Case study · Food Ingredients

A new US entity that was traveling from day one.

A Latin American food-ingredients group opening in the US had no TMC and no corporate card. Telios built the travel program from scratch on SAP Concur — and it nearly doubled within a year.

El desafío

A brand-new US entity, starting from scratch

Platform

No centralized booking

As their first-ever corporate travel agency, Telios inherited trips scattered across emails, calls, and spreadsheets — nothing consolidated.

Finance

No corporate credit card

The newly launched US entity had no corporate card to cover travel — a hard blocker to booking anything on day one.

Reportes

Complex expense reporting

Finance needed simpler reporting that fit their existing processes, with real-time visibility into who spent what.

Cumplimiento

Manual, low-visibility process

No policy enforcement at booking and little vendor leverage — efficiency and control had to be built in from the start.

Lo que hizo Telios

A travel program built from zero on SAP Concur

Gestión de cuenta dedicada

A named account team owning the program end-to-end for ~10 monthly travelers, with policy enforced in Concur and a direct line for every booking — no dispersed emails or approvals.

Policynamed team~10 travelers

A travel fund so they could start on day one

With no corporate card yet, Telios designed a dedicated travel-fund scheme that covered flights and hotels from the first booking — so the program didn't wait on the entity's finance setup.

Live from day one

Automated hotel payment

Conferma virtual cards pay the hotel directly at checkout — no personal cards, no per-trip reimbursements.

Reporting built to fit

A weekly air fare-class report and a biweekly detailed expense report, broken down by traveler, destination, and category.

Concur + Amadeus, policy built in

SAP Concur connected to Amadeus with the travel policy pre-loaded, so compliance applies at the moment of booking.

Acerca de esta colaboración

A corporate travel program from scratch — SAP Concur connected to Amadeus with the travel policy built in, dedicated account management, automated hotel payment via Conferma, and custom weekly and biweekly reporting — for a Latin American food-ingredients group's new US entity.

Telios designed a dedicated travel-fund scheme that covered flights and hotels from the first booking, so the program went live on day one without waiting on the entity's finance setup.

Across 14 months and 70 support tickets, a 22-minute average first response and 2-hour resolution. The program nearly doubled — H1 of Year 2 ($224K) already surpassed all of Year 1 ($143K), with ~3× airline volume growth and about $6,000 a year in projected hotel savings.
