The use of information and communication technology in our day to day activities is now unavoidable. In tourism developments, destination information and management systems are used to guide visitors and provide information to both visitors and management of the tour sites. In this paper, information and navigation system was designed for tourists, taking some Niger state of Nigeria tourism destinations into account. The information management system was designed using Java Applet (NetBeans IDE 6.1), Hypertext MarkUp Language (HTML), Personal Home Page (PHP), Java script and MySQL as the back-end integration database. Two different MySQL servers were used, the MySQL query browser and the WAMP5 server to compare the effectiveness of the system developed.

7 must-have features in a Travel Management System

Discover the 7 key features of a Travel Management System and how they can help you streamline bookings, save money, and enhance your employees' business travel experience.

When you’re researching solutions to help you manage your business travel, it’s easy to get lost in all the options. The market is flooded with different booking tools and software solutions, all offering the latest and greatest features, making it hard to block out the noise. Staying focussed on the features that will add value to your organization is key, because it means you’ll spend less time researching every single option, and focus on the ones that will elevate your employees’ travel experience, and take the strain out of managing the whole process. In this series, we’ll take you through some of the questions you should be asking yourself as a business, and the key features you should expect from a leading travel management system. 

What is a Travel Management System (TMS)? 

A Travel Management System (TMS), also referred to as a Travel Management Company (TMC) or Travel Management Software is a type of online tool or software that makes it easy and cost-effective for businesses to book and manage their business travel in one place. Travel Management Systems come in lots of shapes and sizes, so it’s important to identify what is important to your business when you’re choosing one, but also spend some time reflecting on the challenges you face as a business, and how a software solution like a Travel Management System can help. 

How do you know if you need a Travel Management System?

Before you can answer that question, it's important to evaluate how you manage your business travel now, and whether the system you have in place can sustain your business longer term. Here are 5 areas to look at:  

1. Examine how you book your business travel

Identify how you book your travel today to see what the main challenges are with that approach. Do you have a centralized approach, or is everyone booking travel themselves? It’s time to find out. To gather this information, you should consider setting up a meeting with the person (or people) responsible for booking your company’s business travel. Alternatively, you could conduct a short survey with questions about how people are booking their travel. The purpose is to understand how the system works now, and if your employees are satisfied with the way it’s working. 

2. Get an overview of your annual travel expenses

Collect your travel data and business expenses from the last 12 months - this will help reveal the full extent of your travel activity and company spending, which may be surprising! The data you collect should include everything from flights, taxis, hotels, trains and any expenses that employees claim from business trips. This will give you a better understanding of where the majority of your travel budget is being spent, but it may also underline the need for a central system to keep track of all of this information!

3. Look at your organizational set-up

Take a look at your company set up - in larger businesses, there may be a specific person responsible for booking travel, but that’s not a luxury that all businesses have. Smaller businesses with fewer employees may be responsible for booking and managing their own travel. Understanding your company set up will help determine what sort of travel management solution you need, and whether it should be fully outsourced, or whether you still want to keep some control internally, or a hybrid solution where you get a bit of both.  

4. Consider any regulatory requirements you may have 

Consider any compliance or regulatory requirements you have - no two businesses are the same in this regard. For example, if you’re a company with lots of suppliers working for you, and you want to make sure they’re all booking to specific guidance or budget restrictions you’ve set, a travel management system may be the best way to keep control of this. Equally, as a business you need to make sure that your employees are safe when they’re traveling, so adhering to a “Duty of Care” policy will be a key part of that effort.  

5. Consider what travel emissions data you need

As a business, you’re likely to be facing increased pressure to track your business travel emissions according to the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Even if this is not yet the case, most businesses are now required to disclose their emissions if they work with larger organizations that are required to do this. Understanding the level to which you need to track and report on your travel related emissions will help determine if this is a feature you’d like in your Travel Management System. 

The 7 must-have features in a Travel Management System 

No two travel management systems are exactly the same and the types of features you need may vary based on your company size and set up, but nevertheless there are still a few main features you could expect from a good one: 

• Online booking software This is the way that employees can book their travel, including flights, trains, cars and hotels, all from a central online platform. A good travel management system will have a comprehensive choice of options that are updated constantly, and that offer the best market rates. For companies that have agreed discounts with certain hotels (because they travel regularly), these should be able to be integrated into that system.
• In built approval flows This is specific authorization that’s put in place to approve or deny travel requests, expenses or bookings. This is helpful because it automates how you approve travel - meaning that the travel manager, team lead or even CEO doesn’t need to review every travel booking. It’s all agreed up front and employees can only book what’s been authorized according to the type of trip or their seniority level. 
• Expense management This is a way for travel managers to keep an eye on travel costs and expenses from employee travel. A lot of this expense tracking typically takes quite a fragmented approach, meaning that it’s hard to get a good sense of what a company is spending on travel specifically. A lot of travel management systems offer expense integration, meaning you can integrate your expense management system into a central piece of software.  
• Customer support This is the team of professionals that can help you change, amend or cancel any of your travel bookings. If you’re not getting excellent customer support from your Travel Management System, you may as well be booking on Booking.com or any other leisure platform. Travel management systems are designed to support business travelers, with the understanding that there are a lot of last minute changes that need to be made. Good customer support should be timely and come from trained travel agents available around the clock.
• In-built, customizable travel policies These are used to make sure that employees stick to specific company guidelines when they travel. That’s particularly true when it comes to sustainability - businesses who’ve set reduction targets need in-built policies to ensure employees choose sustainable travel options when they travel.  The best way of ensuring this is to put a Sustainable Travel Policy in place, which can then be automated in your chosen Travel Management System. 
• Duty of care This is a feature that helps keep employees safe when they’re traveling, and gives employers the oversight they need to keep track of them. As a company, no matter what the size, you have a responsibility to ensure your employees’ safety, which is why having a Duty of Care policy built into the system is essential. 
• High quality sustainability features With businesses taking more responsibility for the environmental impact of their business travel, some Travel Management companies have responded by offering offsetting schemes . Aside from Goodwings, these schemes are often an afterthought, rather than something that’s core to the offering.  With Goodwings, we not only account for all of your emissions using credible data sources, we also reduce and remove your business travel emissions at no extra cost, using biofuel.

Which companies can benefit from a Travel Management System?

• Large enterprises (250+ employees)  With hundreds, if not thousands of employees traveling regularly for work, large enterprises need a Travel Management System to help them manage their travel expenses, comply with wider company policies and keep their employees safe. Having a TMS in place can contribute to cost savings, improved productivity, and an overall better travel experience for employees.
• Small and medium sized enterprises (30 - 250 employees)  While the needs of a 30 person business and a 250 person business are different, having a Travel Management System in place early can help SMEs avoid problems as they scale . Where every penny counts in a the start up or scale up world, streamlining business travel can help reduce costs, and do the job of a Travel Agent, or Travel Manager even if there is no one dedicated to this role in-house. 
• Government organizations For government organizations, compliance and cost control are key as these organizations need to stay accountable for the use of tax payer funds. Having a Travel Management System in place can help collect the travel data they need to remain fully transparent and cost-aware to the public, and stay compliant.   
• NGOs  NGOs need to ensure the r esponsible and efficient use of donor funds with everything they do - and this is particularly true of travel. Having a well managed travel program will help ensure transparency with their spending, as well as helping to maintain the safety and wellbeing of their teams or volunteers when traveling to remote areas.

When you’re choosing a travel booking or software solution, it’s important to identify the right fit for your business. Doing the due diligence upfront can help you save time because you'll be able to see where the cracks are in the current system, and whether a Travel Management System can help you streamline how you book and manage your business travel. Chances are, you'll discover that having a central place to manage your travel will not only save you time, but money too!

With increasing customer demand and service, handling it all in one go is a big challenge for any travel agent. Not to mention the chances of human error that are always there.  

To help you navigate through this process, we’ve put together an overview of what a TMS does and why you should care about it:  

• A TMS helps manage your client relationships by streamlining the process from booking to payment and back again. This means that instead of spending hours on end trying to coordinate with multiple agencies at once or answering emails from agents who don’t know what they’re talking about (or worse yet—who do), all information is centralized so that only one person needs access to it at any given time. When everything’s centralized within one system (like ours), there’s no risk that something will get lost or forgotten because everything stays in one place! You’ll be able to see exactly how much money has been spent on each trip; how much time was spent on each itinerary; how many miles were used per week/month etc… This kind of data tracking can help ensure nothing goes wrong during implementation which will ultimately lead up toward better results overall.”  

A Travel Management System (TMS) is an integrated software that offers several tools to help you manage your travel business efficiently.  

A Travel Management System (TMS) is an integrated software that offers several tools to help you manage your travel business efficiently. These include:  

• Trip planning, including itinerary and reservation management;  
• Revenue management, including the ability to track revenue from hotels and flights;  
• Financial reporting, including reports on daily activity and other KPIs such as occupancy rate or occupancy rate per room type;  
• Customer relationship management (CRM) allowing you to set up custom contact forms for each client so they can easily get in touch with you when needed or simply request information about upcoming trips/hotels etc.;  
• Employee time tracking so employees can see how long they work on a trip – this helps them understand how long it takes them do certain tasks since there may be times when some employees need more attention than others depending on their role within an organization (e.g., supervisor vs cleaning staff).  

TMS software automates operations associated with tasks like sales, booking, accounting, reporting, inventory and customer management.  

TMS software automates operations associated with tasks like sales, booking, accounting, reporting and inventory management. The software can also help you manage your customers’ needs by sending them personalized offers based on their preferences.   For example: As you’re booking a trip through your travel agency’s website or mobile app — which is processed by a separate application (or “back office”) — it could automatically pull in information about what type of hotel room you’d like to stay at so that it can be booked online. This way there’s no need for manual data entry during check-in time at the hotel itself! And if multiple people are traveling together on one reservation? That’s another feature of TMS that makes life easier: It tracks all of their itineraries so they can easily see which dates they have available when booking flights or train tickets separately.”  

You get a full-fledged platform to manage your business with maximum efficiency and minimum errors.  

Your business will benefit from a TMS in many ways. First and foremost, you’ll be able to reduce the number of errors that occur when managing your travel and operations. By using a system like ours, you can improve efficiency by eliminating redundant processes and having just one system for all your needs. This means fewer mistakes are made which translate into happier customers who appreciate how easy they have it while they’re traveling through your hotel or resort.  

Second, with a TMS at hand, you’ll have more time to focus on other aspects of running your business instead of wasting time repeating tasks over again or trying new ones each time there’s an administrative problem (like making sure everyone has their ID cards). As an example: let’s say someone is late for check-in due an unexpected delay getting out their car after work; instead of having them wait until 9pm at night because everyone else has arrived early enough before then – where do those people go? They end up sleeping somewhere else that night instead because no one knows what happens while some random person waits around until tomorrow morning!
