2016 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $57 million
Consolidated Global TMC: Egencia
P&G reduced its U.S.-booked air volume by more than 10 percent
in 2016, according to a BTN estimate. Following a competitive RFP, P&G
implemented new airline agreements in July 2016. In the process, the company
streamlined the preferred carriers and in so doing exceeded savings
expectations. In Asia, the company changed its travel policy for the minimum
flying hours to use business class from six to eight hours. It also does not
allow business class within Asia except in China. P&G also consolidated and
centralized travel management in 15 additional EMEA countries. Last year, the
company started to apply mobile technology to the travel program and piloted
both an ISOS security map app in the U.S. and Panama and Yapta's re-shopping
tech. P&G remains Egencia's largest U.S. corporate travel management
client. This year, the company is conducting an RFP for travel agency services
in Latin America, Asia and India, the Middle East and Africa. By the end of
this year, P&G plans to roll out Concur Expense to the first of its brands
and to complete that implementation next year.
