Corporate travel management is the process of managing a company’s travel-related expenses, policies, and procedures. This includes everything from booking flights and hotels to managing expenses and ensuring compliance with the corporate travel policy. But it’s so much more than that. It’s a strategic approach to managing travel arrangements for your business. Corporate Travel Management and consulting are critical to the success of a business travel program. Travel and expense (T&E) is typically the largest expense item for most companies after employees’ salaries and wages, and it can come with a lot of headaches. Wouldn’t it be nice to take the responsibility of booking travel off of your plate and put it on someone else’s? When it comes to your company’s time, dollars, and sanity, working with an expert corporate travel planner is key.
Whether your employees are on the road every week, month, or once in a blue moon, booking their business travel can be time-consuming and costly if it’s not managed properly. Teplis Travel is dedicated to helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) maximize the value of their travel programs. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing personalized support and guidance to help your business navigate the complexities of corporate travel whether it’s inside the United States or international travel, so you can focus on what you do best.
A corporate travel account manager can help companies mitigate travel-related risks, including those related to health, safety, security, and financial risks. Their risk management services cover everything from pre-trip planning and preparation to on-the-ground support and post-travel analysis. They can also provide guidance and assistance with insurance coverage, travel waivers, and emergency response planning.
A consistent, detailed travel plan will reduce risk, increase compliance, and ensure more seamless experiences for your business travelers.
