Consolidated U.S. TMC: Carlson Wagonlit Travel
Manufacturing company 3M
reduced its U.S.-booked air volume nearly one-tenth from $51.5 million in
U.S.-booked air volume in 2014. In 2015, 85 percent of U.S.-point-of-sale
bookings went through GetThere, 50 percent of which required no agent
assistance.
In 2015, the company
began to consolidate TMC services under Carlson Wagonlit Travel and BCD Travel,
which should aid data reporting and duty of care. Once the new agency structure
is in place in each region, 3M will replace the GetThere booking tool,
PeopleSoft expense system and SAP Travel Request with a new Concur technology
platform. At year-end, 32 of the 93 countries where 3M operates had
consolidated TMCs; CWT now services 3M’s more than 20,000 travelers in the
United States, Canada and most European countries, and BCD Travel has a strong
presence in Latin America and some of Asia/Pacific. Concur will roll out in
North American this fall and Latin America and Asia/Pacific will wrap up next
year. Consolidation in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and any remaining
countries will be finished in the first quarter of 2018.
3M also is developing its
strategic meetings management program. Citi MasterCard provides corporate cards
in the United States and Canada.
As of Dec. 31, 2015, 3M
employed nearly 90,000 people, similar to the previous year. Revenue dropped
nearly 5 percent from $31.8 billion in 2014 to $30.3 billion in 2015. Expenses
were virtually flat, rising from $20.3 billion in 2014 to $20.4 billion in
2015.
