Working with an esteemed travel management company (TMC) should deliver cost savings as part of a customized strategy that is created to provide you with a lasting return on investment (ROI). A managed travel program has\u00a0many benefits<\/a>\u00a0beyond cost savings and enhanced productivity. Acendas recommends key financial strategies<\/a>\u00a0to be incorporated at the foundation of a managed travel program.<\/p>\n

A crucial element of a managed travel program is policy compliance. Your TMC should assist with measuring policy compliance to identify the ROI of the implemented policies. In addition, Acendas recommends the following four methods to successfully gain a continuous ROI:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Manage duty of care.<\/strong> Due to the risks<\/a>\u00a0related to business travel, your company is obligated to protect its travelers through methods including: proactive alerts, contingency plans, and completely combined and modified solutions. Your TMC should play a major role in duty of care by delivering ongoing, reliable value by investing in the security of your travelers.<\/li>\n
  2. Analyze comprehensive data. <\/strong>Through your TMC\u2019s reporting tool, the company gains an outlook of total travel spend, which your TMC will use to examine and decrease travel costs. An essential aspect of your TMC relationship is maturing a quantifiable travel program that recognizes developments, enhances your results, and due to capable reporting, persists to confirm that duty of care requirements are satisfied.<\/li>\n
  3. Improve policy compliance. <\/strong>Compliance to a\u00a0well-defined\u00a0policy\u00a0can single-handedly have an instant impact on your program and your company\u2019s bottom line. Your TMC should collaborate with you to\u00a0reevaluate the travel policy<\/a>, implement customized solutions, through proficient performance management, and complete data reporting to confirm that compliance is maintained. Industry trends and market conditions pushed to increase policy compliance<\/a>, which should include strategies to engage travelers.<\/li>\n
  4. Control traveler behavior. <\/strong>In collaboration with your TMC, a company should review traveler\u2019s purchasing patterns and actively motivate behavior to produce enhanced results. Through comprehending your traveler\u2019s choices, your TMC can efficiently confirm a larger ROI by assisting you to increase your budget while reducing spend throughout the program from fares to ancillary fees.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
