Researching and evaluating RFP responses from TMCs
Key factors you should consider in your overall travel programme strategy:
Increased value
From retention and traveller safety to time savings, a TMC should be bringing immense value across your company.
Improved service
If your current service isn’t up to scratch, it’s time to get a more personalised, smoother solution and support.
Technology upgrade
Mobile apps, AI-enhanced reporting, browser extension tech. If your tech’s in need of an upgrade, it’s possible.
Savings opportunities
An enhanced tech stack paired with excellent service and proactive account management paves the way for savings.
