You know which airlines your employees book.
Do you know which ones actually perform?

Spend reports tell you what was purchased. Benchmarking tells you if fares were competitive. Neither tells you whether the flight departed on time, whether delays are chronic on specific routes, or what those disruptions are actually costing your organization in missed meetings, rebookings, and lost productivity.

Traxo's flight performance insights close that gap.
By layering actual departure and arrival data onto your booking records, travel managers can now:

✈️ Identify chronic problem routes before they become recurring complaints.
✈️ Compare airline partners on reliability, not just price.
✈️ Quantify the true value of status upgrades and lounge access for your travelers.
✈️ Give procurement real leverage in carrier negotiations beyond fare data.

This is the shift from reactive to predictive travel management.

When you can show a carrier that their on-time performance on your top routes is dragging down traveler satisfaction and costing your organization in downstream disruption, you're negotiating from data, not intuition.

Flight data shouldn't stop at "booked." It should tell the whole story.

Travel data has always told you what was booked.
It rarely told you who booked it, and why that matters to your program.

Which department is driving the most non-TMC bookings? Which cost centers have the highest rate of out-of-policy behavior? Which teams are repeatedly hit by delays on the same routes?

Without structured traveler profiles, these questions require manual reconciliation across disconnected systems. You're cross-referencing HR data, expense records, and booking reports that were never designed to talk to each other.

Traxo's extended traveler profiles change that. Department. Cost center. Operating region. Business unit. Manager. Employment status. Any attribute relevant to your program, consolidated into a single, evolving record for every traveler.

The result isn't just cleaner data. It's a fundamentally different way to run a travel program:

Spot compliance issues at the team level, not just individually. Negotiate with suppliers using real spend data by department and region. Build policies around how your employees actually travel, not assumptions.

Corporate travel programs work best when they're built around people. Extended traveler profiles make that possible.

By transforming scattered traveler records into organized extended traveler profiles, Traxo makes corporate travel programs smarter, safer, and more people-centered.

Boards are asking about it. Investors are measuring it. Regulators are moving toward requiring it.

Business travel emissions (Scope 3 Category 6 under the GHG Protocol) are no longer a side conversation. They're a board-level accountability item.

And yet most travel programs are still measuring sustainability after the fact, through expense reports and surveys that tell you what happened weeks ago.

Here are 5 trends reshaping sustainable business travel in 2026:

🌿 1. Travel becomes science-based. SBTi targets now include business travel as a measurable component, not an afterthought.

🌿 2. Activity-based emissions replace spend-based estimates. Mode, distance, and cabin class replace dollar-per-emission factors. Investors and regulators expect the upgrade.

🌿 3. SAF book-and-claim comes of age. Companies are purchasing Sustainable Aviation Fuel sustainability attributes even before infrastructure catches up.

🌿 4. Rail-first policies gain momentum. Where travel time is comparable, rail wins on emissions, comfort, and policy credibility.

🌿 5. Travel policy goes adaptive. Team-level carbon budgets, real-time booking nudges, and quarterly accountability reviews are replacing static policy documents.

Pre-trip and real-time booking data are the foundation of all of it. Without complete visibility, your ESG reporting has gaps you can't close.

On average, 40% of corporate travel bookings happen outside approved channels.

That's not a rounding error. That's nearly half your program operating in a blind spot, where duty of care providers can't see travelers, expense systems can't reconcile costs, and procurement teams can't count spend toward negotiated agreements.

The fix isn't stricter mandates. It's better infrastructure.

Traxo serves as the command center for modern travel programs, capturing every booking across 1,000+ agency and non-agency points of sale, the moment it's made, automatically. No action required from travelers. No gaps from personal card usage.

The result: a 99.7% accurate view of your entire program. In real time.

Through Traxo, that data flows directly to 14 integrated partners, including duty of care providers like International SOS and Crisis24, expense platforms like Emburse, and sustainability tracking tools, so every stakeholder in your travel ecosystem is working from the same complete picture.

Over 60% of booking events Traxo captures happen entirely outside of TMCs.

If you're relying on your TMC alone, you're missing the majority of what's actually happening in your program.

Most travel managers believe they have visibility into their programs. Most are wrong.

Here's what the data actually looks like:

Expense reports arrive 30 to 45 days after travel. The trip is over. The policy violation already happened. The safety window has closed.

Credit card feeds take 24 to 72 hours, and even then, you're getting a payment record, not travel data. You know someone spent $847 on "AIR TRAVEL - UNITED AIRLINES."

You don't know the flight, the routing, the fare class, or whether they'll be stranded if it cancels.

1 in 3 business travelers books with a personal credit card. That spend never enters your system until reimbursement, if at all.

The average corporate travel program has more than 40% of bookings made outside managed channels.
This isn't a minor gap. It's a structural failure, with real consequences for duty of care, cost control, and supplier negotiations.

The solution isn't another band-aid. It's capturing booking data at the source, the moment a reservation is made, regardless of payment method or channel.

That's the difference between managing travel and managing in the dark.

Traditional data sources create a fractured and incomplete picture that undermines modern travel management, from duty of care to cost control.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July from the Traxo team.

Whether you're traveling this weekend or staying close to home, enjoy the celebration. We'll be back to talking travel data on Monday.

The traditional boundaries of corporate travel management are dissolving.
Geopolitical tensions. Extreme weather events. Health crises. Rising crime rates. The risk landscape has changed, and duty of care programs built for a simpler world are showing their limits.

Here's the uncomfortable reality: companies can no longer responsibly limit their oversight to trips booked through official channels.

Employees book directly with airlines to preserve loyalty points. They use consumer sites for better rates. They arrange ground transportation outside corporate tools. Every one of those bookings creates a blind spot, a traveler you may not be able to reach when you need to most.

Complete visibility isn't just about cost control anymore. It's the new standard for fulfilling duty of care obligations in a volatile world.

The question isn't whether you have a travel policy. It's whether your data infrastructure can actually support that policy when it's tested.

We dig into what that shift looks like and what it takes to build a program that can meet the moment. Read the full post: https://bit.ly/4oSsbko

There's a question that breaks out at 6 a.m. when the news hits.

"Who do we have over there right now?"

It's not rhetorical. It's not a planning exercise. The organizations that can answer it in seconds will respond with clarity. The ones that can't will spend hours scrambling.

As geopolitical volatility accelerates (airspace closures, military strikes, rapidly shifting travel advisories) risk teams are learning a hard truth: having a duty of care policy is not the same as having a duty of care capability.

Duty of care gaps almost always lives in the "Orient" step of the OODA Loop. You can't decide until you know. You can't act until you know. And knowing — completely, confidently — requires that every booking across every channel already exists in a single, unified system.

Traxo closes that gap. Complete booking capture. Street-level traveler mapping. Instant filtering by region, country, city, or date range.

When the news breaks, your people deserve a prompt and accurate answer — not a best guess.

Can your team identify every traveler in an affected region in under 60 seconds? If the answer isn't a confident yes, it's worth a conversation.

Is your duty of care program ready for a world that doesn't play by the rules?
Our VP of Client Success, Aash Shravah, is joining an incredible panel on Wednesday, April 1st at 2:00 p.m. ET for a no-filter debrief on what recent crises in Venezuela, Mexico, and the Middle East mean for corporate travel risk — right now.

We'll be in conversation with security and travel risk leaders from Wabtec Corporation, La-Z-Boy, International SOS, and ZF Group. We're getting into the real stuff:

🔹 On-the-ground lessons from the disruptions that redefined travel risk in 2026
🔹 Whether personal travel belongs in your risk program (and the liability question you can't ignore)
🔹 Why assuming every traveler books through your TMC is a dangerous blind spot
🔹 How to gain true visibility into traveler movements — regardless of how they book

If you manage travel, security, or duty of care for your organization, this one's worth your hour. Register here: https://bit.ly/4rLJ9AP

When breaking news hits at 6 a.m., risk managers don't have the luxury of scrambling. The first question from the CEO, General Counsel, and HR director is always the same: "Who do we have over there right now?"

In the wake of escalating airspace closures and geopolitical instability across the Middle East — and just weeks after a similar crisis in Mexico — that question is exposing a hard truth about most enterprise travel risk programs: A duty of care policy is not the same as a duty of care capability.

Most organizations rely on TMC data to account for their travelers. But when employees book directly, use consumer platforms, or change itineraries outside approved channels, that picture is incomplete. And in a crisis, an incomplete roster isn't a data inconvenience. It's a material risk exposure.

The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) — referenced in ISO 31030 for good reason — only moves as fast as your data allows. The Orient step is where most programs stall. Real duty of care requires complete visibility. Not most of your travelers. All of them.

We wrote about what that looks like in practice, and what's at stake when it breaks down.
