The cost of business travel for companies is a necessary expense and usually a significant part of company budgets. Therefore, spending less, spending better, keeping costs down, and maintaining high-quality standards are just as important.

 

Is it possible to reduce costs or to save? Of course it is: it’s necessary to act on direct costs—travelling costs– as well as on indirect costs—managing costs–by applying some key criteria:

  • Using a professional and competent travel management company that listens to the special needs of every company.
  • Introducing and applying a business travel policy.
  • Moving up the booking time.
  • Negotiating contracts with the most used and trusted suppliers.
  • Implementing a self-booking tool.
  • Having complete and detailed reports.

Thanks to its skilled teams btexpert is able to follow your company and its specific requests in every phase of organizing business travel: from consulting, to flow analysis, and finally, data reports.
