Data Generation & Consolidation

Critical data for effective travel management

Carlson Wagonlit Travel works with its clients to generate and consolidate the data that is the foundation to optimizing a travel program.

Worldwide data repository

Data is the cornerstone of effective travel management–without it, you cannot measure anything in an objective or meaningful way. The foundation of CWT data generation and consolidation services is a single worldwide data warehouse–the most comprehensive and robust in the travel management industry. Via this single data warehouse environment, CWT captures client data for all daily transactions worldwide, with data available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CWT clients can access data globally, with the same functionality and quality assurance processes from region to region, consistent processes, advanced data mapping capabilities, and flexible hierarchy management. CWT is already consolidating data from 140+ countries for more than 10,000 clients, including more than 250 multinational clients.

Award-winning travel management tools

CWT has also developed a one-stop, multilingual, Web-based tool, the CWT Program Management Center, to help clients simplify, prioritize, and optimize their travel programs. The CWT Program Management Center offers a comprehensive, scalable array of reporting and analysis capabilities, allowing clients to customize their reporting components based on their specific needs. Launched in April 2007, the CWT Program Management Center is used by more than 10,000 CWT clients across 60+ countries and is available in six languages and ten currencies.

Through this tool, CWT offers customizable dashboards that monitor key performance metrics, coupled with integrated data from a variety of sources–pre-trip, post-ticket, credit card, and expense management–that help travel managers and procurement professionals track and optimize their travel programs on an ongoing basis. Not only do these dashboards serve as an executive-level snapshot on how your company’s travel program is performing; but they also offer instant access to transaction-level detail for more scrutiny of the detailed information behind the charts. By analyzing traveler behavior and taking action accordingly, you quickly maximize savings opportunities. The ability to change your view of information from global to regional or national levels, offers maximum flexibility for managers of complex programs.
