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

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.
