FCM Travel in Japan
Global travel management with Japanese character
Corporate travel in Japan comes with friction. It’s largely due to the country’s strong focus on domestic travel, and the fact this travel content (such as airfares and hotel rates) isn’t accessible in travel technology platforms. In a bid to accommodate all these different vendors, it’s become a fragmented travel technology landscape.
Until now. Step in FCM Platform, built to be flexible. FCM Platform plugs into global and local online content providers to show them in one place, making booking business travel in Japan smoother. In a country where digitalisation is key, it’s this level of customisation that will reduce travel booking friction and improve traveller safety.
Globally connected, Japan character
FCM Platform has the same core travel experience in Japan as it does in the rest of the world, including profile management, approvals, reporting and safety and risk dashboards across all devices. That’s global consistency!
But while we had ticked the boxes with access to global tools like Concur and Cytric, we knew something special was needed. To be locally connected, it was critical that Japan’s local complexities were built into the design of our global platform, with considerations including a heavily domestic travel market, language and local travel content providers.
