Introduction
Not every organization is ready for an ongoing partnership. Sometimes there is one specific problem that needs to be solved, and solved correctly, by someone who has no financial interest in the outcome other than getting it right.
Your TMC contract is up for renewal and you don't know if the terms are competitive. Your hotel program hasn't been renegotiated in years. You need an independent, expert set of eyes on your travel policy before it goes live. You're evaluating a new TMC and don't know how to run the process without being steered.
Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation is built for exactly that. Defined scope. Expert execution. Unconflicted recommendations. We do the work, we deliver the outcome, and we hand it back to you ready to use.
Independent. Unconflicted. Completely.
When StratTrav negotiates on your behalf, we negotiate for you. Full stop.
We hold no preferred supplier agreements. We accept no referral fees from TMCs, airlines, or hotel chains. When we run an RFP or negotiate a contract, the only thing driving our recommendation is what is objectively best for your program. That independence is the difference between advice you can trust and advice that sounds right but serves someone else's interest.
Our sourcing work is grounded in current market benchmarks, direct supplier relationships built over decades in the industry, and a clear understanding of what the market will actually bear. We push for it, because we have nothing to protect on the other side of the table.
A Project That Often Becomes More
Most organizations that begin with a sourcing engagement come away with something they didn't expect: complete clarity on what their travel program actually costs, where it leaks, and what it could look like under active management.
That clarity often makes the case for ongoing partnership better than anything we could say in an introductory conversation. We don't push for it. But when it makes sense, the transition is seamless, and the work we've already done together becomes the foundation we build on.
Key Features:
TMC Selection & RFP
We manage the full evaluation process, requirements gathering, RFP development, proposal scoring, finalist interviews, and contract negotiation. Independent. Rigorous. Completely unbiased.
Airline Contract Negotiation
We benchmark your current air spend against market rates, identify contract opportunities, and negotiate directly with carriers to secure the best available corporate terms.
Hotel Program Sourcing
We run your hotel RFP, evaluate proposals against your organization's actual traveler patterns, and negotiate rates and amenities that reflect what your program genuinely needs.
Car Rental Optimization
We review your current car program, benchmark against current market pricing, and negotiate city-specific or national agreements that reduce costs without compromising service quality.
Program Audit
A comprehensive, confidential review of your travel program (spend, policy, compliance, supplier contracts, and TMC performance) with a clear, prioritized roadmap for what to address and in what order.
One problem. One engagement. Complete expertise. Tell us what you're working on.
