Travel risk management software
The world is full of uncertainties. Your travellers’ safety shouldn’t be one of them.
A travel risk management platform doesn't just arm your travellers with information – it’s a shield against the unknown. And the safer your employees feel on the road, the more confident and productive they’ll be.
That being said, not all travel risk management (TRM) software is created equal – and with so many options available, how can you be sure your platform is up to the task? To help you find the best platform for your business, we’ve compiled a list of the top 5 features to look for in TRM software.
1. Risk assessments
Your business has a commitment to duty of care. And to keep your travellers safe, they need to feel safe.
A reliable travel risk management platform will give your travellers (and you) peace of mind on the road. It could at best save your employees from getting stranded at the airport after a cancelled flight – and at worst save your travellers from getting stranded at a destination where their health and safety are at risk.
Preparation is the first step in travel planning. And the best way to prepare your travellers for new or international destinations? Pre-travel risk assessments. TRM software will collect and analyse information about your travellers, their destination, and their itinerary. Each trip will then be scored for risk, allowing you to provide necessary travel assistance, or block high-risk trips altogether.
2. AI powered reporting
AI is more than just a hot topic. It’s the tool that will keep your travellers on track so you can have their back.
You worked hard to write a business travel policy that gets the most out of your budget while keeping your people safe. So when travelling employees make non-compliant booking decisions, they’re not just putting your business.
With custom, on-demand reporting, you can easily spot out-of-policy bookings and risky destinations, giving you the knowledge you need to tighten up traveller compliance. FCM Platform’s AI Powered Reporting will instantaneously deliver the statistics you need to identify potential threats (both mundane and life-threatening) prior to travel and quickly respond to a critical incident during their journey.
The outcome: you fulfill their duty of care, save money on leakage, and identify future cost-saving opportunities all from one management portal.
3. Traveller tracking
With efficient tracking technology, you can keep tabs on travellers’ locations in real-time so you always know where to reach them. Whether they’re hitting the slopes on downtime, or closing deals in bustling cities, your employees will never be truly alone.
And if a crisis rises, help is just one click away. From medical emergencies, to natural disasters and civil unrest, traveller tracking enables you to promptly pinpoint and assist any affected travellers. In situations where every minute matters, this travel security will aid in providing timely medical attention, evacuation, or other necessary support. That’s not just a tool you can count on – it’s a tool every company needs.
4. Real-time safety alerts
Despite your best TRM efforts, you can’t account for everything. Situations change, plans evolve – but that doesn’t mean your travel risk management programme has to be left blindsided.
That’s where mobile applications can help.
With the right mobile app on your side, your travellers can receive instant notifications about potential risks or incidents that could affect your corporate travel plans. With a real-time alert system, travel managers can keep their travellers informed about any hiccups on their journey, enabling your team toward swift responses and effective crisis management.
Your travellers need up-to-date information from anywhere, any time, and on any device. Give them reliable updates and easy support from a risk management mobile app.
Whether it's a sudden flight delay or a local protest that might disrupt your plans, your travellers will be in the know.
5. 24/7 support
Jetlag and unexpected travel snags don't stick to a 9-to-5 schedule. That's why you need round-the-clock support.
If things don’t go to plan, your travellers need to know where to turn. Give them a way to access support when and where they need it.
Reliable travel risk management software offers chat-based traveller assistance that's available 24/7. That’s anytime, anywhere support available by chat, email, or phone. Your travellers will be relieved to know there’s someone on hand to help them through high-stress, inconvenient situations.
