How Concertiv Can Elevate Your TMC Experience

Concertiv often proposes our travel solution when working with new clients to save money and relieve back-office burdens associated with travel management. However, many potential clients quickly point out that they already work with a Travel Management Company (TMC) and don’t want to switch providers or change established behaviors.

At Concertiv, our clients work with travel management companies to handle their day-to-day travel booking, and we integrate seamlessly with your preferred TMC. We aim to enhance your travel experience by providing deeper savings, more focused benchmarking insights, and optimized reporting. Ultimately, we aim to heighten your employees' travel experiences while saving more money. Should you be unhappy with your TMC, we can manage the RFP, benchmarking, and implementation process on your behalf! 

Here are five ways Concertiv can elevate your TMC and travel experience:

Group Purchasing

Like TMCs, Concertiv collaborates with hotels and airlines to negotiate better rates for our clients. However, while TMCs are often generalists working across various industries, Concertiv is industry-focused. Our clients are frequently premium business members, allowing us to leverage this high-value clientele to negotiate superior rates with hotels and airlines. By working with Concertiv, your TMC can utilize these premium rates, ensuring you receive the best possible deals for your travel needs.

Travel Management

While TMCs handle travel details and bookings, Concertiv can be your dedicated liaison between your organization and the TMC. This is particularly beneficial if you need a travel manager or administrative office to manage these needs, such as assisting with reporting and rate code audits to ensure your travelers follow policy. Concertiv ensures seamless communication and coordination, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of your travel management process without interrupting current booking processes for your travelers.

Travel Policy Benchmarking

Concertiv enhances your travel practice by delivering detailed industry benchmarks of your peer set. This includes insights on travel policies, overall budget, and spending, ensuring that your travel spend and policies align with industry peers. Our benchmarking insights help you optimize travel policies and achieve greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Optimized Reporting

Concertiv emphasizes providing detailed and customized reporting more than most TMCs. While TMCs can offer valuable data, Concertiv leverages this information to develop better visibility cost-avoidance strategies and identify better savings opportunities, all without compromising on premium amenities. Our focused approach ensures you gain deeper insights and more effective cost management.

Auditing

Concertiv audits TMC travel bookings to ensure travelers secure the best deals and experiences. We know your travelers have many travel options, and work with you to customize a preferred partner strategy to maximize savings while providing maximum breadth of choice. We enforce travel policy compliance by ensuring travelers stay within the limits outlined in your travel policies. This rigorous auditing process helps maintain cost efficiency and policy adherence.

By partnering with Concertiv, you don't have to change your existing TMC relationship. Instead, you enhance it, gaining access to deeper savings, superior benchmarking insights, optimized reporting, and rigorous auditing. Let Concertiv help you elevate your travel experience, ensuring your employees enjoy premium travel while your organization benefits from significant cost efficiencies. Experience the Concertiv advantage and transform your travel management today.
