Frequently Asked Questions About Corporate Travel Solutions

How can PanAf help us control our travel costs while maintaining appropriate service levels?

We employ multiple strategies to optimize travel spending without compromising necessary service: developing clear, enforceable travel policies that reflect your organizational culture; implementing appropriate approval workflows; negotiating preferred supplier agreements leveraging your total travel volume; utilizing fare management technology that identifies optimal booking windows; providing enhanced visibility into spending patterns through comprehensive analytics; and educating travelers on cost-effective choices.

We work with each client to find the right balance between cost control and traveler experience based on their specific business needs and organizational culture.

What technology platforms do you use for corporate travel management?

We maintain a technology-agnostic approach, selecting and implementing platforms based on each client's specific requirements rather than forcing clients into proprietary systems. We have experience with all major global distribution systems, online booking tools, expense management platforms, and duty of care technologies, allowing us to recommend and implement the solutions that best fit your needs. For many clients, we create an integrated technology ecosystem that connects booking tools, traveler tracking, expense management, and reporting platforms through API integrations. This approach provides a seamless experience for travelers and administrators while maintaining flexibility as needs evolve. Our technology recommendations consider factors including your existing enterprise systems, geographic footprint, traveler demographics, policy complexity, and reporting requirements to create the optimal solution for your specific situation.

How do you handle travel for organizations with operations in multiple countries?

What makes your MICE services different from standard event planning companies?

Our MICE services are distinguished by several key factors: our business-first approach that focuses on achieving specific organizational objectives rather than simply executing logistics; our global expertise that provides authentic local knowledge through our sister companies and partner network; our integrated travel management capabilities that ensure seamless coordination between event elements and participant travel; our technology integration that enhances both planning efficiency and participant experience; our sustainability focus that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing community benefits; and our measurement methodology that evaluates success against defined business outcomes. Additionally, our experience across corporate, association, and incentive events provides cross-sector insights that inform innovative approaches. While we excel at flawless logistics execution, our true differentiation lies in our strategic approach that aligns every event element with your specific business goals and organizational culture.

How do you ensure data security and privacy in your corporate travel programs?

We implement comprehensive data security and privacy measures throughout our corporate travel services: maintaining robust information security protocols certified to ISO 27001 standards; ensuring compliance with global privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant frameworks; implementing role-based access controls for all systems containing traveler data; utilizing encryption for data both in transit and at rest; conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing; providing clear data handling policies and training for all staff; and maintaining detailed data processing agreements with all suppliers and partners.

Client Testimonials

"Implementing PanAf's corporate travel solution transformed what had been a fragmented, frustrating process into a strategic program that delivers real business value. Their approach balanced the structure we needed with the flexibility our culture demands. The analytics they provide have given us unprecedented visibility into our travel spending, while their service team has dramatically improved our travelers' experience. Most importantly, they've proven to be true partners who understand our business objectives, not just travel vendors."

"When our annual leadership conference needed to pivot from Singapore to Istanbul with just six weeks' notice due to a security situation, PanAf's MICE team performed what seemed impossible. They not only secured appropriate venues and accommodations for 200 executives, but they preserved the essential cultural elements that make our event special. Their crisis management capabilities and global network made all the difference. What could have been a disaster became one of our most successful events."

"The executive travel desk that PanAf implemented for our C-suite has completely transformed how our leadership team experiences business travel. The personalized service, proactive problem-solving, and attention to detail have eliminated the friction points that previously plagued executive travel. During a recent natural disaster that affected three of our executives in different locations, their team coordinated alternative arrangements seamlessly while keeping our security team fully informed. This level of service allows our executives to focus entirely on business objectives rather than travel logistics."
