Corporate travel is essential for a company to grow and compete internationally. However, rising travel costs can strain company budgets. The solution is not to cut travel or sacrifice quality. The real solution is to provide significant savings from the budget using smart travel strategies and technological tools.
Commonly Misknown Saving Methods and Facts
Many companies force staff to stay in cheaper hotels or prefer flights at the worst times to save money. However, such practices reduce employee satisfaction, decrease travel efficiency, and can bring greater costs to your company in the long run (for example, the performance of a tired employee in a meeting).
Real savings are achieved through strategic purchasing, policy management, and automation. How can Kurumsal.pro help you in this process?
Reveal Hidden Costs
In addition to direct costs such as flight tickets and hotels, invisible costs such as taxis, meals, visa fees, baggage, and cancellation penalties make up a significant part of the total travel budget. Make all these expenses visible with Kurumsal.pro's detailed reporting system.
Smart Saving Strategies with Kurumsal.pro
Non-Flexible Ticket Purchase
If the travel plan is certain, non-refundable tickets are 30-40% cheaper than flexible tickets. Encourage the purchase of such tickets for travels with finalized plans in your policy.
Use of Alternative Airports
Major cities have multiple airports (e.g., IST and SAW for Istanbul). sometimes using the secondary airport instead of the main one can create a significant price difference. Our system automatically shows these alternatives.
Corporate Agreements and Consolidation
You can make special corporate agreements with airlines and hotels by guaranteeing a certain number of overnight stays or flight volume annually. Kurumsal.pro offers you this bargaining power by consolidating the travel volume of all your companies.
Early Booking Culture
Remember that the closer you book to the travel date, the more prices increase. Enforce the rule "Booking must be made at least X days before travel" with Kurumsal.pro's policy module.
