Introduction
Most organizations have a travel management company. Very few have someone making sure that TMC is actually doing its job.
The gap between what your program is supposed to cost and what it actually costs lives in that space, the policy exceptions no one catches, the contracts that auto-renew unchallenged, the negotiated rates that quietly go unapplied. Your finance team isn't equipped to find it. Your TMC isn't incentivized to flag it. And a quarterly review will never move fast enough to do anything about it.
Embedded Travel Partnership is how StratTrav closes that gap. We operate inside your program as a permanent, confidential strategic layer, continuously monitoring, continuously acting, and accountable to one party only: you.
Program Oversight & Accountability
Your TMC manages bookings. We manage your TMC.
Most travel management companies are measured on transaction volume, not program performance. That means no one is proactively flagging when your negotiated hotel rates aren't being honored, when off-program bookings are accumulating, or when a supplier contract is due for renegotiation. That's not a failure of your TMC, it's simply not what they were designed to do.
We were. We monitor performance against your program objectives, escalate service failures before they become patterns, and hold every vendor accountable to the terms you've already negotiated, not once a year, but continuously.
Your Retainer. Your Program. Fully Covered.
No itemized invoices. No surprise add-ons. No scope disputes.
Your retainer covers everything, from the initial program assessment we conduct at onboarding, to ongoing supplier audits, unused ticket recovery, policy enforcement, and quarterly ROI reporting. When something needs attention, we handle it. That is what the partnership means.
This is not a consulting engagement with a defined end date. It is a permanent extension of your leadership team, with one objective: your program performs the way it should, every single month. Our retainer keeps your upfront cost structured and predictable. Where we recover savings on your behalf, we retain a portion, which means our financial incentives are perfectly aligned with yours.
Key Features:
Program Assessment
Before we recommend anything, we audit your current state, spend, policy, TMC performance, and supplier contracts. You see exactly where the gaps are before we begin.
Policy Enforcement
We review your travel policy against current market standards and your organization's actual traveler behavior. We close what's open and fix what isn't working.
Supplier Accountability
We verify that your negotiated rates are being applied consistently post-travel. Most programs have leakage here that goes undetected for years.
Unused Ticket Recovery
We track every voided, exchanged, or unused airline ticket and ensure the credit is captured and applied before it expires quietly.
Quarterly ROI Reporting
Every quarter you receive a concise, documented summary of what was found, what was resolved, and what it saved. The math is always visible. Nothing is left to interpretation.
Your program is costing more than it should. One confidential conversation is all it takes to find out how much.
