Smart ways of working The Travel Company's success is predicated on the fact that cost savings can be achieved without compromising quality. We commit to cost savings to clients, benchmarked against existing spend. The reason we are more effective is because we are more efficient. Management reporting within the company is deliberately flat. We do not have layers of bureaucracy. Instead we train our staff to the highest level and give them the authority they need to make decisions. [Continued below]
	Our online systems are set up with each client's travel profile and automatically seek for lowest cost options within this. NvisioN plus, available as an enhancement to the standard NvisioN package, is an effective cost management tool which focuses on low cost airline options. I-Fare, which gives our consultants access to over three quarters of a million fares including The Travel Company's negotiated net fares, transcends airfares to cover add-ons such as car rental, marking savings of up to 40% on book price. CoRRe Fare Finder is a system that continuously searches for any lower published and negotiated fares and special offers, right up to the point of ticketing. It can be programmed to client specifications, so price changes beyond a set level trigger an automatic review. It also searches for waitlisted seats, converting over 45% of requests, and audits hotels to make sure our clients always take advantage of the lowest rates.

	Trust through transparency We use our negotiating power and that of our partners, to give our clients better deals on flights, hotels and other travel elements than they could ever negotiate themselves. We are entirely open with our clients about how and where savings are made, providing regular activity reports and performance reviews.
Moreover, we provide on or offline MIS reports and built in authorisation procedures which all clients to track expenditure themselves, keeping firm control of company travel expense.
