Adelman Travel Includes Management Consulting Services in Standard Offering

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adelman Travel now employs global management consultants to direct their customers' travel programs and provide all consulting initiatives.  This structure incorporates consulting services into account management to deliver a single point of contact for both solutions. 

"While some travel management companies offer consulting services to their corporate customers, these are typically separate from their account management organization," said Steve Cline, Chief Operating Officer of Adelman Travel.  "Such an arrangement can lead to significant increases in the cost of a travel program because the consulting service is connected to a separate cost center within the TMC.  At Adelman, we combine these services into a single product for our customers and do not charge separately for our consulting services." 

Adelman's management consultants go through a rigorous internal certification process to become what the company refers to as "corporate travel architects."  Through this process, they learn how to provide solutions that go beyond identifying trends found in standard travel data and to consult on all elements of T&E expenses.  Management consultants advise on strategies that include integrated video conferencing (VideoTravel™), risk management, and implementation of expense and payment solutions, as well as providing additional services such as travel policy development and supplier negotiations.  Adelman's objective is to educate and alter traveler behavior that ultimately results in ROI for their customers.

"Adelman Travel has always taken a consultative approach to managing our customers' travel programs," said Gary Deutsch, Vice President of Global Management Consulting.  "By providing our customers with management consulting services, we are taking our approach to the next level and going beyond the normal boundaries of TMC services." 

Adelman's management consultants use the Adelman Blueprint, a customized plan that provides a solution-focused, comprehensive illustration of a company's travel program.  The Blueprint is an integrated engine that manages leakage by capturing data from Adelman's global reporting solution, which is automatically populated into the plan to create strategic solutions. 

"I have been an Adelman customer for the past 18 months.  During this time Adelman has been diligent in bringing value to my travel program. My Global Management Consultant consistently studies and interprets my company's travel information and then provides me with multiple solutions that have a positive impact on my company's bottom line," said Diana Paine, Manager of Travel Operations at Omni Air International.  "Adelman is a very forward thinking company, which is what made me select them in the first place."
