Corporate Benefits

It's fairly well understood that buying corporate travel in a policy-controlled environment will deliver significant financial benefits.

In the rail sector, this not only translates into significant headlines savings on fares through an ability to buy online in advance of travel, it also ensures rigorous compliance with policies set as part of a managed travel plan.

The benefits to organisations working with TMCs using EvolviNG go way beyond simple savings…it's about understanding not just how much is being spent on rail journeys - and when and by whom - but how best to use the data to shape travel policy.

Management information instantly available through EvolviNG enables procurement specialists and departmental managers to take tighter control of expenditure and to use the data available to create valuable spend profiles. And because it is possible to mandate compulsory ticket purchase through the TMC structure, operational efficiency and transaction security is improved.
