Many companies see a travel agency only as a "ticket issuer". However, as your business volume grows and travels become complex, a standard agency remains insufficient. This is where Travel Management Companies (TMC) come into play. A TMC does not sell tickets; it manages your travel processes, optimizes your costs, and stands by you in times of crisis. Kurumsal.pro offers all the digital tools a modern TMC should have.
Agency vs. TMC: Key Differences
The traditional agency is reactive; you call, they answer. TMC is proactive; takes precautions before a problem arises, offers you opportunities before they arise.
- Focus Point: Agency focuses on "transaction", TMC focuses on "total cost of ownership" (TCO).
- Scope of Service: Agency makes reservations, TMC writes policies, reports, makes supplier agreements.
- Technology: TMC produces its own technology or uses the best systems (like Kurumsal.pro).
Strategic Partnership
Working with a TMC is like establishing a "Travel Department" in your company but without making salary, insurance, and technology investments. Kurumsal.pro is the digital interface that TMCs offer to their customers.
Value Added by TMC
Crisis Management (Duty of Care)
How will you evacuate your staff in situations such as strikes, natural disasters, or pandemics? TMCs know who is where instantly with "Traveller Tracking" systems and intervene immediately.
Consultancy and Analysis
A partner who can say "You made 500 overnight stays at Hotel X last year, let's make a fixed price agreement with them this year" earns you much more than the ticket price.
SLA (Service Level) Guarantee
TMCs work with committed service levels (e.g., answering the phone in 20 seconds, replying to emails in 15 minutes). Performance is measurable.
Technology Integration
TMC integrates into your HR and Accounting systems. Data flow is provided uninterruptedly. Manual processes are eliminated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is TMC service expensive for small companies?
No. Thanks to technology-oriented solutions like Kurumsal.pro, TMC services are now accessible and affordable not only for holdings but also for growing SMEs.
How do we apply our current travel policy to TMC?
TMCs analyze your current policy, complete its deficiencies, and enter it into the digital system (Kurumsal.pro) as a rule set. Thus, the policy does not remain on paper, it is implemented.
What is the reporting frequency?
Your TMC offers you monthly or quarterly "Executive Summary" reports. You can also get your own reports instantly 24/7 via the system.
