The travel world as you know it…
All good Travel Managers know that the market is changing. Agents act on behalf of multiple suppliers, requirements are entered through centralised booking platforms and nobody expects to pay the ticket price. For flights and hotels this is now the norm, so what about taxis and chauffeurs?
Your company should be asking itself…
How many taxi or chauffeur journeys are our staff taking each year?
Do we have a simple but reliable way of booking these journeys?
Can passengers receive booking confirmations at any time or place?
How much money are we spending on surface transport each year?
Does our organisation get the best price for each and every journey?
Has a reduced rate ever been negotiated for regular bookings?
How many times has a booking been offered to more than one supplier?
How many good suppliers do we currently have access to?
Are suppliers' quotes retained and checked against their invoice?
How many different invoices do we have to deal with each month?
How many credit card statements do we have to distribute each month?
How much time is being wasted dealing with inquiries and complaints?
The level playing field
The only way to reduce costs in a fair and honest way is to allow approved suppliers to see and quote for work online, while enforcing strict service levels and monitoring all activity 24 hours a day 365 days a year. BTR is totally up front when it comes to pricing. We add £3.00 per booking and do not charge suppliers to enroll on the platform. We have shown savings of well over 10% for every existing customer so we are confident that we can do the same for you.
