Advantages

Combining the expertise of your Travel Management Company (TMC) and the convenience and data transparency of your Lodge account gives you tighter control of your travel activity. The travel management chain can be divided into three stages:

Pre-trip travel

This includes travel authorisation, booking and payment. The Lodge account can be integrated with your TMC's own planning and booking systems, so they are able to provide you with pre-trip travel analysis on your employees' planned activity.

On-trip travel

Centralising all travel arrangements means you will be able to quickly locate all your staff and so enhance traveller security, especially in the case of emergencies. Your corporate card can also be used to complement the Lodge account scheme for ancillary spend while away on business.

Post-trip travel

You will receive data reports for spend and supplier analysis as part of your Lodge Account reporting, including specific data references selected by you.
