Cost Management Solutions

We will save your organization time, money and resources without having to compromise on standards of service. We have a proven history of successfully negotiating client specific discounts (i.e., air, hotel and car) based on destination and volume. Recent industry changes have helped to reduce the threshold at which many suppliers will begin negotiating discount rates. We specialize in helping our clients achieve ongoing cost control and innovative solutions that benefit the bottom line.

Cost Savings Programs:

1. CTA will apply our consulting and purchasing expertise to develop the programs, policies and procedures that will maximize your savings.
2. CTA knows that an effective travel policy is one of the best ways to reduce costs. We will work with you to develop a policy that clearly articulates your company's travel goals and consult as changes are required.
3. CTA will register our corporate clients into the many applicable vendor "soft dollar" programs currently available in the marketplace. These programs provide "back end" cost savings for corporate clients
4. CTA is tough when it comes to negotiating on behalf of our clients. Our knowledge of vendor discount thresholds allow us to effectively negotiate for "front end" discounts that can provide significant cost saving to your organization.
5. CTA will assist in the selection of the appropriate payment system for your organization. While often overlooked, the right choice can provide benefits ranging from longer float times to simplified accounting and reconciliation practices.

Hotels:

1. CTA provides unsurpassed savings and special services on thousands of hotel properties around the globe. We subscribe to two worldwide hotel discount programs: ABC Corporate Services and Thor Inc. These companies historically provide the deepest discounts (corporate and preferred rates) and block room space at more properties worldwide than any other programs.
2. CTA, unlike many travel providers will negotiate property specific "net rates" for our clients. These rates are striped of all commission and are the lowest rates that hotels provide.

Cars:

1. The major car rental companies provide discounts based on the dollar volume spent by a corporate client. CTA aggressively monitors all contracts to insure that our clients will always receive the best available rates.
