Whether small or large, every company that has travel as a line item in the budget should make sure that it has processes in place to proactively manage expenditure, compliance and duty of care.
Today, business travel management is not just about making bookings for flights from point A to point B. It is much more than that; it requires a high level of accuracy and a good understanding of each company’s unique needs.
At Harvey World Travel, we have built our reputation on delivering the best personalised, comprehensive travel management services for businesses on the move. How? It’s a partnership approach – we do not consider ourselves as suppliers but as strategic partners of your business.
The Business Travel Landscape
Business travel has changed a lot in the last few years. There is a renewed focus on traveller wellness (which is important considering a whopping 89% of employees think travel is a perk), making sustainable choices and dealing with constrained budgets when sending employees on assignments across the world.
Managing your own travel is time-consuming, which means employees are not focused on their core functions. As the portfolio grows, enforcing travel policies manually gets more difficult, which can lead to unauthorised expenses. Moreover, keeping track of who is where, reporting on travel costs and managing expenses eventually becomes a full-time job. Rather than go it alone, this is where specialised travel management partners come into play.
Why Harvey World Travel Stands Apart
Over the last 25+ years we have gained a wealth of experience in working with clients and we know that trust is something that is gained through consistency, openness and delivering results. Here’s why many leading organisations continue to select Harvey World Travel as their travel partner of choice:
- Personalised Service Models
Keeping travellers safe and delivering a good travel experience is a top priority. We know that no two companies have the same travel management needs. A technology company will have very different travel needs from a large multinational company that manufactures goods. We will meet with you to determine how your business operates, the culture within your organisation, and your specific travel policies, and we will develop recommendations that meet your objectives. This way, you ensure you keep your travellers within company parameters, control travel costs and give employees a personalised travel experience.
- Cost Optimisation Without Compromise
In the current economic environment, the need to stretch the travel budgets is more important than ever. We offer significant cost savings on airlines, hotels and car rentals through our supplier partnerships without sacrificing quality. Our proprietary analytics platform identifies spending patterns and recommends further savings that can be realised, something that is music to the ears of the finance department.
- Duty of Care Commitment
Your employees’ safety and welfare while travelling is the most important thing to you. Suppose there are delays or even serious issues like security threats when travelling. In that case, your travellers will have access to first-class travel support around the clock, ensuring that your team is not left to fend for themselves.
- Seamless Technology Integration
Our booking platforms automate the booking process and are fully integrated to work with most expense management systems. This means that your travellers and your administrators will have a hassle-free experience. Mobile apps provide travellers with real-time access to their itineraries, travel alerts and support services that your team needs at the right time.
- The Human Factor in the Digital Environment
Although technology is current and significant in the provision of travel management services, nothing can replace the human touch. Our teams across South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe are dedicated to your company and become an extension of your team. They are there to help optimise processes and ensure your service meets your expectations, making the best of your travel program.
That is the Harvey World Travel difference: a perfect balance between the technology and the personal touch.
