As a TMC, you'll have the needed tools to deliver the best service for your SMEs, whilst your they will enjoy more autonomy, more control, plus an intuitive and efficient booking process, while staying compliant with the travel policies within their company.
Despite other vendors of corporate booking tools, dcs plus doesn’t apply transaction fees for the reservations made through CSBT. The pricing structure of the corporate booking tool will prove to be an essential competitive advantage for any travel management company.
For a flat monthly fee, and only 100 Eur for each corporate customer you add, you can start providing this tool to all your customers that are looking to maximize value from their travel spend. Moreover, the cost of the platform is not dependent on the number of the users.
Your corporate customers’ needs are constantly evolving, so they want to access more offers than ever, this being reason enough not to choose a corporate booking tool with predefined content.
Being a content neutral platform, CSBT by dcs plus allows you to have full content freedom and to tailor it to your customers’ needs by adding the travel content contracted from your preferred suppliers. It’s up to you which services you’ll make available – flight tickets through GDS or Direct Connect option, accommodation from the wholesalers you have agreements with or your own contracted hotels. You’re the one that knows best what works for your corporate customers – who would be more entitled than you to make such a decision?
Obviously, driving up volumes for your chosen suppliers brings you even more negotiation leverage and you can obtain lower fares based on the increased number of transactions.
With CSBT, business travelers can easily search through you travel content database and further book services by themselves, if they comply with the travel policies in place in their companies, otherwise their request will pass through an approval chain.
