2. Tripactions
TripActions solution allowing you to manage your business trips was created in 2015. It focuses on protecting the traveler with control of the destination countries, real-time information, and permanent communication via the application with the traveler. It also focuses on savings with its rewards program that encourages travelers to save money on their trips. They can redeem these rewards for Amazon gift cards, upgrades, or personal travel.
TripActions focuses on high-end business travel with a VIP program. This feature has been accentuated following its association with the Reed and Mackay group. TripActions is targeting a new form of VIP business travel, offering concierge options, business jets, and private chauffeurs for its members.
3. Travelbank
TravelBank is a travel management solution that focuses on expense tracking. By combining a travel solution and an expense report program, this platform offers its users a real expense system. It is therefore possible to correctly manage one's invoices thanks to an expense forecasting system present in the application with estimates based on the average prices of the majority of destinations. Having a budget control function on the application, it is possible thanks to TravelBank to directly fill in your invoices in photos on the application. In addition, the platform offers customer support in case of problems 24 hours a day and sets up a subscription with or without commitment allowing you to pay a rate per active user varying if the subscription is annual or monthly.
4. Egencia
This business travel management solution was born in 2002 in France and has now joined the American Expedia Group. It is the purchasing power of Expedia Group that allows it today to have access to preferential rates on the tickets they offer. It is the French branch of the group that specializes in business travel for professionals, with different prices depending on the trip and the company. No fixed prices here, but you can ask for a quote right here.
This solution seems to be more interesting for journeys costing several thousand euros, the implementation time being several weeks or even months in most cases. This solution is best suited for a large company with almost daily trips. Complex travel documents and policies can be centralized for ease of use. Don't worry, in case of a problem, traveler assistance is proposed by phone and email, but be careful with the price of interactions.
5. Travelperk
The Travelperk business travel management solution was created in 2016 in Barcelona. Today, it offers a sleek and intuitive interface that allows you to centralize your reservations in no time. It allows you to automate spending limits and travel policies for your company according to your needs and desires. It creates dashboards to visualize your expenses as you travel. To test these features, you can try the free version to familiarize yourself with the product. Be careful though, this version includes very few options. You will not have access to the approval system nor to the integrated travel policy and only to a limited customer service. The Premium version at 15€/month will allow you to pay a fixed price per booking with all the options available on the platform. Finally, in an eco-responsible way, Travelperk allows you to offset your carbon footprint with its GreenPerk option.
The choice of a business travel solution is essential and it must imperatively correspond to the needs of your company. Be careful to choose a tool that is adapted to your travel needs, if they are few or almost daily your research will not be the same.
