consolidating corporate travel and event spend?
Saves time
Your time is valuable and managing corporate travel and events has become increasingly challenging and time consuming. When using a separate provider for each, there’s a need to maintain two separate relationships, costing you additional time in your already busy schedule.
Makes your travel and events spend work harder
There can be a tangible, detrimental cost of splitting your travel and events spend across multiple suppliers. This is especially true when your corporate travel hotel bookings are separate to your meetings and events hotel bookings; hotels will view what your organisation spends in silo. By having a fragmented programme, you miss out on the best rates and discounts from suppliers.
Consistency of service
Your executives know that when they need support they can turn to you, as you know their precise business needs. That feeling is no different to the support you need when organising corporate travel and events. By using one trusted supplier for you, your travellers and your delegates needs, you will benefit from consistent and extraordinary service across the board.
Duty of care
Nothing matters more than the safety of your people and ensuring they’re well looked after while they are on the move or attending events. When a major incident occurs, a travel management company’s risk management and emergency travel team are there to provide you with the support you need to ensure they’re safe and accounted for.
While many events agencies are not 24/7/365, one with a travel management arm is likely to have an out-of-hours department. By consolidating to one supplier, no matter whether the unexpected happens when travelling or at a meeting, at night or during the day, the supplier has all the information at their fingertips to jump into action and get your people home safely.
Group travel
Getting your team of executives to one place at one time can be a challenge, especially when they’re coming from different locations and when everyone has packed calendars. A supplier who understands the intricacies of both meetings and travel logistics has a proven track record of ensuring everyone’s needs are met and that they get to where they need to be safely and on time.
