TCG Sourcing Services
Learn how TCG Consulting helped a global company assess, source, implement and manage a company’s entire travel, meetings, payment and expense program.
SOURCING
Transform your sourcing practices from agency-centric to organization-centric.
Direct supplier agreements yield the most return and allow TMPE to integrate and leverage company centric strategies rather than agency dependency. At TCG Consulting, we provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions to determine the suppliers, tools and technologies your program needs.
TCG SOURCING SERVICES
Our consultants work with your teams to strategically leverage your supply base and source your suppliers, while aligning your goals with your organization. We look deeper than a single pain point, and discover why your company may be lacking user acceptance, or be struggling with a problematic technology. By doing so, we help you build an organization-centric program—driven by stakeholder needs—rather than a forced agency-centric platform. Our decades of experience and access to industry best practices and market intelligence provide our clients with a big-picture view (and bottom-line results) of their sourcing practices and an average of 12:1 ROI.
Travel
The goal of any great program is to align your travel initiatives to the corporate strategic imperatives and ensure that your agency, online booking tools, air, ground and hotel programs are working together for the greater mission. TCG helps you evaluate the many facets of your agency, operational delivery transaction and supplier relationships to reduce user bypass, increase program acceptance, and find the best resources for your travel program and its users.
Meetings
At TCG Consulting, we understand how travel and meeting activities often go hand-in-hand—and our expertise in linking these activities through vendor analysis extends to both spheres. Whether you need to integrate your meetings program with an agency or other third party, or you are only beginning to develop a global meetings program, TCG Consulting will benchmark your program compared to industry leaders, determine the scope of your meeting program and evaluate the tools and technologies needed for full implementation.
Payment
As part of our comprehensive payment sourcing services, TCG leverages our wealth of proprietary global benchmark data to determine the payment solutions and suppliers that perfectly align to your strategic imperatives. Whether you’re looking for significant savings in your travel spending, need to bring in indirect spend, or want to find a local or global capable program, our team will be there to guide you to the best payment program.
Expense
Simplify your expense management across all of your reimbursement programs. Our travel and expense program development experience spans 163 markets, and our consultants help companies across the globe identify opportunities to cut expense management costs, and identify tools and plans to improve inefficient processes. Rely on TCG Consulting to streamline your workflows and reduce hidden expenditures.
