Do you really know how much your company is spending on travel?

July 4, 2018

Think you know your company’s total travel spend? Think again. With travel spends often fragmented across multiple sources, it can be hard to keep track of your overall figures. It’s not unusual for a company’s travel costs to come from a number of different places. Your employees might be booking their own travel and expensing it; your travel booker might be using a corporate card to book online, or using multiple payment methods through multiple travel management companies (TMCs); alternatively, they might not be booking via a TMC at all, instead using a hotel booking tool or booking directly online.

The vendors’ view on the transition to a world of Offers and Orders

whitePaper | October 13, 2022

Based on present trends, we believe it will be possible for some airlines and their partners to see a world of 100% Offers and Orders by 2030. This means that full capabilities, based on global open standards and a modular architecture, need to be ready and available for any airline that wishes to embark on this journey. In partnership with key industry players, IATA has published a vision of a world with 100% Offers and Orders. The New Distribution Capability (NDC) has been a catalyst in this journey to airline retailing. However, many implementations sell rely on legacy artefacts such as filed fares, booking classes, PNRs and E-Tickets/EMDs.
