A specialist themselves in providing software solutions that enable business, they knew that with the right technology platform, adoption would soar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THREE KEY OBJECTIVES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when the consulting firm appointed Reed &amp; Mackay. The Reed &amp; Mackay team had three key objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strategic consultancy and reporting that provided true value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A strong suite of technology including a mobile app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A high touch offline service that wowed travelers on a daily basis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>SERVICE MEETS TECHNOLOGY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy-in is earned by listening to client needs. That\u2019s why the Reed &amp; Mackay team started with a small pilot group of key travelers, including a number of Managing Directors. Over the course of four months, the team worked to get to the heart of the traveler\u2019s needs to deliver a platform that really worked for the client. For instance, the ability to cancel bookings on both the online tool and mobile app was key; a feature that now benefits Reed &amp; Mackay\u2019s wider client base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering on the needs of the pilot group saw online adoption increase from 20% to in excess of 60%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PILOTING SUCCESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With R&amp;M\/Insights providing far greater visibility of spend, the Reed &amp; Mackay team were able to make strategic recommendations to policy in key areas such as introducing hotel rate caps and maximizing advanced purchase. Better still, our client now has direct access to their data in an easy to use, highly visual tool to support strategic management of their program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PROGRAM FIT FOR LAUNCH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consulting firm now has a first-class travel program and, with the confidence that it meets their needs, they are ready to roll out and mandate the program across their business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you need the perfect blend of service and technology there\u2019s only one solution.
