Maximise your programme with corporate travel consulting services

Travel consulting involves working with experts who specialise in optimising business travel programmes. Consultants evaluate your travel policies, supplier agreements, travel costs, and spend data to identify opportunities to deliver savings, improved compliance, and better traveller experiences.

They use data-driven insights and deep, invaluable industry knowledge to recommend strategies such as global programme standardisation, vendor performance optimisation, and enhanced use of technology. This tailored approach helps organisations streamline their travel programmes, reduce risks, and achieve measurable improvements in efficiency and cost management.

Travel management services are centred on the day-to-day customer experience, operation, support, and administration of a company’s travel programme and traveller trips, ensuring smooth processes and traveller satisfaction.

Consulting engagements are project-based and designed to address companies' broader strategic goals, such as optimising vendor performance, or transforming global policy standards. These consulting initiatives often complement travel management services by delivering insights and advice that drive long-term programme improvement.

Consulting services also include the outsourcing of team members to companies who need additional support in a particular area of their travel programme. Examples can be a data analyst, an online booking tool manager who ensures your tools are set up correctly, and an administrator who responds to traveller enquiries.

Before starting a travel consulting project, you could prepare a request for proposal (RFP). The RFP should clearly define your business objectives, key programme challenges, and the specific analyses required to address these issues. Include expected timelines and success metrics to ensure all stakeholders understand the scope and goals of the project.

Alternatively, you can approach FCM Consulting with your specific challenge or project, and they will work through a proven methodology to understand the full extent of the project, and advise next steps.
