BCD Travel strengthens GetGoing platform with expense management

NEWS RELEASE

“The launch of Go Travel & Expense is a key milestone in advancing BCD’s vision to offer a turnkey solution for small and midsize businesses looking for a single travel and expense provider,” said Dave Mitchell, president of the BCD Travel Mid-Market division and executive lead of GetGoing in the U.S. “Because it’s one app, one supplier, one contract, all within the GetGoing platform, it’s an immediate activation, a breeze to manage and a delight for travelers to use. As a result, clients see better adoption and greater savings and policy compliance. Plus, we offer clear, tiered pricing that simplifies and speeds up onboarding.”

GetGoing is the solution of choice for small and mid-sized businesses  looking for a digital platform to control costs and simplify the way they manage travel and expense. While it’s designed for digitally driven programs, customers also enjoy access to expert agent support and the peace of mind that comes with it.

Since its launch in 2022, GetGoing has experienced triple-digit growth. Available in the U.S. and Germany, GetGoing plans to rapidly expand its capabilities and geographic footprint in the months ahead.

“GetGoing recently launched mobile apps for Google and Apple users, in addition to other improvements that empower clients to focus on their core business and growth while we remove the complexity of managing employee travel and expense,” said Ghislain Domi, global head of GetGoing. “We’re seeing great success with our existing client base and looking forward to building on that momentum.”

In addition to its newly launched expense capabilities, GetGoing offers companies and travelers a multitude of benefits:

Booking

With GetGoing, travel programs can be up and running within a matter of minutes. Travelers can easily book and manage trips from any device at any time, without any software installation. GetGoing uses BCD’s buying power to negotiate the best prices for clients. BCD’s industry leading content and partnerships with suppliers worldwide give GetGoing clients a wide range of exclusive deals and identifies residual values to be used for future bookings.

Policy automation

GetGoing’s platform enables companies to set up and automate travel policies, including flight, hotel, rental car and rail settings and automated pre-trip approval flows, so all bookings are automatically made within company policy.

Reporting

The built-in reporting solution offers a dashboard with travel data highlights and key metrics. It includes detailed reports with real-time data by traveler, date, location and more, enabling companies to empower their team, save time and find new ways to save on their travel costs and make the most of their travel budget. 

Traveler safety

To help companies fulfill their duty of care and give their travelers peace of mind, the platform also has an integrated safety and security solution. It includes the latest travel risks and restrictions, a live traveler tracking map and safe arrival check-in, and an AI-powered flight sorting feature that prioritizes safer options like direct flights or flights with connections in lower-risk countries. Automated trip-approval flows help monitor all traveler bookings and prevent employees from traveling to high-risk destinations.

Expert support

When support is needed, the helping hand of highly trained experts is just a call or click away. From travel and booking assistance to budget advice and 24/7 emergency support, the expert team is there to help travelers continue to their destination or get them back home safely.
