Services  /  Travel & Supplier Advisory

Recover the value your travel program quietly loses.

An independent, partner-led audit of your managed travel program — built to surface the savings, service gaps, and supplier economics hiding in plain sight.

The Mandate

What we actually do

Most travel programs are negotiated once and inherited for years. Fees creep, content narrows, service quietly downgrades, and no one with the right vantage point ever re-examines the whole picture.

We do — independently, with no agency relationships and no supplier commissions clouding the read. Our principals spent careers on the other side of these negotiations, which means we know exactly where value tends to disappear.

The result is a clear, benchmarked view of how your program compares to the market, what it should cost, and what to do about it — delivered straight to the people who make the call.


Scope

Where the work concentrates.

i.

Service & Delivery Audit

Booking-channel strategy, servicing model, responsiveness, after-hours support, and account-management effectiveness against best practice.

ii.

Technology & Content

Online booking tools, breadth of air and hotel content across NDC, GDS and direct, policy controls, and the traveler experience.

iii.

Commercial Benchmarking

Transaction-fee and ancillary-charge benchmarking, pricing transparency, and services charged that competitive models include.

iv.

Supplier Economics

Air, hotel and ground supplier performance, share behavior, and the distribution strategy that quietly shapes cost and compliance.
