From financial control to a duty of care to the people on the move, managing travel and expenses is of vital importance. Yet despite the clear benefits of working alongside a travel management company (TMC), many organizations continue to struggle with the same recurring challenges – leakage, policy non-compliance, and the administrative burden of a complex expense process.<\/p>\n
In this guide, we explore the most common travel and expense management challenges businesses face and how working closely with your TMC – and making the most of the tools and expertise available to you – can transform the way you travel.<\/p>\n

\nOne of the most significant (and often underestimated) problems in corporate travel is leakage. This occurs when travellers bypass the agreed booking process and make their own arrangements, whether through consumer booking sites, direct hotel reservations, or other channels outside the TMC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
While it might seem harmless on an individual basis, the cumulative impact is considerable. Travelers who go rogue dilute the true value of having a TMC in place. They create additional work for finance teams, who must process a higher volume of expense claims, often with missing or incomplete documentation.<\/p>\n
The travelers themselves spend their own valuable time searching for and booking travel, time that could be better spent elsewhere. And critically, those travelling outside the managed program are not covered by your company’s duty of care obligations.<\/p>\n

2. Proper Policy Compliance<\/h3>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – Policy Compliance” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”5%||1%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\nOut-of-policy bookings are a constant drain on travel budgets. Whether it\u2019s a traveller booking a preferred airline that sits outside the agreed programme, selecting a hotel above the nightly rate cap, or simply bypassing the required approval process, non-compliance pushes costs upward and undermines the commercial agreements your TMC has negotiated on your behalf.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Without consistent policy adherence, cost benchmarking becomes unreliable, and the data needed to negotiate better rates with suppliers loses its accuracy and power. When travelers repeatedly step outside the program, the organization loses visibility over where money is truly being spent and why. This makes it far more difficult for travel managers and procurement teams to identify trends, forecast demand, and make informed strategic decisions about future travel spending.<\/p>\n
Out-of-policy behavior also weakens supplier relationships. Airlines, hotels, and other travel partners often offer discounted rates based on the expectation of a certain volume of bookings. If travelers are consistently choosing alternatives outside the program, those commitments are diluted.<\/p>\n

3. Process & Admin Inefficiencies<\/h3>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – Admin Inefficiencies” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”5%||1%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\nManual processes slow everything down. When travel isn\u2019t booked through a central platform, finance teams are left piecing together spend from multiple sources. That takes time. Approval workflows become fragmented, receipts go missing, and reconciliation is delayed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The knock-on effects are felt across the business. Projects that bill travel costs to clients can face delays in closing out financials. Internal teams become frustrated by slow reimbursements. Additional administrative resources may be required to manage the workload, adding cost where it shouldn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
Without a unified booking and expense ecosystem, finance teams often find themselves chasing incomplete information. Credit card statements, email confirmations, expense reports, and invoices all need to be manually reviewed and matched. What should be a straightforward reconciliation process becomes a time-consuming administrative exercise, increasing the likelihood of errors, duplicated claims, or overlooked charges.<\/p>\n

4. Budget Control and Financial Visibility<\/h3>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – Budget Control” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”5%||1%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\nPerhaps the most consequential challenge is the lack of real-time visibility over travel spend. When bookings are scattered across multiple channels, total costs are either unknown or arrive as an unwelcome surprise. This is particularly problematic when travel is being billed back to clients at project close. Budget holders lose control and forecasting becomes guesswork.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Without a single source of truth, finance and procurement teams are forced to rely on delayed or incomplete data. By the time travel costs are fully captured through expense claims, invoices, and credit card statements, the opportunity to control spending has already passed. What should be a proactive process of monitoring budgets and managing costs becomes a retrospective exercise in understanding what has already happened.<\/p>\n
This lack of visibility also makes it difficult for managers to track travel against project budgets in real time. When expenses only surface weeks after a trip has taken place, project leads may discover too late that travel costs have exceeded what was originally allocated. This creates complications when billing clients, reconciling project margins, or explaining unexpected cost overruns.<\/p>\n

The single most effective step any organization can take is mandating the use of the TMC’s online booking tool, such as Gray Dawes’ YourTrip<\/a><\/strong>, available through PORTAL<\/a><\/strong>. A good online booking tool is intuitive to use, efficient, and designed to show you the best available options within your policy parameters, removing the temptation for travelers to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Remember that real people are a huge benefit too. For more complex itineraries, make sure you have a dedicated travel team<\/a> <\/strong>on hand to provide expert support, ensuring travelers have the guidance they need without having to step outside the managed program.<\/p>\n

Advance Planning of Budget<\/h3>\n

Better planning is one of the most powerful tools for cost control. Booking travel further in advance consistently results in better fares and rates, and working with your TMC to build your travel calendar can deliver meaningful savings over time.<\/p>\n
Equally important is the pre-approval of budgets before travel is booked. Agreeing on project or departmental travel budgets in advance – and enforcing them – means finance teams always have a clear picture of committed spending, and travelers operate within defined parameters from the outset.<\/p>\n

For organizations still managing expenses through manual processes or disconnected systems, the introduction of a dedicated expense management tool – such as Certify<\/a><\/strong> – can be a game-changer.<\/p>\n
Travelers can upload receipts in real time, directly from their mobile device, eliminating the lost receipt problem at source. Approvals are automated, reimbursements are faster, and finance teams have complete visibility of expense claims as they are submitted rather than weeks after travel has occurred.<\/p>\n

A travel policy only works if it is enforced and properly managed. Your TMC can support you in mandating compliance, configuring your online booking tool to flag or block out-of-policy selections, and forwarding approval requests to the right people automatically.<\/p>\n
Where exceptions are genuinely required, they can be managed within the platform with a clear audit trail, thus removing the ambiguity that often lets non-compliance slip through the net.<\/p>\n

\nThe benefits of getting travel and expense management right extend far beyond cost savings. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Better cost control<\/strong> means your business gets more value from every pound spent on travel. Consolidated spend, negotiated rates, and policy compliance work together to ensure that your travel budget goes further.<\/p>\n
Stronger client relationships<\/strong> are built on trust and professionalism. When your travel program is running smoothly, your account managers can spend less time firefighting and more time adding value. Clients notice when things work well, and a well-managed travel program is proof of that.<\/p>\n
Enhanced data and proactive reporting<\/strong> puts your TMC in the position of a true strategic partner. By identifying travelers who are consistently booking out of policy, highlighting low online adoption rates, or flagging a lack of hotel bookings alongside air itineraries, your TMC can help you make informed, data-driven decisions about your program.<\/p>\n
The goal is to be your right-hand partner in managing travel. Not just a booking provider, but a genuine contributor to your business goals.<\/p>\n

“Once we have consolidated travel for a client, we can provide rich data to show them not only the complete view of their spend, but the true performance of their travel policy. Importantly, we can also show them where their travelers are at any time via our traveler tracking dashboard – an invaluable tool for HR managers to assess risk and fulfill their duty of care obligations.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
