Streamlining global travel for De Nora: A BCD success story
De Nora, a leading Italian multinational company, partnered with BCD Travel to streamline its global booking processes, enhancing operational efficiency and improving travel management.
Managing business travel for a rapidly growing multinational company like De Nora can be a complex task. The Italian leader in sustainable technologies was growing fast and needed an efficient, consolidated travel program to keep up with its global expansion.
Challenge: De Nora’s international expansion highlighted the need for a coordinated travel program. With offices in 10 countries and reliance on various local travel agencies, De Nora faced the challenge of ensuring consistent, efficient travel management across all locations.
Approach: Our strategy was both thorough and collaborative. Multinational Program Manager Amanda Tassin conducted an in-depth analysis of De Nora’s travel data and patterns, identifying key areas for improvement. By fostering communication between De Nora’s global travel coordinator, local contacts, and BCD offices, we created a unified strategy. Local BCD agents provided on-the-ground support, ensuring travelers adhered to the new consolidated policy.
