Whatever your role, Booking.com for Business is the corporate travel tool that makes the job of booking work trips easier.
There are a number of roles that may need you to travel for work. Software consultants often travel to client sites for implementation projects and to offer on-site support. Field engineers travel to install and deploy systems at client locations.
Those in technical sales roles travel to demonstrate software to prospective clients, scope requirements and answer questions face-to-face. Once a sale is made, software companies often send developers to client sites to train employees and troubleshoot complex issues.
Business travel for developers and software engineers also takes place for company meetings, industry events and emergency on-site support.
If you work for an enterprise software company, you may have to travel to assist with large implementations and customisation. Financial services often need on-site software deployment and support. Field engineers in manufacturing travel to work on automation systems. And medical software can involve on-site work for implementation and training.
Managing travel for these individuals involves coordinating appropriate accommodation, flights and car rentals. Because projects can range in duration and be located in city centres or more remote areas, choice and flexibility is key. So is cost effectiveness, especially for long-term projects or when someone needs to travel to the same location more than once. Overseeing team safety is also important, along with the ability to track spend.
