  • PRESS RELEASE

Dnata Travel Services has strengthened its commitment to corporate clients by becoming the first Middle East company to offer online travel and expense (T&E) management solutions.

The online travel and expense management solution offered by Dnata, in conjunction with KDS and Spendvision, cuts costs and offers a hassle free means of managing travel booking and expense reimbursement, which typically represents over 52% of the overall T&E process costs.

The system provides a quick and easy way for travellers and travel coordinators to manage their travel needs.

Dnata's online solution captures all of the traveller's preferences, summarizes flight information based on corporate travel policies, tracks savings lost and allows for companies to monitor their travel spend.

It also offers an integrated solution to expense management, to automate expense processing, management and finance approvals, validation, management of receipts and taxes, coupled with real-time analysis thus enabling faster reimbursements.

Abdulla Tawakul, Senior Vice President Corporate & Regional Network, Dnata Travel Services, said:

"We are proud to offer this technology, which we anticipate will offer corporations savings of up to 20% on their travel spend. Corporations in the Middle East will now be able to optimise their travel processes and slash travel costs, while providing added services and security to travellers. A high proportion of companies experience internal cases of fraud - and many of those are expense related. This system allows for much tighter control over expense reimbursement, which at the same time making the process much quicker, easier and more accessible."


One of the benefits of the new system is that customers can access it from anywhere in the world from a desktop, laptop or mobile computing device, through the website corp.dnata.com, making it instantly accessible and available 24/7.

Rafi Ahmed, Head of E-Commerce, Dnata Travel Services, said: "The Dnata E-Commerce division is always on the lookout for ways we can harness the latest technology to improve our customer offering. This online travel and expense management solution uses the most up to date technology available and allows Dnata to provide a service that is unique in the Middle East."
