Save your company time and money on business travel

What are the drawbacks of each solution.

• Need to compare various websites and pay out of pocket in order to secure the best price
• Many hidden costs, with fees for cancellations and changes
• Many back-and-forth emails when booking for companies
• Need to pay upfront
• No support for issues on the road
• Time-consuming manual reimbursing and expense tracking
• Impossible to ensure compliance with company travel policy
• Online booking tools are typically buggy, with bad UX
• Employees end up calling support or book, when they’d rather save time by booking for themselves, with the options they want
• Costly service
• Above-market transport/accommodation prices
• Company policy compliance is difficult to guarantee
• Lack of travel inventory and options
• Clunky user experience that travelers don’t enjoy
• Offshore customer service, typically ranked as the top frustration in customer reviews
• Often overly complicated and feature-laden
• Impossible to control travel when travelers can’t or won’t use the tool
• Lacks low-price flights and hotels available online
• Impossible to guarantee company policy compliance

The pillars of modern travel management:

• Trust – Trust travelers to book using the approved process and policy, and make it easy for them
• Transparency – Let travelers see what they’re allowed to spend and choose accordingly, and let finance and administrative teams see what is being booked and why.
• Simplicity – Create a process that works and meets everyone’s needs.
• Impact – Measure the impact of business travel on the company and reduce unnecessary trips that leave travelers exhausted and businesses with needless expenses.
• Duty of care – Ensure a thorough duty of care strategy is in place to mitigate risks for employees when traveling
• Sustainability – Being aware of the impact of travel on the environment and adopting good practices to reduce the effect

How can a good corporate travel program help companies to save money?

Ensuring compliance with company travel policy, access to more affordable flight options, stay on top of travel spending trends, six steps to managing corporate travel effectively.

• Choose a smart booking tool
• Assure 24/7 travel support
• Create policies and approval workflows
• Organize and utilize travel spend data in real-time
• Improve collaboration between admin and finance
• Reduce your company’s carbon footprint

1. Choose a smart booking tool

• Self-booking within policy – Trust your travelers to book what they need, and set up policies and parameters
• Consolidated invoicing – The ability to get one monthly invoice for all travel from one vendor, instead of having it spread across the web
• Travel spend reporting – Easy access for all finance and administrative team members who need to track travel itinerary details and spend by cost centers, tags or labels
• Easy booking process that travelers love – Invoice consolidation and accurate reporting are impossible if employees want to cheat on the approved tool, so choose a tool that’s easy to use with consumer-grade UX. Make their entire travel experience, from booking to coming home, as easy and smooth as possible. Introducing a mobile app is just an added bonus!
• Great inventory – Inventory is not a side note. Make sure the platform you use has every available option you can find online and that the company is committed to adding more inventory
• Travel support – You need travel assistance that’s available 24/7 in your native language so that employees can get help even when the internal admin team is unavailable

2. Assure 24/7 travel support

Here are the requirements to look for in travel support:.

• Available 24/7
• Easy to reach a real human
• Guaranteed follow-up and follow-through
• Native language support
• Fast escalation for big issues

3. Create policies and approval workflows

• Maximum cost of airfare
• Maximum cost per hotel per night
• Minimum amount of days booked in advance
• Hotel star rating
• Flight class allowed

Travel Management: The Ultimate Guide

Approval workflows.

• No approval required for any trip
• Approval required for some trips
• Approval required for every trip

4. Organize and utilize travel spend data

• Cost centers – Does your company use different payment accounts for different geographical regions? How many cost centers does the company have? Make sure that travel spend is getting charged to the right accounts and that you're making accurate expense reports.
• Tags and labels – Beyond cost centers, are there any important filters that the finance team would have to have when viewing travel spending reports? For example, would they like each trip tagged by team or by project? Decide upfront so that the tagging system can be implemented clearly from the get-go.
• Keep all travel in one place – to get accurate travel data, you need to keep all travel in one place—whenever possible. Work with a travel management solution that integrates with providers that matter to your company, such as budget airlines, AirBnb or European train lines. If your company has negotiated hotel rates, you want your corporate solution to be able to book those rates for you, so you don’t lose the travel data by booking directly.

5. Improve collaboration between admin and finance

• Streamlined approvals process – If your approval process requires action from the admin and the finance team, try to make this as seamless as possible.
• Easy access invoices – The finance team needs to grab all invoices quickly so they can reconcile expenses and set clear reimbursement processes. The best way to do this is to use a platform that consolidates travel spend into one monthly invoice.
• Ability to track spend instantly – Consolidate all travel spend into one platform so that they can generate reports on what is being spent, by who, and why (when using tags and labels). Same as with the invoices, determine whether you need to send them a monthly report, or if they want to download it themselves.
• Cost savings on trips – Fixing travel isn’t just about saving time. Many businesses are still using travel booking platforms that were built in the 80s and 90s. This means that they markup the inventory so that the company is paying more than a consumer would! Impress the finance team by reducing travel costs and introducing consumer-grade prices for trips.

6. Reduce your company’s carbon footprint

• Work out your starting point by calculating your company’s travel carbon footprint
• Design a green business travel program, which creates data-driven strategies to increase employee commitment
• Choose economy class
• Reduce your fuel consumption where possible
• Pick low-emission airlines and avoid layovers
• Vet your accommodation for sustainability practices
• Utilize green travel tax breaks

The bottom line: it's time to upgrade your travel management

Let’s bring it all together.

• Choose a smart booking tool – Meet everyone’s needs
• Share the burden of travel support – Don’t try to do this alone
• Set up cost centers and labels – Let the tool reflect the business
• Create policies and approval workflows – Put the policy inside the booking process
• Improve collaboration between admin and finance – Grab invoices and reports

Travel Desk Management System: Why Companies should be Concerned?

Companies are dedicating more resources to their travel needs. In developed economies such as the United States, the number of business trips in a calendar year has reached approximately 500 million. Such a scenario pushes the need for an effective Travel desk management system that can systemize the whole process of travel management and offer a number of benefits.

Here is a look at how capable travel management systems are of changing the corporate traveling scenario.

Let’s find out how Travel Desk Management Systems are changing the corporate traveling scenario: 

Streamline business processes:.

Finalizing a travel request is not as easy as the concerned individuals have to initiate multiple rounds of requests. This is not an efficient process as it loses both time and control in many aspects. However, the process can be simplified through certain specific approaches, and it can also become relatively more cost-effective. Modern travel desk management systems can allow employees to book their own trips within the company guidelines. This gives overall satisfaction and freedom to the employees and increases autonomy.

Dedicated Expertise:

A simple travel booking process has many variables that are more than just flight or hotel booking. The process has to be coordinated in every aspect such as airport transportation, baggage restrictions, hotel room booking , flight availability, and so on.

Working with a dedicated partner or an expert agency can be quite beneficial in these situations. Dedicated agencies are updated about the itineraries, changing flight fares, and travel needs. Such experts help businesses stay updated about the information so that they can prioritize, arrange, and manage their requirements accordingly.

Centralized Information Storage:

Businesses now prefer to opt for dashboard-based systems for better decision-making. In every global aspect of the business such as marketing, finance, and sales, single dashboard-like corporate travel management software is replacing manual systems like these can offer a brief and easy-to-understand view of many scenarios that can ultimately help in real-time decision-making. Similarly, such tools and apps are used for corporate travel management . These tools ensure streamlined operations along with enhanced tracking and informed management.

Organic Corporate Travel Data and Auditing Reports:

Strategic travel management induces best practices such as accountability and tracking across the organization. Both aspects are quite necessary for being prepared for budgeting and external tax laws. Travel expenses are huge, but these are usually fragmented, and lack of tracking and small discrepancies can affect a company’s budget. Corporate travel management software can help a business by setting accountability through auditing and facilitating effective management of these expenses.

Endorses a Cost-Conscious Culture:

An automated travel dashboard that is continuously tracking and monitoring all expenses and activities endorses a cost-conscious culture where employees resonate with business objectives and try to control their expenses. Many reports suggest that companies that allow employees to spend on their own and then reimburse their travel expenses tend to allocate more money to their overall travel expenses, which also results in revenue leakage.

Cost Control and Saving

These systems enable companies to enforce travel policies and guidelines, ensuring employees adhere to approved travel options and expenses. Travel Desk Management Systems can integrate with travel vendors, providing real-time pricing and availability information. This allows companies to make informed decisions, negotiate better rates, and track travel expenses accurately, resulting in cost savings.

Time Efficiency

Manual travel management processes can be time-consuming, requiring employees to search for the best travel options, compare prices, and manually process bookings. Travel Desk Management Systems automate these tasks, providing employees with a user-friendly interface to quickly search, compare, and book travel arrangements. This saves time for both employees and travel administrators.

Policy Compliance

Companies often have specific travel policies and guidelines in place to ensure consistency, cost control, and duty of care. Travel Desk Management Systems can enforce these policies by restricting employees to pre-approved vendors, setting spending limits, and flagging policy violations. This helps companies maintain compliance and avoid unauthorized or excessive travel expenses.

What are the Security Measures in Travel Desk Management System Development?

Developing a secure Corporate Travel Management System involves implementing various security measures to protect sensitive information, ensure data integrity, and mitigate potential risks. Here are some key security measures commonly employed:

Authentication and Authorization

Robust user authentication mechanisms should be implemented to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the system. This typically involves strong password policies, multi-factor authentication (such as SMS codes or biometrics), and session management controls. User roles and permissions should be defined to restrict access to specific functionalities based on job roles and responsibilities.

Secure Communication

All communication between the Travel Desk Management System and its users should be encrypted using secure protocols such as HTTPS (TLS/SSL). This prevents unauthorized interception and protects data confidentiality during transmission. Additionally, secure email protocols (such as S/MIME or PGP) can be used for secure email communications.

Data Encryption

Sensitive data, including user credentials, travel itineraries, and financial information, should be encrypted when stored in databases or transmitted over the network. Encryption ensures that even if the data is compromised, it remains unreadable without the appropriate decryption keys.

Secure Payment Processing

If the system involves processing financial transactions, adherence to industry-standard payment card security protocols (such as PCI-DSS) is crucial. It ensures that credit card data is handled securely, including encryption during transmission, secure storage, and compliance with payment card industry standards.

System Auditing and Logging

Implementing comprehensive logging mechanisms allows for the monitoring and auditing of system activities. Logs should capture user actions, authentication attempts, and any suspicious or anomalous behavior. This information can help detect and investigate security incidents and support forensic analysis if needed.

Regular Security Assessments

Conducting periodic security assessments, such as vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, helps identify potential weaknesses in the system. These assessments should be performed by qualified security professionals to uncover vulnerabilities, address them promptly, and ensure the system remains secure over time.

Secure Development Practices

Following secure coding practices during the development process is crucial. This includes using secure coding frameworks, regularly updating software libraries and dependencies, and conducting code reviews to identify and fix any security vulnerabilities. Adhering to secure development practices helps minimize the introduction of security flaws from the early stages of system development.

Employee Training and Awareness

Security awareness training should be provided to employees who interact with the Corporate Travel Management System. This training educates them about common security threats, phishing attacks, and best practices for maintaining data security and privacy. Employees should also be encouraged to promptly report any security incidents or suspicious activities.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Implementing appropriate backup and disaster recovery mechanisms ensures that data can be recovered in the event of a system failure, natural disaster, or cyber-attack. Regularly testing backup and recovery processes helps ensure their effectiveness and availability during critical situations.

Regulatory Compliance

Depending on the industry and the geographical location where the system operates, it may be subject to specific regulatory requirements. Compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may be necessary, requiring the implementation of additional security measures and privacy controls.

By implementing these security measures, Travel Desk Management System developers can significantly enhance the overall security posture of the system, protect sensitive information, and mitigate potential risks and threats.

What are the key components of the Travel Desk Management System?

A Travel Desk Management System typically comprises several key components that work together to facilitate the management of travel operations within a company. These components include:

User Interface

The user interface serves as the front-end of the system, allowing users to interact with the system’s features and functionalities. It provides a user-friendly interface for travel administrators, employees, and other stakeholders to access and utilize various travel management tools and services.

Travel Booking and Reservation System

This component enables users to search, compare, and book flights, hotels, rental cars, and other travel-related services. It integrates with travel vendors or Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to retrieve real-time availability, pricing, and other relevant information. The booking system should support different travel policies, and preferred vendors, and offer options to accommodate various traveler preferences.

Policy Management

The policy management component allows companies to define and enforce travel policies within the system. It includes features such as setting spending limits, preferred vendors, travel approval workflows, and policy violation alerts. This component helps ensure compliance with company policies and guidelines, promoting cost control and consistency in travel arrangements.

Expense Management

The expense management component tracks and manages travel-related expenses incurred by employees. It enables users to submit expense reports, attach receipts, and allocate expenses to specific travel activities. The system may also integrate with accounting or finance systems for seamless expense reimbursement processes and financial reporting.

Reporting and Analytics

This component provides reporting and analytics capabilities to generate insights from travel data. It includes pre-built reports and customizable dashboards that allow travel administrators and management to track travel expenses, monitor policy compliance, analyze travel patterns, and identify cost-saving opportunities. Data visualization tools and advanced analytics help in making informed decisions and optimizing travel management strategies.

Travel Alerts and Notifications

The system can include a component that delivers travel alerts, notifications, and updates to travelers. This may include flight delays or cancellations, travel advisories, weather alerts, or any other information relevant to the traveler’s itinerary. Notifications can be sent via email, SMS, or through dedicated mobile applications.

Travel Risk Management

For enhanced traveler safety, some Corporate Travel Management System integrate travel risk management services. This component provides access to travel risk assessments, destination-specific safety information, emergency contact details, and real-time alerts for potential security threats or disruptions. It helps companies fulfill their duty of care obligations towards their employees.

Integration Capabilities

The system should have the ability to integrate with other business systems such as human resources, accounting, or customer relationship management. Integration allows for seamless data exchange, eliminating duplicate data entry and ensuring consistency across different systems. It also enables data sharing for reporting purposes and facilitates end-to-end travel management processes.

Security and Access Controls

Security components ensure the system’s protection from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security risks. It includes authentication mechanisms, access controls, data encryption, secure communication protocols, and regular security assessments to maintain the system’s security posture.

These components work together to provide a comprehensive Travel Desk Management System that simplifies travel management processes, enhances efficiency, enforces policies, tracks expenses, and promotes traveler safety and compliance within a company.

What technology stack is required for feature-rich Travel Desk Management System development?

Go Hilton Team Member travel program

Booking a go hilton stay.

Eligible Team Members and their authorized family / friends must each log in at the Go Hilton booking site with their own Hilton Honors sign-in and password to manage their own reservations. 

Tips for Finding Go Hilton Rates

Use the flexible dates feature.

• Search for a 1-night stay and click the 'My dates are flexible' box, which will let you see rate availability day-by-day in a calendar view for each hotel you select.
• Ex: If you searched for 3 nights, but only 2 of the nights have the discount available, the search would come up empty. If you do a 1-night search and use flexible dates, you could see availability day-by-day and see the discount for 2 of the 3 nights, which you could book separately if needed.

Mix and match rates

• Ex: Team Member rate might be available for 1 night and not the next, but the Family & Friends rate might be available for the other night.
• If searching for 2 rooms doesn't work, try searching for only 1 room as there may be only one room available at the discounted rate on that particular night.

Be flexible

• Try to book as far in advance as possible to take advantage of all potential availability. If you don't find what you're looking for right away, come back often. Go Hilton rate availability is based on forecasted occupancy, which can change frequently.
• More rooms might become available closer to the desired stay date, especially within 60 days of arrival, since stay dates farther out in the calendar may be more limited and are often booked quickly.
• Consider searching for popular destinations during various seasons or nights of the week when availability may be more plentiful.
• Plan trips around when you find availability for the discounted rates.

Checking in & staying with Go Hilton Rates 

• Team Members must be present at check-in and for the duration of Team Member rate and Family & Friends rate stays booked in their name and Hilton Honors account.
• Authorized family and friends must be present at check-in and for the duration of Family & Friends rate stays booked in their name and Hilton Honors account.
• Non-Team Members, family/friends, etc., cannot use Team Member rates.
• Authorized family/friends can travel without the authorizing Team Member when staying under their own Family & Friends rates, but the family/friends do need to make their own reservations by signing into the Go Hilton booking site with their own Hilton Honors account.

Number of rooms per stay

• For each hotel stay, eligible Team Members may reserve up to 2 Team Member rate rooms and 2 Family & Friends rate rooms, for a total of up to 4 rooms in their own name and Hilton Honors number.
• Team Members’ approved family / friends may reserve up to 2 Family & Friends rate rooms per hotel stay (family / friends must make their own bookings with their own Hilton Honors account).
• "Extra” Team Member and “Extra” Family & Friends rates are combined with and treated like “regular” Team Member and Family & Friends rates for the maximum number of rooms per stay.
• Program users may not book rooms for themselves at different hotels for the same stay dates regardless of the rate booked.

Number of nights per stay

• Eligible Team Members can book up to seven consecutive nights at Team Member rates and up to seven consecutive nights at Family & Friends rates.
• Approved family/friends may book a Family & Friends rate for seven consecutive nights.

Annual allotment of room nights

• Each eligible Team Member can book and / or use up to 30 room nights per calendar year under Team Member rates and up to 70 room nights per calendar year under Family & Friends rates, for a total of 100 room nights per calendar year.
• Each room counts as 1 room night.
• Usage of Family & Friends room nights by approved family / friends counts against the 70 Family & Friends room nights total.
• "Extra" Team Member rates and "Extra" Family & Friends rates do not count against the annual room night allotments.

Hilton Honors Points, stay credit, & hotel benefits

Go Hilton Team Member and Family & Friends rate stays are eligible to earn Hilton Honors Points on both room rates and incidentals and stay credit toward the next tier status, based on Hilton Honors terms and conditions. Hilton Honors members are eligible for all standard Hilton Honors hotel benefits when staying under Go Hilton rates, including room upgrades at check-in based on tier status and hotel availability.

Hilton Honors Relocation & Recovery (Walk Policy)

Occasionally, a hotel may find itself in an overbooked situation. All Go Hilton Team Member and Family & Friends rate reservations in such situations are to be honored as any other reservation for a Hilton Honors member; Hilton Honors Relocation & Recovery policies apply the same to Team Member and Family & Friends reservations as to any other reservation type for overbooked situations. The guest should be relocated to another local hotel within a reasonable distance with all the usual Hilton Honors walk benefits based on the guest's tier status.   

Code of Conduct

• Eligible participants traveling under the  Go Hilton travel programs are bound to the Hilton Code of Conduct. Eligible Participants are expected to embody Hilton Values and uphold the exceptional reputation of Hilton during every stay at member properties. Eligible Participants will be held accountable for any undue duress placed on the hosting property. Behavior inconsistent with program rules and our HILTON Values may result in loss of these privileges and disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Family and Friends of Eligible Participants who use the Family & Friends Travel Program are also a reflection of the Eligible Participant. Any inappropriate behavior by Family and Friends may also result in loss of these privileges for the family/friend and the Eligible Participant.
• Access to Go Hilton discounts may not be sold, auctioned, bartered, brokered, purchased, or otherwise transferred.  Any Go Hilton discounts obtained in this manner will be considered to have been fraudulently obtained and deemed void, resulting in cancellation of the reservations.  This applies to Go Hilton Team Member rates and Family & Friends rates. All such activity is strictly prohibited and will result in loss of Go Hilton privileges for the applicable Team Member and/or Family & Friends and can also result in disciplinary action for the Team Member, up to and including termination. Such fraudulent activity will also lead to closure of the applicable Hilton Honors accounts and forfeiture of any Hilton Honors Points, stay credits, or other related rewards associated with those accounts.
• The following actions will be taken by the Program for any Hilton Honors members who are fraudulently added to a Team Member's Family & Friends list and/or who fraudulently book or use a Team Member's Family & Friends rate room nights without the Team Member's knowledge and consent:  their Go Hilton / Family & Friends rate reservations will be cancelled by the Program; their Hilton Honors account will be closed; and they will forfeit any Hilton Honors Points, stay credits, or other related rewards associated with that Hilton Honors account. The Program will monitor such fraudulent Hilton Honors members going forward, and such fraudulent activity on any new Hilton Honors account the members open will lead to the same treatment as above on the new accounts.
• Team Members should inform all family and friends they authorize to use the program of the Go Hilton Code of Conduct and all Program Rules.
