SkyGate 4
Take
control of your travel costs
SkyGate4 is a comprehensive travel management system used by
corporate travel managers at medium-sized companies. The
increased control provided by SkyGate4 enables corporations to
dramatically cut travel costs while increasing service and
productivity. SkyGate4 delivers a wide range of unique
benefits for companies that depend on travel to meet their
business objectives. The primary benefits provided by SkyGate4
are described below.
Reduce
internal and external travel-related costs
SkyGate4 enables corporate travel managers to optimise both
internal and external costs. Internal costs are typically
where the most extensive cost reductions can be made. For
example, SkyGate4 enables auditors to determine whether or not
travellers are consistently selecting low-fare tickets when
offered and whether travellers are consistently booking with
short lead times. In terms of external costs, SkyGate4
provides a range of cost-cutting capabilities such as
verifying that the rebates provided by suppliers are accurate.

Reduce
travel costs and travel related-costs
SkyGate4 enables your company to consolidate and leverage
actual travel data from a wide variety of sources. These
sources include Global Distribution Systems, travel agency
invoices, and any other suppliers you may use. With the
consolidated travel data in SkyGate4, you get a broad range of
options for determining where and how cost reductions can be
made. You can also use the data to, for example, negotiate
better discounts with travel suppliers and gain better use of
frequent flier miles.
Enforce the corporate travel policy
Using SkyGate4, your organization gains a centralized method
for enforcing the corporate travel policy. SkyGate4 is
delivered with extensive functionality that makes it easy to
enforce both simple and complex travel policies. With
SkyGate4, you can maintain control, measure the effectiveness
of you travel policy, and give individual travellers
consistent travel guidelines.
Increase service and productivity
Whether travel requests are made via phone or email, SkyGate4
provides a shared work queue that lets travel booking
personnel process bookings quickly and efficiently. The
ability to centrally process bookings from one, easy-to-use
queue translates into better service for corporate travellers
and enables travel managers to maintain full control.
Reduce travel administration costs via self-service
By deploying SkyWeb, an intranet travel request
"front-end" for SkyGate4, your organization can
leverage the benefits of self-service for individual
travellers while enforcing the corporate travel policy. SkyWeb
features include "book anywhere" that lets
individual travellers manage travel requests at the office or
on the road and the "Who's Where" screen. This
screen is available via the corporate intranet and shows the
travel plans and whereabouts for all subscribing employees. |
