Overview

Travel is one of the highest controllable spend for most companies. Many companies face the challenge of ensuring policy compliance while providing flexible travel options to their employees. To address this, they have corporate arrangements with airlines with negotiated fares. Airlines on the other hand face challenges in managing multiple corporate customers while ensuring revenue maximization through such channels. IBS Software designed iFly Corporate to create and maintain relationships between airlines and their corporate partners. Airlines can offer iFly Corporate to their corporate customers to manage their travel needs for business travel as well as leisure travel. Corporates can define business rules, and approval workflows in iFly Corporate to ensure compliance to their travel policy. With full administrative control, airlines can manage multiple corporate customers with specific fares and rules through a single application. iFly Corporate ensures simple integration and direct distribution of airline products such as flight, hotel, car, insurance, and other ancillaries to large and small corporates across the globe. Airlines can enhance the value in terms of cost savings, policy compliance, and integrated corporate loyalty.
