Management Reporting

A summary of travel savings offered to, and made by, the company is evaluated and provided on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis in the form of user-friendly Management Reports.

These Management Reports are designed only after consultation with the client, to ensure the reports are structured to meet each client’s specific requirements.  The reports may be based on, for example, departments and/or cost centers.

The reports show the developments relating to savings and “missed savings,” and in relation to opportunities presented within certain cost centers and/or departments.

Schiphol Travel keeps a record of the so-called “missed savings,” which are travel alternatives that were offered, but not accepted by the passenger or the person making the reservations. Schiphol Travel records and compares these amounts per department, cost center and/or product group. The client receives a report showing the results in user-friendly graphics. It may be crucial for the management of a company to review how much money could theoretically be saved by accepting travel alternatives.  In addition, the Management Report can show the average ticket value, the cost per mile, the share of the various airlines used, and many other areas as requested.     

A Saving
A “saving” is the difference between the rate that we calculate and the normally applicable rate for a given route.

Missed Savings
If the person making the reservation, or the passenger, chooses a travel alternative that is more expensive than the rate that we offered (whereas the rate offered qualifies as a valid route within the defined travel policy), we refer to this as “missed savings.”

The graph below (Example 1, left-hand graph) shows what the company spent per month (realized). The blue line represents what the situation would have been if all passengers had accepted the rates offered. This blue line represents the lower limit of possible (but not realized) expenditure under the travel policy. The difference between the realized travel expenditure (pink line) and the lowest possible travel expenditure (blue line) represents the missed savings. The difference between the yellow and pink lines represents the amount that Schiphol Travel has managed to save on the client’s behalf (the savings).

The graph on the right shows more detail in relation to the savings and the missed savings.
