What we do
Our Services
KesselRun brings deep experience to every aspect of your corporate travel program. After close to 20 years in business, we still believe that every consulting engagement is as unique as our client’s business. Contact us and let’s discuss how KesselRun may be able to help you.
Consulting
Comprehensive or specific program audits which can range from risk management strategy to corporate travel agency best practices and management to program benchmarking. Our professionals are adept at every aspect of corporate travel and provide measurable and actionable advice.
Strategic Sourcing
Across the entire corporate travel supply chain, including travel agency RFP and selection, technology vendors, supplier negotiations and preferred vendors, preferred hotel programs, risk management, and expense management solutions. We are experts at strategic sourcing.
A truly optimized corporate travel program utilizes the right mix of technology, agency provider, and suppliers. Today, too many companies rely on its biased vendors for important program decisions. KesselRun represents our clients, not vendors. Our Strategic Sourcing practice helps to optimize your corporate travel program, helping in any area of your business that touches travel.
Program Management
Successful corporate travel programs are constantly managed to ensure vendor, technology, and agency relationships are optimized. Today, many corporate travel programs are not receiving enough attention because internal resources are both time and information starved. The result is that many clients rely on its biased vendors for program direction.
Our Program Management solution offers a better, faster, and less expensive way to manage our clients’ travel programs. Most importantly, our Program Management services are customized to fit our clients’ needs – from total Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) where our professionals take over the day to day management of your program to more specific involvement reporting directly to your Travel Manager or travel owner.
Risk Management
Corporate risk programs are directly tied to a company’s corporate travel program. The vast majority of traveler related information such as the whereabouts of corporate travelers, the ability to communicate with travelers in the event of an emergency and help travelers with anything from medical care to evacuations is both an ethical and legal consideration for organizations.
KesselRun provides comprehensive risk audits, sources risk management solutions, and ensures corporate best practices.
COVID-19 International Travel Preparedness
KesselRun’s COVID-19 Travel Preparedness engagement comes as a direct result of client demand for immediate, hands-on interaction with travelers and travel arrangers to ensure all travel protocols are in place upon booking throughout the travelers’ trip.
Similar to all of KesselRun’s client engagements, our solution is custom tailored to meet our clients’ needs. For some, a pre-trip checklist is all that is required. For others, KesselRun is providing 24/7 support throughout the trip to monitor changes to travel requirements and other travel risk related situations.
CapTrav
KesselRun’s first and only strategic partnership. CapTrav is a cloud-based software solution for Travel Managers, Procurement, and Risk professionals who want to leverage and report on 100% of their corporate travel spend no matter where their travelers book.
Complete program data visibility requires insight into not only those bookings through the TMC but also those booked through other channels.
