Objective

  •  Introduce a competitive fee structure
  • Increase visibility via management information systems (MIS)
  • Implement a hotel program
  • Reduce booking time and improve processing efficiency

Overall, the main objective was to improve the efficiency of the booking process through consolidation of travel into an official travel program.

Solutions

Through the implementation phase, CTM used structured processes to collect and collate data to build the online portal and staff profiles. As the client wanted a system in place as quickly as possible, CTM arranged for the client to begin trading in an offline environment while the online portal was being completed. From contract signing to going live, implementation took just two weeks. Once the online system was in place, CTM delivered a series of face-to-face training sessions with key bookers.

Another key requirement identified was the need to review hotel expenditure. Initial analysis showed limited visibility over spend.

CTM worked with the client to identify key travel locations and estimate the number of room nights required in these areas. Using these insights, a structured, bespoke hotel program with negotiated preferential rates was developed.

Outcome

  • 94.37% – online adoption (ferry travel can only be booked offline)
  • Preferred hotel program – increased compliance via preferred hotels, providing greater visibility for future renegotiations
  • Centralized MIS for accurate travel spend analysis and reporting
  • Removal of first class rail travel and flights, reducing spend by 10%
  • Three geographical pricing caps for hotel bookings – in and out of London and provinces
