Travel Logics specializes in the following services:

For the corporation:

· Travel technology evaluation and recommendation. Travel Logics has either extensive experience working with, or has thoroughly evaluated, almost every online booking tool on the market today, as well as web fare tools, global distribution systems, and other travel and expense related software. We believe that all tools are unique, as are all customers, and that the success of the program often depends on finding the right match for the individual corporation. Upon analysis of a corporation’s travel program, Travel Logics assists the corporation in finding the best match.
· Travel technology implementation. The deployment of new technology allows many of the traditional processes to be streamlined or eliminated for a significant increase in efficiency. Travel Logics can provide guidance on the implementation process.
· Travel technology adoption. Travel Logics has assisted corporations of all sizes with the deployment of successful adoption strategies. In addition, Travel Logics has also designed adoption programs for travel management firms and travel technology providers to use with their clients.  Please note that as an alternative to our full adoption service, we also offer an intuitive product, Xcelerater, to increase online booking tool usage.  Please visit our Xcelerater page for additional details and to order this product.  
· Online booking tool mandate consultation. Travel Logics realizes that a corporation’s culture largely dictates whether or not a mandate is an option; therefore the mandate program is separate from the adoption program. Should a company choose our mandate program, they will find that they are provided granular detail on how to go about mandating their tool, from process to recommended agency verbiage.  If you are unsure whether your company should deploy adoption strategies or mandate, you may want to consider Xcelerater.  
· Travel agency RFP assistance and recommendation. 

For travel technology and travel management companies:

· Product evaluation and recommendation. Whether you are looking to enhance your current technology offering or need assistance with the selection of third party software, Travel Logics can help.
· Program evaluation and recommendation. Upon analysis, we can assist you with strategies that allow you to provide more value to your clients, as well as assist you in identifying tracking mechanisms for those strategies.
· Process analysis and recommendation. Upon analysis of your development, business, and other processes, Travel Logics can provide process optimization guidance.

Increase Online Booking Tool Adoption

In today’s economy, corporations focus on cost savings more than ever and the deployment of online booking tools continues to rapidly increase as more CFOs are trying to rein in their second largest controllable expense, corporate travel. However, the industry average increase of just 5% per year, over the past three years, in actual usage of the tools amongst the traveler base, currently at just 16%, substantiates the need for better tool promotion to the traveler base of many corporations.

Travel Logics has designed successful online booking tool adoption programs for corporations, travel management firms, and travel technology providers.

Travel Logics offers an adoption service and also a mandate service:

We will work with you to assess your needs and then build a plan off of a set foundation of critical adoption fundamentals in order to arrive at a proven, yet customized solution for your company.

What percentage of adoption can a company expect with Travel Logics adoption service?
Typically, a lack of tool promotion to a traveler base will only result in 6% adoption and usually no more than 10%. Travel Logics’ adoption service is for companies with a goal between 30% to 60% adoption on eligible transactions.  Some companies have reached 70% and higher  with these strategies; however, this is not as frequent as the companies that have accomplished 30%-45%. The actual rate a company will reach is going to depend on several factors such as travel policy and configuration of the tool in use. This service is beneficial to companies that would like to increase adoption, but have no desire to mandate tool use to their traveler base.
