3 Step Process to Managing Corporate T&E Policy

Through experience managing corporate travel expenses, Teplis Travel has created a comprehensive, 3 step approach to managing corporate travel and expense policies that is sure to help your business:

#1. T&E Policy Consulting

A company’s travel and expense management programs must be simple and easy to follow but also cover all the bases when it comes to employee expenses and your business objectives. Our team can make implementing your travel expense policy much easier.

A smart way to approach implementation is to compile a list of frequently asked questions about your business’s T&E policy. Compile these questions and answers into one helpful guide and share this with the team. In doing so, you’re making the policy process easier and limiting the number of future issues.

#2. Pre-Approval processes for Trips and Itineraries

Pre-approving trips and itineraries is the easiest way to stay ahead of the budgeting process, as well as maximize potential discounts and streamline the booking process for employees. When business trip details are approved by management before employee travel, it allows employees to be better informed about cheaper airfare or hotel rates and it allows businesses to achieve greater efficiency in managing expenses. We’ll help you stay ahead of corporate travel expenses with a pre-approval process.

#3. Visibiligy in Employee Travel Spending

Teplis Travel offers real-time, automated expense reports for increased visibility into employee spending for both executives and employees. When employee expenses are well documented and consolidated into one place, it’s easy to see how much employees are spending and what they’re spending it on. Travel managers and administrators have insight into ongoing company budgets and potential cost-savings while employees have real-time awareness of potential incurred policy violations.

Concur Travel & Expense

Teplis Travel is an SAP Concur Partner. This is a modernized corporate travel and expense management tool that allows Teplis Travel to simplify the T&E process for not only employees but travel managers and executives as well. We save time on manual processes and can support any type of business travel need including expense claims, travel booking, T&E reimbursement, and more!
