Travel Department Reporting into Procurement - Synergies, Issues, and Opportunities
Brussels
5 October 2009
Metropole Hotel
Do companies that combine procurement with traditional travel technique outperform their peers when it comes to saving and service?
Not everybody is convinced of the value of procurement in the realms of travel…
• What about the relationship with the Suppliers?
• And with the travellers when it comes to understand their needs?
• Is procurement using KPI’s and service level agreements to provide more accurate data when negotiating with Suppliers??
• Do procurement people help in de-mystifying de travel commodity?
• Or do they simplify the specific dynamics about the way things are priced?
BATM and ACTE and our International guest speakers will try to sketch the current trend and will give all attendees some excellent new ideas and food for thoughts.
