In the dynamic world of corporate transport, travel managers must use many tools to control their businesses’ transport. These tools aim to streamline operations, save costs, and ensure that travel managers have all the control they need when transporting their team.

Here are the different types of business travel management tools and their benefits:

Booking & Ride-Hailing Platforms

A centralised booking platform consolidates flight, accommodation, and transportation arrangements. These offer user-friendly interfaces, real-time updates, and quick solutions to regular travel needs.

Expense Management Systems

Tracking and reconciling travel expenses can be a significant challenge, especially when managing business transport at scale. Modern expense management tools simplify this process by automatically capturing, categorising, and processing expenses.
