It’s more important to go green than ever before, and it pays to get business sustainability right.
But times are tough, the UK economy is shaky, and with increasing pressure on company finances it’s tempting to park your eco goals.
Fortunately, there are ways to cut costs while protecting the planet. One stellar way is to take control of your business expenses by pairing an eco-friendly travel management system (TMS) with a green expense management solution.
Keep reading to learn why this is the perfect combo for sustainable business travel.
But what are they?
Travel management systems and expense management solutions are different but overlapping tools that help you to control your business travel expenses.
A travel management system allows workers to book trips in line with your travel policy. While managers get complete oversight, can set budgets, spend limits, and analyse spending.
Expense management systems are similar but designed to manage expenses more broadly with payment cards, an app to capture receipts, real-time visibility, approvals, and a portal. They often integrate with your accounting package.
