Cain Travel: Travel Management

| | | | | |

TRAVEL MANAGEMENT

Managing Your Travel Program...

The term ‘travel management’ is bantered about with too much frequency in the travel agency market place today. From the perspective of Cain, ‘travel management’ is much more than simply fulfilling an air, hotel or car reservation.

A well-run, managed travel program is comprised of a number of factors. While a travel policy and management support of such are key components, the travel company has much to do with its success and value.

Professional Consulting

For many corporations today, travel represents one of their largest yet most discretionary expenses. Our experienced professionals work in concert with our clients to provide 'best practice' consulting, while managing the day-to-day needs that their travel programs demand.

Policy Enforcement

Through proprietary development, Cain can provide comprehensive travel policy enforcement through both agent-assisted and online reservations. Out-of-policy events can be documented for reporting, and/or detailed on a daily, ‘pre-trip’ violation report that provides the ability to address the reservation prior to final purchase.

Approval Process & Customized Data

Through Cain, we provide a myriad of approval process procedures to meet the specific requirements of our clientele. These process are in place for both traditional agent-assisted reservations, as well as through our online purchasing tools.

Ability to track & sort by customer-specific accounting fields. In addition, ability to broadcast reporting to multiple individuals, providing the ability for department/cost-center managers to view only travel information pertaining to their specific teams.

Travel & Data Consolidation

Cain Travel assists companies in the overall consolidation of their travel programs and consolidation of their data on an international scale. We work with clients to identify overall spend, vendor segmentation and potential cost reduction strategies for their consolidated travel spend. Our expertise in this area allows us to assist companies that are growing through acquisition, or who have simply been fragmented in their travel spend. In support of consolidation efforts, we provide:

Consolidated vendor negotiation on a nationwide or worldwide basis
Centralized data control to provide single-view reporting
Service programs to match time-zone needs
Service level benchmarks that are measurable for our clientele who utilize our partner agencies in the UK, EU and Australia
