What is TravelSights?

Challenge
For a number of organizations, employee travel is a large expense that requires continuous monitoring and analysis. The Risk Management/Operations team is constantly challenged to design optimal travels and maintain compliance with set budget, while ensuring employee safety. Many partner with travel companies to manage business trips as well as hotel arrangements. Travel management companies are required to source data from disparate sources, apply complex business rules, and derive meaningful insights to provide to these organizations.
