Overview
CWT offers a variety of products and services to help clients optimize their travel program
and savings.
CWT works with clients to generate and consolidate timely, relevant data that is the
foundation of travel program optimization. CWT also assesses clients’ travel programs by analyzing
performance for each of the eight key levers to effective travel management. This assessment
includes benchmarking against best-in-class performance to help clients identify successful
practices, as well as opportunities for improvement. Together, CWT and its clients then define
performance targets, priorities and action plans, which are translated into measurable results that
are continuously monitored to drive progress.
CWT leverages its people and its technology to drive program optimization.
Web-based global reporting enables clients to more effectively analyze and manage their travel
program. CWT has also developed a one-stop, multilingual, Web-based tool, the CWT Program
Management Center, to help clients easily access information and streamline the management of their
travel program. Customized dashboards that monitor key performance metrics, coupled with integrated
data from a variety of sources–pre-trip bookings, post-trip data and credit card expenses–help
travel managers and procurement professionals track and optimize their travel program on an ongoing
basis. Reflecting its best-in-class properties, the
CWT Program Management Center won an Innovation Award at the 2008 Business Travel Show in
London.
CWT has more than 1,000 professionals around the world who are responsible for analyzing
travel programs and implementing program optimization strategies. They include travel program
managers, as well as subject matter experts in technology, supplier sourcing, booking and
fulfillment, and change management. At the point of sale, CWT travel counselors also help optimize
travel programs by providing travelers with information and booking alternatives, enabling them to
consistently comply with their company’s travel policy. Furthermore, the CWT Travel Management
Institute conducts in-depth research into the eight levers to effective travel management,
providing clients with actionable insights and best practices they can use to optimize their travel
program.
