Reports That Make Good Cents

One of our most important jobs as travel consultants is to help you aggressively manage your travel budget by collecting, organizing, reviewing and analyzing all the data generated by your bookings during the reservation process.

At the outset, we’ll work closely with you to identify your unique information and reporting requirements so that the data obtained can be utilized to measure performance against strategic goals and objectives, to support decision-making, and facilitate the development and implementation of new travel management strategies as necessary.

Do you know where your travelers are?

When trouble strikes, getting in touch with employees traveling throughout the world can be a real challenge. Remember what it was like in the days following the 9-11 terrorist attacks? Whether it be a man-made disaster, a natural event like Hurricane Katrina or a health scare like SARS or the Swine Flu, companies need to know where their travelers are at any given moment.

With Cornerstone’s Crisis Management Reporting, you can quickly see who is, was, or will be traveling to any destination and react accordingly. Trip details can be consolidated to provide a single, comprehensive view of global travel information.

As companies become increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their travel, many are committing to a program that endorses environmental responsibility and that encourages the use of such options as hybrid cars and green hotels.  Azumano’s iBank Reporting, a product of Cornerstone Information Systems, can help you get a handle on your CO2 emissions and provide you with the data you need to set responsible travel policy.

There are five main CO2 calculations in iBank Reporting:

Air CO2 Emissions
estimates the number of lbs or kgs emitted during a flight.

Alternate Car CO2 Emissions
estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by car instead of airplane.

Alternate Rail CO2 Emissions
estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by train instead of airplane.

Car Rental CO2 Emissions
estimates the carbon emissions generated if the traveler chose to travel by car rental and additional trip details are unknown.

Hotel Booking CO2 Emissions
estimates the carbon emissions generated by the traveler for each booked hotel night.
Carbon Calculators
Cornerstone works with several carbon reporting companies who provide their proprietary algorithms. These algorithms are then applied to your travel data to produce estimates of the carbon output from travelers' trips.

As different carbon reporting standards (e.g. DEFRA) are more widely recognized in different markets, iBank Carbon Reporting is designed to be able to incorporate different calculation methodologies to support local needs.

Cornerstone’s carbon reports can be used "as-is" or the data in iBank can be easily exported to the carbon calculation firm of your choice for more comprehensive analysis.
