As a start-up, brand, SME or corporate, if you want to look beyond just booking, into managing and controlling travel costs, then a consumer travel website is not the right fit. Corporate travel being the 2nd largest P&L expense, it is important that you have a corporate tool to book and manage your corporate travel.
In my opinion, corporate travel is probably the biggest unsolved problem in business today. It’s a broken trillion-dollar industry. Yeah, you heard right! It’s a broken trillion-dollar industry. And I’ll tell you why it sucks…
– Big travel agencies like Amex, BCD control 10% of business trips and look after the travel needs of big corporates like J&J and McKinsey. Although they fall under “managed travel” they are simply unaffordable.
– 20% of business trips are booked on consumer websites like Expedia & Booking.com. But they are “unmanaged”. Here your employee is the travel agent, does not follow any company policy, looks at 12 different websites, then goes UP-DOWN with visa, passport, forex, insurance before completing the booking. Huge mess for the company – No control on spending, invoices & reimbursements. Eventually, very expensive & inefficient.
– Neighbourhood agents or so-called travel agencies control the rest of the 70%. Totally “unmanaged”. Can’t get worse than this.
