Disclosure: I've served ProcureApp as an unpaid advisor. Procurement folks hate undiscounted spend. They'll love ProcureApp. Why? Because it detects when a buyer (think traveler) has wandered onto a non-approved supplier's website. When that happens, a friendly message pops up.

After 42 years in the business and three years out, I am still aghast that almost all corporations I meet and hear about have not been able to crack the compliance issue. By this I mean their directors, executives and workforce being given a travel policy and complying with it.

Many people believe that having a systematic travel approval system increases control. For example: Software is used for the travelers to submit a request to travel; the request is routed to the manager, cost center manager, etc. Another: Your online booking tool requires formal approval before the reservation is queued for ticketing.

I think the corporate travel market is a bit like Star Trek at the moment, boldly, but somewhat reluctantly going where no self-respecting businessperson has gone before. Only troubles is that I am not sure all our industry leading Captain Kirks know what they are doing, and the poor old airship Global Enterprise seems to be going round in circles and disappearing up its own self-created black hole!

Why is it that intermediaries like travel agencies feel so misunderstood? Simple really: It is because they are misunderstood. Having been one for many years, I too bear the scars of righteous indignation and hurt at this great injustice. But hang on a second! All they have to do is tell people what value they bring and there will be no more misunderstanding and everyone will appreciate their value! It's as simple as that. I am proud that I have finally solved such a vexing issue for all travel-kind.
Wait a minute, though.
