Gant travel turbo charges onboarding with '15-minute implementation' process.

BLOOMINGTON, IN / ACCESSWIRE / June 25, 2024 / Gant Travel, a leader in the travel management industry, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative "15-minute implementation" process, transforming the client onboarding experience. This breakthrough is the result of years of experience, during which Gant onboarded an average of 400 accounts annually, and will now provide a path for new clients to use its travel management platform within 15 minutes of completing the required information in an online booking tool.

Historically, client onboarding at most travel management companies required numerous hours of detailed work to populate critical travel program information across a variety of disconnected systems. At Gant, a dedicated team of implementation specialists managed this process with meticulous attention to detail. The necessity to automate these manual tasks was obvious to even the most casual of observers. Gant's innovation has freed its implementation specialists from mundane tasks, allowing them to provide more valuable services during the onboarding process, such as sharing best practices and aligning travel policy with company culture. This enables Gant to configure the complex systems of a modern travel program to drive desired results for new clients almost instantaneously, improving the customer experience and reducing the lag time for the client to achieve its desired return on investment on a managed travel program.

By leveraging experience from thousands of client implementations, Gant Travel's developers have engineered a state-of-the-art solution using advanced scripting and AI to streamline what is normally a complex process. This technology seamlessly integrates travel policy and vendor data into the quality control system, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention and cutting labor costs by more than 80%. As a result, from the time a new customer finishes entering information into the online booking tool of choice, all technology systems are updated, allowing new accounts to book travel within 15 minutes. Using its CRM as the central repository of truth combined with enhanced fraud detection automation, Gant Travel has improved not only the efficiency and customer experience of the implementation process but also significantly increased security and fraud detection.

Gant Travel's "15-minute implementation" model integrates with industry online booking tools, including two designed by Gant. After an account passes the AI-powered fraud detection process, the new implementation process ensures that clients using Gant's TripCircuit, an online booking tool specifically designed for the needs of small to medium-sized enterprises, and GantTogether, a meeting management tool that applies meeting travel policy at the attendee level, have a seamless, rapid, and hassle-free implementation experience. This ensures an organization's travelers can quickly begin harnessing the benefits of a managed travel program.

"This achievement underscores Gant's overarching mission: to become the best travel management company on the planet for the travel champion, the traveler, and the accounting team," said Donna Schmidt, Gant Travel's Director of Travel Solutions and Integrations. "We are thrilled to offer this groundbreaking solution to our clients and look forward to the enhanced efficiency and satisfaction it will bring."

Note: Gant is a carbon-conscious company, and this innovation does not actually use an internal combustion engine or a physical turbocharger. If it did, Gant would use some sort of bio-friendly fuel for it.

Gant Travel Management is an 80 year old travel management company that strives to provide seamless, simple trips to business travelers.

In the past, Gant was using various tools to support their customers, but Gant leaders realized they should switch to one comprehensive platform rather than piecing together different systems. By switching to SAP Concur Solutions, including Concur Compleat and Concur Triplink, Gant was able to deepen their knowledge to more fully support their business travelers.

It's not about going rogue or letting people do whatever they want. It's about knowing where people are, being able to support them when they need help, and also being able to capture spend. - Patrick Linnihan, President and CEO, Gant Travel Management

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.

Moscow Oblast - Features

Moscow Oblast is located in the central part of the East European Plain, in the basin of the rivers of Volga, Oka, Klyazma, Moskva. The region stretches from north to south for 310 km, from west to east - 340 km. It was named after the city of Moscow, which however is not part of the region. Part of the administrative authorities of the region is located in Krasnogorsk.

On the territory of the Moscow region, there are 77 cities and towns, 19 of them have a population of more than 100 thousand people. The largest cities are Balashikha (518,300), Podolsk (309,600), Mytishchi (262,700), Khimky (256,300), Korolyov (225,300), Lubertsy (209,600), Krasnogorsk (174,900), Elektrostal (149,000), Odintsovo (138,900), Kolomna (136,800), Domodedovo (136,100).

The region is in second place in terms of industrial production among the regions of Russia (after Moscow).

The leading industries are food processing, engineering, chemical, metallurgy, construction. Moscow oblast has one of the largest in Russia scientific and technological complexes. Handicrafts are well developed (Gzhel ceramics, Zhostov trays, Fedoskino lacquered miniatures, toy-making).

Moscow railway hub is the largest in Russia (11 radial directions, 2,700 km of railways, the density of railways is the highest in Russia). There are two large international airports - Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. Vnukovo airport is used for the flights within the country.

• churches and monasteries-museums (the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, Joseph-Volokolamsk monastery, Pokrovsky Khotkov monastery, Savvino Storozhevsky monastery, Nikolo Ugresha monastery).
