Making Sense of the Numbers

Corporate travel is typically a company’s second or third largest area of controllable spending. Acendas Travel’s reporting tools give our clients the consolidated, analyzed, and actionable data they need to quickly address policy compliance issues and maximize their travel program performance.

Transparent Reporting

Global cost savings and cost avoidance should be a primary objective of any travel management program.  Strategic data capture and analysis provided through Acendas Travel’s reporting system are vital to that end.  Continuous monitoring and quarterly business reviews reveal key opportunities to drive additional savings, leverage your spend, achieve program compliance, and possibly capture rogue spending.  Acendas Travel’s reporting system also allows us to analyze overall ROR (Return on Relationship) percentage, total spend, industry benchmarking, contract compliance, KPI tracking, preferred supplier compliance, and potential areas to negotiate and/or consider alternate suppliers.

DecisionSource

To meet our client’s need for actionable data in a convenient, intuitive format, Acendas Travel, through BCD Travel’s resources, has developed the desktop reporting system, DecisionSource. The tool provides clients with access to an array of the standard reports necessary to manage a best-in-class travel program. It has the ability to address unique needs, such as individual traveler scorecards, arrival and departure for group meetings and credit card reconciliation.  DecisionSource facilitates the creation of sophisticated queries, customized reports, “what if” analytical scenarios and summary graphics, exportable in common formats. The following are key features of DecisionSource:

  • Executive Summary Overview – Available as standard reports, this high-level summary provides a quick snapshot of key travel program metrics.
  • DecisionSource Analytics – Interactive accurate, consolidated travel data, all transformed into actionable intelligence on-demand. Ensures Travel Managers can make quick powerful decisions to reduce costs and reach your programs savings/behavioral goals.
  • Return on Relationship Savings Analysis – One of the standard reports, it shows the economic benefit of a managed travel program. Our proprietary technology captures the savings from client’s privately negotiated rates as well as those generated by our programs and affiliations. Savings related to airline, hotel, car rental, exchanged ticket usage, and voided transactions are all documented in the quarterly Return on Relationship Report.

All Access Reporting

Acendas Travel has rolled out a new version of its All Access Reporting technology resource, offering greater ease of use and enhanced data. To get access, clients must reach out to their Acendas Travel account manager and request a username and password. This is a security enhancement for All Access. Not only will more reports be available, but the user interface will be more user friendly. Other enhancements include the ability to schedule reports directly from the platform; email options directly from the platform; and enhanced security features from within the application. The existing reports that our clients have been using — transactions, credit cards, invoice/itinerary — have been revised and enhanced. The inventory/itinerary drilldown can be accessed directly from the transaction reports. Custom client reporting information is contained within the transaction report as well as the invoice reports. The new iteration of All Access now features more summary reporting and queries. Click here to download a PDF for more information.
