Even with a solid policy, approval processes and the right tech in place, you’ll still see random expenses from business trips submitted. FCM Platform captures third-party expense data from sources such as Concur Expense to compare what was booked with FCM, and what was expensed out-of-channel.

Travel programme example:

Effective data analysis and transformational insights. This was one of four main goals outlined by China-based electronics firm CVTE when it started looking for a business travel partner. By integrating systems like WeChat and OA into FCM’s online booking tool, they could capture meaningful booking behaviour and patterns. FCM analysed this consolidated data to refine CVTE’s travel programme and create a robust travel policy.

Oil Spill Response wanted to ramp up its wellbeing efforts for response and equipment team members who work 16-hour days. Travel manager Alice Linley-Munro uses FCM Platform to check how many flights are taken outside of business hours, the percentage of red-eye flights taken and weekday vs weekend bookings. Armed with that information, Alice could make trips more bearable by:

• Different accommodation options
• Allowing extra legroom on flights
• Permitting one-day trips to have a pre-flight overnight airport hotel stay
