Travelocity Business to Integrate with ExpenseWatch.com to Drive Savings to Mid-Size Business Travel Programs
Conshohocken, PA, and Southlake, TX | ExpenseWatch.com™ will integrate its expense management technology with Travelocity Business®, one of the business travel industry’s fastest-growing agencies. Targeted at small to mid-size programs looking to enhance automation and efficiency across the entire travel cycle, the integrated solution offers companies a comprehensive, fully-integrated travel and expense management system.
Travelocity Business will demonstrate the solution at booth 427 during next week’s National Association of Business Travelers International Convention and Expo in San Diego. TBiz clients will have access to the integrated ExpenseWatch.com offering in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Travelocity Business, a full-service corporate travel management company, offers multi-national companies a compelling combination of best-in-class automation with a complete array of traditional travel management services. More than 85 percent of Travelocity Business bookings are made online, evidence of the agency’s ability to maximize savings for clients and drive travelers to use preferred suppliers.
The ExpenseWatch.com solution complements Travelocity Business’ creative use of dynamic messaging and supplier preferencing at the point-of-sale, giving corporations another option to monitor everyday spend and guide travelers to make policy-compliant choices. Clients deploying the integrated offering can measurably reduce the opportunities for out-of-policy spending and fraud.
ExpenseWatch.com accounts for the dynamic nature of business travel and keeps a running tab of booked versus expensed travel for the life of each expense report. Expense report filers, approvers and accounting reviewers can see at a glance the anticipated expense for hotel, airfare and car at the time travel was booked, compared with the actual amounts being submitted for reimbursement for those same items.
“The Travelocity Business offering to corporations, with its mix of creative automation and strategic policy management, is ideal for empowering small and mid-sized businesses to control and maximize travel spend,” said Bill Vergantino, president and CEO of ExpenseWatch.com. “We’re pleased to work with TBiz and help its clients benefit from streamlined expense management.”
“Every customer is different, from their industry to their size, to the regulations they must adhere to,” said Blake Goodwin, vice president of product marketing for Travelocity Business. “ExpenseWatch.com has the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of travel and expense policies with proven, user-friendly technology. We’re confident that our integrated solution will bring a compelling, comprehensive option to mid-size firms that just now are taking significant steps towards corralling travel spend and maximizing the value of each business trip.”
