Our "Off-Channel Bookings: Do You Know Where Your Travelers Are?" webinar offered a comprehensive exploration of how off-channel bookings can impact corporate travel programs and how the Traxo-International SOS integration delivers a game-changing solution for travel managers and risk professionals.

With Rebecca Sheehan, SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Traxo, and Kate King, Director of Global Travel Partnerships at International SOS, at the helm, the 45-minute session provided critical insights into addressing the blind spots created by off-channel bookings. Live demos led by Rory Gallagher and Matt Griffin showcased the seamless data flow between Traxo and International SOS, offering attendees an inside look at the integration in action.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Visibility Imperative: The webinar began by underscoring the risks posed by invisible spend—travel bookings made outside managed channels. These blind spots can jeopardize employee safety and undermine duty-of-care obligations, making real-time visibility non-negotiable for global organizations.

  • 80% of Attendees Struggle with Leaked Bookings: Attendees weighed in on how off-channel spend impacts their travel programs today, with 80% stating they experienced a significant amount of leaked bookings or simply couldn't quantify how many bookings were occurring off-channel.
     
  • Integrated Solutions in Action: Attendees saw how the Traxo-International SOS integration provides real-time visibility into all travel bookings, including off-channel activity. Through a live demo, they witnessed bookings captured by Traxo flowing instantly into International SOS, ensuring complete location awareness and enabling proactive risk management.

  • Platform Highlights: The discussion highlighted the powerful insights available through both platforms. Traxo offers unparalleled data visibility, while International SOS provides tools to act on that data, ensuring employees remain safe no matter where they are.
