Discover Business Travel Made Simple.

We listened carefully to what is necessary in a managed travel programme and created Business Travel Made Simple, one solution that brings together the best in travel technology and services to meet your organisation and traveller needs and demands. No complicated contracts, simple commercial terms, swift implementation, and employee engagement from the very start with both online and offline support 24/7/365.


Key Highlights

Business Travel Made Simple will have your travellers booking travel and saving you money in no time at all.

Pricing

Let’s not waste time spending hours negotiating complex pricing structures and endless clauses in what seems like a never-ending contract. We provide simple and straightforward pricing with a contract that is only two pages long.

Implementation

From start to finish, we have a complete suite of tools to make sure you are up and running quickly and efficiently.

Change Management

Easy-to-tailor employee communication tools will help you educate and support your travellers’ use of the technology and travel bookings, and we’ll provide advice when they need it quickly and effectively.

Technology to Know your Travellers

Business Travel Made Simple understands your travellers and technology is at the core of it. We deliver a personal seamless experience whether you are booking online or speaking to one of our consultants. It means that your travellers can book and communicate with us 24/7/365 no matter where they are. It also empowers our consultants so that they know your travellers even before they pick up the phone, answer an email message, or reply to a chat request.

Savings and Compliance

If your travellers are booking within policy, it saves you time, money, and anxiety. Our booking channels encourage your travellers to only book within your policy, maximising your savings and making sure you know where your travellers are, for peace of mind. Plus our relationship with suppliers means that you don’t have to worry about negotiating rates. We do all of that for you.

Reporting

A clear and comprehensive dashboard gives you access and reports when you need them. You’ll know when you need to make a change to policy and communicate to your travellers using the suite of templates available to you.

On the road

If any of your travellers face delays, we will contact them and provide the right support to get them moving again as quickly and as safely as possible. Our proactive locating and rebooking service helps your travellers avoid disruptions and stay productive
