5 ways technology can support your people
Growing companies have to move quickly. You probably have a number of different balls (not to mention travellers) in the air at any given time. And when you’re both time-scarce and cost-driven, agility, flexibility and efficiency are all important, as is the safety of your team.
Travel tech moves quickly too. We now live in a world where contactless check-in, biometrics, digital wallets and e-tickets are the norm rather than the exception. And if you’re with FCM, you can book travel in minutes, download reports and process payments from any device. Which is pretty slick.
But most importantly, today’s tools can help keep your travellers safe.
Here are just five ways our quick, responsive, a enhanced travel management platform, can take your risk management to the next level.
1. Traveller confidence
Say goodbye to uncertainty and hello to smoother, seamless travel. With Arrivon your travellers will receive instant updates and alerts direct to their mobile device. Flight delay? Gate change? Security alert? It's never been easier to update your travellers while they're on the move.
2. Solid comms (and instant support)
Of course, communication goes both ways. We provide you with a unique team of travel experts (you know, the reassuring human on the other end of the phone), who your travelers can contact whenever they need. Wherever they are and at any time, your dedicated team offers your employees instant assistance at their fingertips, via app, email or telephone.
No call center here, but real support, 24/7.
3. Traveller tracking
When it comes to ensuring smooth journeys for your travelers and keeping your travel managers informed, real-time access to comprehensive data is key. This means having easy access to information on traveler whereabouts and any potential risks they may encounter.
Customized dashboards offer a quick overview of all your travelers, including details such as flight schedules, estimated arrival times, accommodation arrangements, and upcoming itineraries. With this information at your fingertips, you can have peace of mind and the ability to respond promptly to any situation that may arise.
4. Traveller wellbeing
FCM’s Key Account Managers can look closely at your travel data to flag any areas of concern. For example, are one or two travellers carrying the majority of the load? Are you booking many long-haul flights, or early departures?
Once you understand your company’s travel behaviour you can focus on employee wellbeing, including premium-class bookings for long-haul flights; guesthouses or serviced apartments for longer stays; and more perks (including lounge access) for frequent fliers.
5. Sustainability
As more organizations prioritize eco-friendly practices, there's a growing demand for sustainable options in every aspect of travel. We provide access to the most sustainable routes and suppliers, empowering your travelers to make informed choices.
With features like a carbon calculator and clear displays of CO2 emissions, you gain greater visibility into your carbon footprint. This facilitates better decision-making and encourages responsible booking behavior.
Through transparent emission reports and customized travel policies, we're dedicated to helping you seamlessly integrate sustainability into your travel experience.
The power of technology is changing the very nature of corporate travel. For business travellers today, 24/7 availability and support is not just a convenience, it is a necessity. FCM’s end-to-end solution puts people, information, innovation, and safe, responsible travel at the heart of your travel programme.
