A wise man once said that ‘if you can’t measure something, then you can’t manage it’.

When you mix the inevitably emotive topic of travel and accommodation procurement to individuals who operate without a policy, who buy from uncontrolled sources, in a way that goes unreported and is claimed on non-standard expense forms, it is no wonder that travel expenses can quickly become a problem.

our account managers will make recommendations on how to get more value from your travel budget

For most organisations travel is the second largest operating expense after payroll and for the average NGO or University it can quickly become a six or seven figure sum. No matter how big you are, working with Key Travel can help you implement effective budget management measures. Our experience can help you to:

Design a travel policy

Determine your travel policy, who should travel when, and how, and with what authority (prior to any booking!).

Promote and manage the policy

Key Travel consultants will ensure that any bookings are in line with your policy, whether that is ensuring you use the train for short journeys, or booking Premium classes for your VIPs. 

Report on expenditure

Consolidating all of your travel expenditure into one place provides us with a chance to tell you where your money is going. We offer a range of standard reports to all customers that describe everything from your most frequent travellers, to the most common destinations and even the savings that were offered and declined.

Make recommendations

Major accounts will enjoy a regular service review, whereby our account managers will make recommendations on how to get more value from your travel budget. Whether negotiating an individual airline contract to your most travelled destination, consolidating your hotel expense into a preferred hotel programme, or advising on issues of non-compliance, we can help organisations make a major impact on their travel budgets.
