Mid-sized travel agencies can now compete for major corporate accounts without building custom tech. This blog shows how plug-and-play platforms help agencies deliver branded experiences, ensure compliance, offer real-time insights, and leverage AI—enabling them to scale efficiently and win in a digital-first travel landscape.

Per diem may seem convenient, but it's quietly costing businesses more than they realize. This blog explores the hidden inefficiencies of flat-rate travel allowances — from missed tax refunds and poor spend visibility to compliance risks and lack of duty of care. It contrasts this with the advantages of a complete, automated travel and expense management system, showing how businesses can save costs, reclaim taxes, and improve traveler safety. Real-world impact is highlighted through Ozonetel’s 11–13% cost savings with TripGain.

In this executive Q&A, Mr. Sudheer Reddy, Founder of TripGain, explores the impact of IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) on corporate travel. He emphasizes that NDC offers dynamic pricing, personalized content, and potential savings of up to 16% per ticket. However, adoption remains slow due to technological fragmentation and lack of standardization. TripGain addresses these challenges by consolidating NDC, GDS, and direct airline content into a unified, policy-compliant platform that maintains control, visibility, and reporting for travel managers. With direct airline partnerships and a channel-agnostic approach, TripGain enhances access to rich, real-time content. Looking ahead, the company aims to combine NDC with AI-driven automation to deliver intelligent, cost-effective travel experiences. The key to unlocking NDC’s potential lies in smart integration and user-centric design.
