Let’s not play it any other way – consolidating is a massive undertaking. But it doesn’t have to be overly stressful. When you define your goals and map out the right pathway to the top, it’s much more manageable. Get off on the right foot by choosing one of the three paths – otherwise known as our 3 Pillars of Consolidation – to the top.

Effort Consolidation

So you think having different TMCs in different regions is efficient for a best-in-market solution. We’re not here to tell you what to do. But if you’re ready to stop duplicating your efforts – especially when there’s a global travel policy change – Effort Consolidation may be for you.

Knowledge Consolidation

Are you streamlining data and information flows to get a clearer picture of your travel program? You’re completing a Knowledge Consolidation. Gone are the days of corrupted data, duplicate traveller profiles, and data scattered across separate apps.

It’s time to think strategically when facing a travel program consolidation 

The motivators for travel program consolidation may seem obvious. You want one point of contact, one fee structure, one vendor, but you may be surprised to hear that consolidation is much more nuanced.  Examining your ‘why’ more closely helps refine not only the reasons for your consolidation, but the outcomes. And what does that add up to? A stronger, more efficient, and streamlined program that saves you time, effort, and money.

Consolidation Stories

Consolidation is such a monumental undertaking and at FCM, we don’t take that lightly. We’re proven changemakers with more than 300 multinational clients. Over the years, we’ve consolidated more than $2 billion in travel spend. Below are some of our consolidation stories. 

Through our partnership with FCM, we have been able to grow and more efficiently manage our travel program. Additionally, the timely response and guidance we’ve received from our account management team has been great – they are always just a phone call or email away!

-Leigh Stevens, Manager, Team Member Services, Tractor Supply Company

[FCM is] large enough to provide you with the service and technology that you need but not so large that you get lost in the mix. We have about 6 different business units, and they all have a travel budget. [They’re] a lot of work, but I receive great detail and great reporting information.
