Smarter rates and intuitive tech power Topcon’s travel transformation
Managing travel for more than 1,200 people across 25 businesses worldwide is no easy feat.
As a global leader in technology supporting sustainable infrastructure and agriculture, Topcon Positioning Systems (Topcon) knew it was time for a more simplified way to manage business travel.
By partnering with Corporate Traveller, they ditched patchwork processes, rolled out powerful booking tech, and said yes to travel perks that actually make a difference (hello, Breakfast Plus). The result? A centralised program that’s saving time, improving compliance, and lifting travel savings from 3.2% to 10% in just two years.
The results speak for themselves:
- 10% travel program savings through smarter rates and value-adds
- 1,500+ online booking tool users across multiple countries
- Free hotel breakfasts and Wi-Fi = happier travellers and fewer expense headaches
- Better visibility and control thanks to a centralised system
- Enhanced traveller safety and faster support in emergencies
READ THE FULL CASE STUDY
Topcon technology has helped construction companies around the world boost productivity and efficiency—just like our travel tech has helped Topcon take control of bookings and expenses.
Based in Australia, Cassie Kerton has led Topcon’s global travel transformation since 2014, consolidating everything into one central program with game-changing results.
Our employees are already trying to reduce costs in their bookings. Through our onboarding process, we’re educating our teams on the savings that can be achieved by booking through our travel program rather than looking for the cheapest internet rates. Our employees understand that what we save in travel we can invest in new Topcon technologies, projects and most importantly, people.
Corporate Traveller has been our partner in building this culture. They support our education processes and implementations around the world.
