Your travel program generates a lot of information, and you don’t have time to sift through all of that data when critical decisions need to be made. Here are three ways you can make even more strategic business decisions for your company and travelers using BCD Travel’s proprietary business intelligence platform, DecisionSource®.
1. Traveler safety
DecisionSource supports your duty of care responsibilities through monitoring and managing risk before a trip begins. A single report tells you how many travelers are booked on the same flight or who has received security alerts about their destinations. An additional security function enables:
- Risk alerts, including weather, international incidents and health warnings
- Interactive maps that allow quick risk assessments for individual traveler locations
- Outbound text and email communications to travelers whenever needed
2. Travel costs
To manage travel costs, you need to understand where money is being spent. DecisionSource distills the information you need into reports, scoreboards and easy-to-understand visuals that capture average ticket prices, most-used airlines, online adoption rates and more. You can use the data to influence:
- Policy compliance
- Traveler behavior
- Supplier deals and key performance indicators
3. Program measurements
DecisionSource makes booking data available to you in just 90 minutes, giving you ready access to the information you need to make decisions. Analytics capabilities within the tool can help travel teams gain an even better understanding of buying trends and traveler behavior to improve program performance. The data is transformed into charts, maps and comparative graphs, providing:
- An overview of program or category spend over time and across key metrics
- Spend analyses that address key aspects of your travel program
- Program benchmarking to highlight areas for improvement
