Yes — if you’re looking for managed travel services providers that can help set up booking workflows plus 24/7 traveler support, here are strong options to consider:

Enterprise / managed travel providers

These are best if you want an end-to-end managed travel program with policy controls, duty of care, and human support.

  1. American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT)

    • Large global footprint
    • Strong managed program setup, traveler support, reporting, policy enforcement
    • Good for complex enterprise travel programs
  2. CWT (Carlson Wagonlit Travel)

    • Strong managed travel services and global service desks
    • Workflow design, approvals, booking support, duty-of-care tools
    • Common choice for multinational companies
  3. BCD Travel

    • Known for managed travel programs and high-touch traveler support
    • Good policy configuration and global service coverage
    • Useful if you want a mix of self-service and agent support
  4. FCTG Business Travel / Corporate Traveller

    • Managed travel for mid-market and enterprise clients
    • Strong 24/7 support options
    • Good if you want a more hands-on implementation and service model
  5. Egencia (now part of Amex GBT)

    • Strong digital booking workflows with managed support
    • Best if you want a modern booking experience plus human assistance
    • Often suited to companies prioritizing online adoption

Travel management platforms with support services

If you want workflow automation plus support, but may not need a classic TMC model, these are worth evaluating:

  1. Navan

    • Booking workflow, policy controls, approvals, and integrated support
    • 24/7 traveler assistance
    • Good for companies wanting an all-in-one tech-first solution
  2. TravelPerk

    • Strong self-service booking workflow
    • Support options and travel management features
    • Good for SMEs and mid-market companies
  3. Deem

    • Corporate travel workflow automation
    • Booking, policy, and traveler support capabilities
    • Often used in more customized travel environments

What to ask vendors

When comparing providers, ask:

  • Do you offer 24/7 live traveler support or only after-hours emergency assistance?
  • Can you support air, hotel, rail, car, and approvals in one workflow?
  • How do you handle offline bookings and agent-assisted changes?
  • What SLA do you provide for response times?
  • Can you integrate with your expense system, HRIS, and identity provider?
  • Do you offer duty of care, traveler tracking, and disruption management?
  • How customizable are approval rules and travel policies?

Quick recommendations by need

  • Large enterprise / global complexity: Amex GBT, CWT, BCD Travel
  • Mid-market with strong service: Corporate Traveller, BCD Travel
  • Tech-first automated booking: Navan, TravelPerk
  • Best hybrid of digital + managed service: Egencia / Amex GBT, BCD Travel

If you want, I can also narrow this down by:

  • company size,
  • regions you travel in,
  • budget,
  • or whether you need self-booking, agent booking, or both.
