Business travellers and travel bookers have access to more data than ever before. Analysis is officially in vogue: facts and figures can be found in the unlikeliest of places (if you know where to look) and they have the power to tell compelling stories.<\/p>\n
In business travel, as in other industries, data is more than a synonym for spools of numbers and stuffy graphs. It is a force that can be channelled to identify trends to save you money on fares, pinpoint travel preferences, or help you make more sustainable choices.<\/p>\n
In this article, we take a look at 6 problems that can be solved by having access to accurate travel data and how you can start using it to optimise your travel programmes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#datasolutions” button_text=”Read More” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Data-Driven-WEB.jpg” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”395px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – Problems & Solutions Boxes” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(0,0,0,0.39) 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0.39) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Abstract-Data-Section-Background-Blue-WEB.jpg” custom_padding=”||100px|||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”ROW – Problem to Solutions #1″ module_id=”datasolutions” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” width_last_edited=”off|tablet” max_width=”1420px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”NUMBER – 1″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”70px” custom_margin=”5%||0%||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER- Travel Policy Problem” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”35px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion toggle_icon=”R||divi||400″ admin_label=”BODY – Travel Policy Problem” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Problem” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#ffe5e5″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(232,56,81,0.72)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#ffe5e5″ closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(232,56,81,0.72)” icon_color=”#ffe5e5″ toggle_icon=”r||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#ffe5e5″ toggle_font_size=”23px”]<\/p>\n Non-compliance with travel policies and overspending can significantly impact your bottom line.

Using these insights, you can pinpoint areas of policy non-compliance (i.e. who is booking in or out of policy) or overspending to build plans to identify saving opportunities or develop targeted
