Why manage travel in the same place as employee spend?

Did you know? Travel spend can be managed just like any other employee spend

You know that you need good visibility and accountability on all your employee spend, and travel can account for a large part of that. But did you know that you can manage your travel spend right alongside all your other discretionary spend?

With Neo1, it’s just one easy, online set-up away. Built to manage employee spend, Neo1 integrates online booking and offline traveler care from the world’s largest business travel company, American Express Global Business Travel (GBT). It includes the whole process, from searching and booking flights and hotels to managing employees’ mileage claims, in one easy-to-use platform.

Here is a step-by-step view of how booking travel in Neo1 can improve the traveler experience and help you better manage your cashflow.

1. Get set up quickly and easily: As soon as you complete the quick, online Neo1 registration, you have access to its integrated online booking platform. Next, list your employees and they will be invited to generate and authenticate log-in credentials for Neo1. Now your employees can complete their personal traveler profile, including loyalty program memberships, and book their next trip. It’s that easy.
2. Let GBT be your travel guide: If you don’t have a corporate travel policy, Neo1 has one for you. The online booking platform has a built-in set of travel guidelines. It presents travel options to users, which allows them to make the right decision based on cabin class, hotel star ratings or even carbon emission guidelines – all in line with best practices for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
3. Book when, where, and how you like: Book on your laptop, through the Amex GBT Mobile app, or with a live GBT travel counselor on the phone or via chat. Plan your trip with options for flights, trains, car rentals, and taxi rides all presented in one place accessible anytime, anywhere.
4. Travel with confidence: Today, it is more important than ever that travelers and companies have support and information relative to travel restrictions, health measures, and possible disruptions to travel plans. In the booking tool, Neo1 provides a link to Travel Vitals™, a dynamic web-based tool that provides clients and travelers with consistent and pertinent travel information. Travelers will also see what health measures airlines and hotels are implementing directly in the booking tool. For bookings in Neo1, travelers will have 24/7 access to GBT travel counselors to help out when travel plans are disrupted.
5. Capture expenses in one place: The cost of business travel doesn’t stop once reservations are made. Neo1 includes travel booking as well as a complete spend management tool where travelers can also include other expenses as they are incurred during a trip. Costs can be automatically attributed to the appropriate cost centers, making expenses quick and easy to finalize.
