Navigating travel in manufacturing isn’t easy 

ct-icon-after-hours-watermelon

No reliable support

When factory inspections, supplier meetings, and last-minute facility visits require quick changes, the lack of expert assistance leads to costly delays and disruptions in production schedules.

Uncontrolled spending

With strict safety and import/export regulations, risk escalates fast when compliance is spread across teams and locations. Without systems to track it all? It’s a mess waiting to happen.
Everything you need to know

No control and reports don’t add up

Tracking travel expenses across departments and funding sources quickly turns into a reporting nightmare without the right systems to keep things accurate and aligned.

Booking takes too long

When critical meetings or site visits change at the last minute, your team gets pulled from core operations. That means wasted time, lost focus, and slowing down work that can’t wait.

Solving the challenges that hold you back

We’ve heard it all before. Here’s how we tackle your biggest travel challenges with streamlined solutions, no compromises.

  • How can we better manage our company’s travel spending? 

    Implementing a clear travel policy is the number one way to control spending. Use Corporate Traveller to help you do this and reduce costs by leveraging our long-term relationships with suppliers and vendors to negotiate better rates. 

  • How can we negotiate better travel rates for trade shows and customer visits? 

    Use Corporate Traveller’s long-term relationships with suppliers and vendors help secure better rates and leverage volume-based discounts. 

  • What’s the ROI of investing in a travel management platform? 

    Using our travel management platform, Melon, provides full visibility into your travel spend, allowing you to track and understand your travel data. This enables Corporate Traveller to identify savings opportunities and mitigate risks within your travel program. By driving volume and increasing policy compliance, we help you achieve cost savings and efficiency gains while also streamlining approvals. 

  • What are the benefits of a formal travel policy for manufacturing businesses? 

    A formal travel policy ensures cost control, compliance, and safety while standardizing booking processes to improve efficiency. Corporate Traveller can help you create or improve your travel policy. 

  • Can we maintain flexibility while still controlling travel costs? 

    Yes, by using dollar thresholds or percentages over the "recommended spend" as methods to create guidelines, it enables travellers to stay within policy yet have the flexibility to choose the flights and hotels they prefer. We can also encourage the use of preferred suppliers without making it feel forced. 

  • How does centralized booking improve visibility into travel expenses? 

    Keeping all the data in one place improves visibility of consolidated data. Using Melon pulls data from both our online bookings and those made with an agent, allowing for easier and better budget tracking, giving greater financial oversight, and helping prevent unauthorized spending. 

  • Why is centralized booking important for a growing company? 

    Centralized booking is crucial as a company grows quickly. Without it in place, travellers have much more opportunity to book on their own out of policy, which can significantly increase costs. Additionally, companies have a duty of care for their travellers, and Melon / Corporate Traveller can provide data on this when all bookings are made with us. 

  • How do we transition from individual bookings to a travel management system? 

    By showing travellers a tool that they want to use and has benefits for them. Corporate Traveller offers an online booking tool (Melon) and provides a dedicated travel manager for each account. This hybrid model allows your travellers to book in the way they prefer while ensuring compliance. It also has 24/7 support for when your travellers need us most. 

  • How can we future-proof our travel program as we scale? 

    Work with a TMC like Corporate Traveller that can scale with you as you grow. We offer different levels of support as you expand, helping you navigate changing travel policies, leveraging data analytics, and maintaining partnerships with vendors that can manage your increase in usage.
