Premier Insights

American Express Global Business Travel (GBT) has launched PREMIER INSIGHTS in Canada.

PREMIER INSIGHTS is a data visualization tool that provides companies and their travel managers with a complete view of their travel program to drive greater efficiencies, improvements and savings.

The tool integrates American Express® Corporate Cards and travel booking data into a single platform, providing companies and their travel managers with access to a comprehensive, single-source view of their entire travel program.

Historically, aggregating booking and spend data has posed challenges for travel managers.

For companies using multiple reporting platforms, it can be difficult to break down program performance data by division, incorporate new sources of incoming data and recommend areas to prioritize.

PREMIER INSIGHTS offers a simple way to consolidate and analyze travel data.

Through its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, the tool offers clear and concise metrics to highlight and prioritize potential savings opportunities, enabling travel managers to take action and drive accountability across their companies.

Jacinthe Ladouceur, VP and general manager, American Express Global Business Travel, Canada, said:
“Being able to bring transparency and value to our customers via travel consumption and spending insight has always been a top priority for GBT.”

Ladouceur pointed out that: “PREMIER INSIGHTS takes this process to the next level, placing invaluable insight at the fingertips of travel managers, relieving them of the stress and time often associated with pulling and sifting through data. This gives them the chance to focus on what’s most important to them – improving the overall traveller experience and driving cost savings.”

Christophe Tcheng, vice-president, core products and platform architecture, American Express Global Business Travel, noted that: “This new platform was developed as a departure from the manual ways travel managers used to access and pull data,” added. “As part of our larger technology investment, we built this solution from the ground up using big data and predictive analytics to reinvent how travel managers make decisions about their travel program.”

Currently, PREMIER INSIGHTS is available in more than 20 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

The tool is expected to integrate other corporate card types and booking data into the platform later this year.
