Case Study - THUS Plc
Gray Dawes was appointed travel partner to THUS from 1st April 2006. THUS is one of the UK’s leading network operators, and specialises in the corporate and SME markets. It provides a range of voice, data and internet services, operating through the THUS and Demon brands.
The Task
THUS were happy with their current travel provider, but wanted an internet solution for their bookers. After visiting the Business Travel Show and looking at online systems from other Business Travel Management companies they felt that gdbookonline had what they wanted.
The Solution
THUS could see the advantages of:
- instant access to flight and rail availability and fares
- ability to pin-point individual London airports
- controlling their travel policy, enabling them to remove their authorisation process
- comprehensive reporting to monitor cost savings and performance
