Case Study
AIG
American International Group Inc (AIG) is a leading international insurance organisation serving customers in more than 130 countries.
Reducing data entry by 80%
The goal was to improve productivity when booking travel within their workforce, and one of the reasons AIG adopted a travel management system. AIG opted for the Hermes operational platform which has delivered an immediate 80% reduction of all data input enabling bookers and consultant’s reallocation of time from administration to making informed booking choices.
Effective reporting for business travel
AIG wished to streamline communication and performance visibility between AIG global hubs for travel management. The objective was to measure report and record in a meaningful manner centrally highlighting cultural, behavioural and purchasing variances between countries and local country management. Also, to minimise process, eliminate errors and cultivate immediate communication adopting best practice and new technology whilst remaining compatible with an existing global operating platform.
Training and support
Meon Valley Travel developed ‘Hermes’, a bespoke operating application compatible with AIG’s Liberty global operation system; creating automatic pre-population of travel requests, policy requirements, authorisations and travel itinerary communication.
Meon Valley Travel adopted telephone coaching for new staff. Mentoring by phone has been added to supplement Meon’s support of AIG internal training for travellers and managers.
