Your Telios team

One account manager. Five dedicated advisors.

Every company that signs with Telios works with the same small, named team — one dedicated account manager and five travel advisors who learn your travelers by name. Not a rotating call center: the same faces on every call, every trip. That's what makes the experience personal, close, and genuinely high-touch.

Your single point of contact for this account — coordinating the program end-to-end and looping in the right advisor the moment a traveler needs one. The same five advisors support every Telios client — so whoever picks up already knows your program.

The challenge

Visibility and compliance across a busy, multi-region program

Visibility

No consolidated view of spend

Travel spend was spread across a busy US–LATAM operation with no single, consolidated way to monitor it.

Compliance

Bookings drifting off-policy

The company needed every booking to stay consistently in line with its travel policy — enforced at the source, not just documented.

Scale

A multi-region operation

A global logistics business with travelers moving between the US and Latin America — a lot of moving parts to keep consistent.

ESG

Carbon reporting to feed

As an EU-headquartered logistics firm, the company has CSRD/ESG obligations that its travel data needs to support.

The Telios solution

A managed US–LATAM program on SAP Concur

Policy enforced at the point of booking

SAP Concur configured so the company's travel policy applies the moment a trip is booked — compliance built in, not chased after the fact.

Negotiated vendor agreements

Enterprise and National Car Rental cover 88% of rentals, United Airlines runs as a co-primary carrier, and four hotel properties sit on negotiated Telios rates across the company's most-used markets.

Run from the Miami hub

A multi-region program coordinated from Telios's Miami hub, close to the company's US–LATAM travel patterns.

Miami hub

A mature, well-managed program

Program spend grew a controlled +4.9% year-over-year to $421,934 — driven by higher international air traffic, not runaway cost. Air (69.5%), hotel (25.4%), and car (2.4%) all sit within or close to industry benchmarks, and 88% of car rentals plus several top hotel properties already run on negotiated Telios rates.
