Why We Built the Musafir Business Platform

Corporate travel is essential for any business hoping to access an increasingly #global #marketplace .?

With #meetings , #conferences and international #projects coming to the fore after the universal disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are again recognizing the value of face-to-face meetings. Video calls have saved many businesses during the lockdowns and continue to serve an important purpose in reducing unnecessary travel, but nothing can replace in-person interactions.

Many businesses are keen to encourage more #corporate #travel to improve #networking prospects, but all too often the actual acts of planning, approving and booking are left as an afterthought. As a result, businesses risk incurring higher costs due to late arrangements, missing out on the advantages of the best available rates, or even facing event- or meeting cancellations due to?unavailable #flights and accommodations.?

We came up with the idea for the Musafirbiz Corporate Travel Management Platform to make #businesstravel seamless, providing a one-stop-shop #solution for #enterprise -level travel needs whilst enabling organizations to save money. The platform was designed from the ground up with a keen focus on what #corporations really require.

1) Clear policy configuration so staff can book their travel: This feature saves time for the business and allows staff to make arrangements that suit them best. A configurable interface enables organizations to set precise rules around the type of accommodation, airline cabin class and budget which an employee or department qualifies for based on internal #HR policies.

2) Easy-to-use platform: We noticed that many other platforms had over-complicated dashboards that tend to result in staff members resorting to previous behaviors (picking up the phone to call an agent or a PA). We concentrated on creating a well-designed and straightforward user interface that is a delight to use.?

3) A clear and speedy approval process: One of the things that can cause a delay in corporate travel and introduce the risk of missing out on bookings is delays in approvals. Our platform eases the process by sending automated reminders with one-click approvals supported via multiple devices to speed up the process. Organizations can also configure the workflow as per their delegation of authority.

4) Detailed and customizable?reports: Every business wants to keep a close eye on corporate travel to manage costs and ensure policies are complied with. The Musafir Business platform comes with an interactive dashboard providing a complete view of travel spending across an organization that can be sliced and diced easily. Organizations have leveraged the data to drive better corporate rates from airlines and also enhance their travel policies.

Cost-conscious businesses know the value of saving time and money.?We’ve built the #MusafirBusiness platform to help organizations by making the entire process easier and protecting their bottom line.
