SPENDING CONTROL
T&E is typically one of the largest controllable expenses for most companies, and as such, your company can’t afford an unmanaged travel program. Vanguard’s solutions will give travelers the freedom to make their own choices, while allowing you to maintain the ability to monitor and control spending.
Managed Self-Booking Solution
Our Cliqbook self-booking solution can be configured according to your company’s specific corporate travel policy; so your travelers will see exactly which flights, hotels, rental cars, etc. are in compliance—and which are not. It will flag reservations that require approval and can prohibit violations before they occur. Cliqbook can easily accommodate multiple levels of policy control, allowing you to make it widely available within your company.
End-to-End Expense Management
Concur Expense can be used seamlessly with Cliqbook to further enhance your ability to enforce travel policy. With this combination, travel booking data is presented side-by-side with electronic receipts showing real spend data. This highlights any out-of-policy actions that may have taken place outside of the booking process, such as unauthorized hotel room or car-class upgrades.
Data Capture and Reporting
iBank Reporting is the platform we use to capture and consolidate data for our customers’ national or global operations. The iBank platform will allow you to view and reconcile your company’s travel spending, and identify trends.
This information is available for on-demand reporting and may be exported for use in other applications. With it, you have the key to managing your company’s travel budget, monitoring policy compliance and evaluating contract performance.
DATA ANALYSIS
iBank Analytics is a powerful, point-and-click dashboard that will allow you to drill down into travel data for quick answers to immediate questions. Data can be refreshed up to every minute and is available online, 24 hours a day via the Internet. iBank Analytics enables you to make insightful decisions and draw meaningful conclusions through a comprehensive, multidimensional graphic view of travel spend.
BENCHMARKING
If you want to know how your travel program performs compared to other companies, we can provide the Travel GPA Report Card which utilizes live data feeds from some of the largest and most respected travel management companies in the U.S. and Canada.
Your company’s data is placed anonymously into the Travel GPA system and run against the live database, giving you the most up-to-date picture of your travel management program and how it stacks up against the other companies in the database. You can choose to be compared to companies with similar travel spend, in the same home region, or within your company’s industry sector. Travel GPA also allows you to measure performance against contract goals set with vendors.
Many companies today are taking emissions production into consideration in corporate travel planning. Travel GPA includes an environmental-assessment component that calculates the carbon emissions of individual or company-wide air travel.
