Business travellers overwhelmingly (54%) chose “freedom to make reservations and changes on their own” as the single most important element of a corporate travel program (Egencia Survey, 2018). Surely the current trend for companies is to empower their travellers with booking and travel management software. Unfortunately, using the online booking tools offered by the company is not yet a well-established reflex among business travellers, with in fact a large portion of respondents (48%) still preferring to turn to the Internet.
Indeed, some solutions made available by companies prove to be too complex to use and handle. Ideally, the tool offered to employees should be similar to the ones they use personally, and booking a business trip should be as simple as booking a leisure trip on a consumer website. More and more players in the market are working to become “end to end” travel planning solutions, i.e., booking solutions that manage all stages of a business trip from start to finish, with fewer intermediaries, centralized data, significant time-saving for employees, and considerable cost-reductions for companies.
Towards complete management of corporate mobility within the same tool
Adequate expense report management software is also highly sought after by companies and their employees. Inefficient management of expense reports generates very high costs with low transparency. Moreover, tedious tasks such as manual archiving and verification of errors, fraud, and cases of non-compliance can now be optimized.
Notilus is a powerful tool that immediately spots cases of omissions, miscalculations, and non-compliance related to business travel as well as missing receipts, thus improving compliance with travel policies and reducing travel costs. In addition, thanks to its mobile application, employees can, for example, use their smartphone’s camera to automatically file an expense and upload the supporting receipt from wherever they are. Notilus Connect also helps prevent errors and fraud, and gives managers and/or the accounting department real-time visibility into expenses.
“Automation also helps save time in terms of filing and vetting expense reports, both for the employee and the accounting department,” says Gilles Bobichon, director of the Notilus business and co-founder of DIMO Software.
