Savings "guaranteed" claims companyGetThere, an online business travel tool, has launched a suite of travel management tools designed to help companies weather the recession.
The Sabre Travel Network-owned company said its The Demand Management Suite was a "collection of technologies and proven best travel management practices."
These include workflow integration, travel validation, dynamic messaging, cost centre validation, booking notification, pre-trip approval and expense integration.
Chris Kroeger, GetThere's president and general manager, said it was the first time all these tools had been available in one package.
He said that the Suite guarantees a corporate customer will double what the programme cost in the first "or GetThere will refund the cost."
Mr Kroeger said that in the last few years, corporates and travel management companies had been focused on the total travel spend and the cost of procurement.
"In the last six months, there has been a tremendous amount of interest in helping them manage the demand for travel, not the cost but whether they needed to make this trip.
"So we have been looking at a set of capabilities which would help them in this and to bring them together in one place to do just that," he said.
The Suite is being rolled out globally.
