How travel agencies for corporate travel add value with specialist sector knowledge

Travel agencies for corporate travel do more than book flights and hotels – they enhance efficiency, leverage data-driven insights, support compliance and maximise cost savings and carbon reduction. However, working with a travel management company (TMC) that has specialist industry knowledge delivers even greater value.

From legal and finance to construction and facilities management, understanding the nuances of different industries enables a TMC to offer tailored solutions that drive efficiency, enhance compliance, and optimise budgets.

At Inntel, we recognise that no two businesses or travellers are the same. Our extensive experience across key industries combined with our proprietary online booking tool allows us to provide valuable insights without a one-size-fits-all approach.

True value in corporate travel extends beyond cost savings – it is about travelling smarter. Some sectors require a specialised approach. Here is how our expertise translates into tangible benefits across multiple industries.

Construction: Managing complex travel and logistics

With a strong track record in construction travel management, we specialise in handling large-scale projects, transient travel, and training programmes. We understand:

  • Apprenticeships and training programmes: We ensure smooth coordination of travel and accommodation for apprentices and trainees, meeting safety, duty of care, and insurance regulations.
  • Specialised accommodation needs: We appreciate the finer details like the need for secure parking and accessibility for larger vehicles such as vans and trailers. Or, that early starts and shift work means meal options must be flexible. We have strong relationships with a wide range of accommodation suppliers, spanning hotels, serviced apartments and more.
  • Logistics and budget control: Our LOGiC Travel online booking platform provides real-time data on available accommodations, while LOGiC Intelligence allows clients to monitor projected versus actual spend – enhancing budget control and tracking carbon emissions.

Facilities management: A tailored approach for multi-department travel needs

We understand facilities management (FM) companies often have multiple business units with diverse travel needs. Our approach ensures seamless service across departments while providing centralised spend visibility.

  • Complex travel policy management: Our LOGiC Travel software ensures bookings comply with multi-layered policies, providing structured approval processes.
  • Strategic accommodation management: We secure cost-effective accommodation that aligns with travel policy requirements, whether budget-friendly lodgings or high-end hotels.
  • Live spend visibility: Power BI enabled LOGiC Intelligence offers real-time budget tracking and spend analysis, helping FM businesses identify savings opportunities.

Finance and professional services: Ensuring compliance and efficiency

Our well-established experience in corporate travel for finance and professional services means we understand the need for compliance, security, and efficiency.

  • Governance and risk compliance: Our processes ensure full compliance with corporate travel policies and industry regulations.
  • Seamless self-service and VIP support: A hybrid booking model allows employees to self-book travel, while our Specialist Business Travel Team is on hand for concierge-level service.
  • Flexible last-minute travel: Professionals in this sector often have unpredictable schedules. Our team ensures last-minute bookings stay within budget and policy.
  • Data capture and expense integration: We enable detailed tracking of project codes, improving billable expense accuracy and facilitating faster reimbursements.

Transport and rail: Managing large-scale workforce travel

Thanks to our enduring partnerships in the rail sector, we appreciate our clients in this industry count on seamless coordination for high-volume, short-notice travel. Our expertise helps control costs, improve efficiency, and maintain compliance. For example:

  • Workforce mobility management: We handle crew rotations, temporary assignments, and shift-based travel for transport, rail, and logistics companies.
  • Strategic accommodation solutions: We secure lodgings in key locations, including remote areas and transport hubs.
  • Safety and duty of care compliance: Workers often travel at unsociable hours or across multiple locations. Our tools ensure policy compliance and worker safety.
  • Real-time cost monitoring: LOGiC Intelligence provides live spend tracking, enabling budget control and ensuring policy adherence.
