In many companies, travel is the second biggest area of spend after payroll, which is why few can afford to leave travel costs un-managed.
Over half of the £30billion+ spent by British companies on business travel this year will be managed through travel management companies, or TMCs. So what’s a Travel Management Company?
We help smaller companies to save money and time, by giving them the means to book business travel through a single point rather than losing productivity whilst individual employees waste time making their own arrangements.
For larger organisations, we help to shape business travel policies that maximise compliance and leverage maximum savings.
Regardless of the company’s size, location, spend or travel needs we leverage the buying power of all Chambers clients to secure the lowest possible hotel rates, air and rail fares.
Mobile travel apps and social networking are changing the way in which travel is booked and consumed.
And by establishing trip approval and business travel cost control protocols within travel policies we work with our clients to change buying behaviour, eliminate un-necessary travel and streamline expense processes.
We also provide the technology that captures every booking and enables travellers’ whereabouts to be tracked whilst away on business — especially important when disaster strikes and you need to meet your Duty of Care obligations.
Mobile travel apps and social networking are changing the way in which travel is booked and consumed. We were amongst the first TMCs to incorporate these innovations into our travel management toolkit.
Changing the way business travel is managed
Apart from our technology, what really sets Chambers aside from other TMCs is the way we deliver our service and the way we manage every client relationship.
Our service is based on understanding and mutual trust. We believe no-one works harder to understand their clients better and that we provide great service consistently well.
You don’t have to take our word for it. See our client feedback below to fully understand the value we offer our clients. (Stats are taken from the Chambers Travel 2014 client survey):
1. Delivering a Quality Service — 97 per cent of customers said that Chambers meets or exceeds their expectations.
2. Delivering Value for Money — 91 per cent of customers said that Chambers meets or exceeds their expectations.
3. Knowledge & Skills of Consultants — 95 per cent of customers say that Chambers meets or exceeds expectations.
4. Efficiency of Consultants — 95 per cent of customers say that Chambers meets or exceeds expectations.
To demonstrate the difference we could make to your business we’ll carry out an independent audit of your company’s travel activity free of charge.
We’ll look at what’s being spent, where and by whom, and show you how to cut travel costs. It’s the way we do things. We call it The Chambers Way.
