Airfare benchmarking

Insight into whether your TMC’s airline ticket purchases and your airline contracts are in line with market standards

Your challenge as Travel Manager & Buyer


  • Our travelers sometimes find a better fare on the internet than our TMC offers.

  • Our BoM sees ticket costs rising significantly and asks me what I am doing to control these costs.

  • I know that more and more fares are only bookable outside the GDSs. Does our TMC always manage to find the lowest available airfare in the jungle of fares on the various distribution channels?


  • We have negotiated contract fares with various airlines on various routes. It is unclear how our contract fares compare to those of other companies.


  A no-brainer ROI


  • Unlock  2%-9% savings on your air travel budget
  • Spot hidden saving opportunities others miss
  • Gain access to exclusive (joint) airline deals
  • Quarterly monitoring if contracted fares are still loaded correctly

Joint Contracting: Smarter Together

We identify fragmented, non-contracted volumes across our client base and bundle them into joint deals with airlines. One collective contract, shared with all. No extra fees — just extra value.

Test Travel Policy Changes — With Real Data

What would it save if you switched from business class to premium or economy on certain routes? We simulate these policy shifts using actual fares from the market — just a few clicks and the impact becomes crystal clear.
