Transforming Travel for a Global Charity

The Client: A Global Charity Organisation

Meet our client, a forward-thinking charity whose mission is to transform the lives of young women worldwide. With mobile technologies at their core, they’re breaking barriers and building brighter futures. Here’s a glimpse into their impact:

  • 20+ million people are aware of their brand.

  • Their technology reaches over 12 million users across the globe.

  • They receive 30,000 calls a month.

The Challenge: Streamlining Global Travel

Despite their incredible work, managing travel plans was often a major hurdle due to:

  • Lack of control and visibility of the budget for travel, especially when split by funder.

  • Complex internal approval processes drained resources and caused delays.

  • Lack of visibility on the status of their email requests and overall turnaround times.

  • Travel request forms ran through Salesforce, and any updates to this came at a cost.

  • Each region emails internally, leaving no auditable request trail available at a global level to monitor travel arrangements. 

 

Objectives: Fast, Flexible, Future-Ready

A fast-paced solution was needed to match their ethos. Having used a variety of travel forms, emails, and calls, they went to market to source a trusted business travel management service for the future and to establish a long-term partnership. 

 

The Solution: A Game-Changing Travel Platform

We approached their travel challenges from a fresh perspective, designing a purpose-built Travel Request Platform that transformed their business travel management. Here’s how:

  • We empowered the client with a bespoke, purpose-built Travel Request Platform to assist with booking business travel.

  • They gained access to dedicated travel consultants, who work seamlessly through our cutting-edge travel technology.

  • This resulted in a streamlined, auditable, and user-friendly solution from start to finish.

Given the complexity of their operations, our team of professional travel consultants were still on hand to source, quote, and book all travel and transport (from flights and hotels to airport transfers and car hire).

  • Global integration of offices for seamless collaboration.

  • A live departure board offering real-time insights and itineraries for business trips by traveller and department.

  • Bespoke data capture, streamlining the current reconciliation process for finance and giving control and visibility of the business’ budgets – everything in one place.
