Implementation Areas
We help implement new travel, meetings, payment and expense programs through global training, change management, processes and technology support.
Travel
Go beyond finding the right travel agency and online booking tool by implementing broad global initiatives that transform your program from an agency-centric model to a company-centric one, putting you in the driver’s seat.
We work to align your tools globally, and reinvigorate your program with online mobile apps, global travel portals, content aggregators and consolidated data. From air and ground to hotels and lodging, we set up, source, implement, and manage your suppliers and build reporting systems that shed a light on your entire program.
Meetings
Don’t neglect meetings when it comes to your program strategy. TCG Consulting’s strategy services will highlight hidden savings in the operational activities required for in-person communications.
Once your program as been assessed, we will create a Strategic Meetings Management Program (SMMP) plan, and develop and align your meeting registration, approval process, sourcing and contracting, planning and execution, payment and expense reconciliation, data analysis and reporting and technology solutions.
Payment
Discover how your team can enjoy an efficient, compliant, and user-friendly broad reaching payment program. Our strategy services give you the advantage of our expertise in payment platforms and solutions.
From increasing your financial incentives and rebates, to building programs to expand volume and spend leverage. By strategically optimizing your payment program, your working capital will increase, and your insight into point of sale will provide valuable data and analytics to the executive team.
Expense
Improve your net operating income when you reduce inefficient management of travel and meeting expenses.
Our strategic advisers are careful to include invoicing, budgeting, and other expense-related activities when crafting your plan. We lay a baseline for your processes, create a gap analysis, determine your needed suppliers, and plan out your technology and organizational support needs.
