Travel policy compliance is the critical factor in managing and reducing expenditures.
How do you make sure that your people adhere to the guidelines set forth in your
travel policy? Peak travel offers multiple methods to ensure your people travel
as per your corporate travel policy.
Travel Policy Compliance Method #1 - Programmed Online Self-Booking Tools
The reason corporations like custom self-booking tools is because they can be programmed
to only offer your preferred vendors and special negotiated rates and fares. Your
traveler may have a frequent flyer on another airline, but will be funneled into
booking the preferred corporate vendor effectively moving market-share. The tools
work how according to how they are programmed. If your corporate travel policy mandates
lowest cost flights, they may only offer connections. Someone may want the non-stop
flight, but won't be able to book it if it cost more. If a traveler overrides the
system and makes a reservation outside of your corporate policy, an authorization
is sent to the manager in charge looking for the OK to issue the ticket.
Travel Policy Compliance Method #2 - Integrated Custom Quality Check Programs
Peak Travel will create a quality control custom check that will not allow agent
assisted reservations to complete unless they meet travel policy guidelines. Custom
check programs are programmed to make sure preferred vendors and least cost rates
are used. Additionally, all accounting entries must be complete as well. Custom
checks are a primary method in making sure your travel policy is adhered to.
Travel Policy Compliance Method #3 - Pre-Ticketing Quality Control Procedures
Peak Travel is proud of our commitment to quality control processes. Each reservation
is put through multiple software programs to make sure of travel policy compliance.
These programs search for lowest fares and rates from both preferred vendors and
other suppliers. They will inspect date contiguity and look for proper confirmations.
Once a reservation is cleared by our automated systems, they are inspected by one
of our elite quality control agents and set up for e-ticket issuance. If a traveler
requests a reservation outside of your corporate policy, an authorization is sent
to the manager in charge looking for the OK to issue the ticket. Tickets will not
be issued unless an approval is received by a manager.
The result of this extensive commitment to quality process is that you can be assured
of travel policy compliance. Reservations that are processed through one of our
Peak reservation systems will follow your corporate travel policy or it will require
your authorization to complete.
