Empower your business with smarter corporate travel management services

Corporate travel management is more than overseeing your company’s travel programme. It’s about optimising the travel experience, and aligning to wider business goals, so business travel becomes a strategic category and advantage to your organisation. 

Travel management often comes with compromises. Enterprises want global scale, and local nuance. They want automation and AI, but also quality, human support. A lot of TMCs can’t offer both, so travel managers have to accept that they cannot have the programme they want. FCM is the travel management company that wants to remove the compromise in travel programmes. We are not only flexible, but our dual service and technology model means we are set up to provide a holistic travel service for enterprises. We collaborate with enterprises on what they really want from their travel programme. 

Your programme might start with traveller safety, policy creation and policy compliance to booking flights and accommodation. But as it matures, and with travel data and expert insights, travel management becomes a bigger benefit to your organisation. Benefits could be enhanced efficiency, better travel experiences on business trips, cost savings, sustainability, better content or more alignment with meetings and events. 

A business travel management company (TMC) like FCM is your partner throughout the whole journey, providing the technology, expertise, and support to make your travel programme more efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with those business objectives.

Yes, you can. FCM Platform is built for flexibility and seamless integration. Our platform connects with a wide range of leading expense management systems, HR platforms, and other business tools. This ensures your data flows smoothly between systems, eliminating manual data entry, streamlining reconciliation, and giving you a unified view of your corporate travel spend.

A TMC should be your travel partner throughout every stage of the travel journey, and enhance business travel programme strategy. Enterprises should not accept compromises in their travel service and technology; the two should work seamlessly. 

For business travellers, this means that FCM Platform and your assigned travel consultants are aligned to your objectives and policy. Our team is available 24/7 for emergency support in a crisis, and thanks to AI-driven automation, are across all requirements for rebooking travel. 

At FCM, our support extends to strategic account management to help travel managers like you optimise your programme, dedicated supplier negotiations to secure savings, and hands-on risk management to keep your travellers safe. 

Our clients also engage FCM Consulting for projects and on-going optimisation, such as air programme, hotel sourcing and RFPs, change management projects, and outsourced travel resources. 

Many multi-national organisations are still booking with multiple agencies and channels across the world. This fragmented approach is not the most cost effective, and doesn’t provide the best experience for business trips. 

Corporate travel management through one TMC simplifies the entire booking and approval process by centralising it within a single partner. 

You can configure custom approval workflows that automatically route booking requests to the right managers based on your travel policy. With FCM, you can even do this if the approver and traveller are using different online booking tools. 

Consolidating also means employees get access to a wide range of travel options that are already in-policy, making it easy for them to book for themselves. This eliminates endless email chains, reduces out-of-policy bookings, and gives you complete control and visibility over travel expenditure before it happens.

And with FCM’s intelligence layer Sam, our team are finding ways to automate ordinary, repetitive tasks, so they can focus on extraordinary support and strategy guidance. 

Key advantages include:

• Continued cost savings through negotiated supplier rates and strategic policy control.
• Increased efficiency by using AI to automate bookings and approvals
• Enhanced reporting that tells the true picture of your negotiated rates, and enables you to more easily search for the numbers you need. 
• More robust duty of care through more advanced crisis plans, and a strategy that brings in departments such as leadership, HR, risk and IT. 
• AI integration across technology and consultants means information flows seamlessly, and smoother workflows. 
• Through collaboration with our expert team, you'll identify more opportunities to optimise and innovate in your travel programme, driving even more benefits.
