Egencia vs. Sabre TripCase

Overall, Egencia is a good tool for my employees to use when I (or my work partner) aren't available to make the reservations. They can easily access their account and the charges will go on the corporate credit card. This makes it all around easy for the traveling employees.

It's a reliable source of updates when there are flight delays, gate changes, or other headaches you may experience on the road. It's also convenient that you can navigate to your hotel right from the app when you arrive at your destination. From what I have recently learned, it is now even available on Apple Watch, which I know our techies love.TripCase helped even our most techonologically-challenged employees evolve into more confident, self-sufficient travelers

• Egencia is an all-in-one booking tool so you can keep everything in once place.
• Egencia works with SAML, so it's easy for users to get set up and logged in.
• Egencia helps keep things in order by preventing bookings without the approval of managers. This can help keep costs low as well.

• It gathers all of the essential details of a trip and presents it in a simple and efficient view. Our users particularly like that they can each choose in what own order they prefer that data to appear.
• It conveniently allows travelers to share their itineraries with others.

• Customer service was awful. It was a running joke that when we had to call customer service for something (frequent), it was a crap-shoot whether we were going to get someone that knew what they were doing.
• The website was not intuitive and sometimes made it difficult to find the flights we wanted. Most of the admins resorted to looking for flights on other services and then searching for that flight specifically in Egencia.

• The iOS app is a little on the slow side when you open it up
• Manual accommodation input isn't always the best (sometimes doesn't find hotels)

It is just so simple to use.

I have not been involved with any product support or troubleshooting; however we had an issue where the app or website were down for some time and they were able to resolve the issue and have it back up and running pretty fast so i would say that overall support is pretty good!

There should be a 24-hour toll-free number to call for support.

My training was over the phone with some trial and error.

I used another solution which required pending for a consultant to propose options and then waiting for the chosen option to be booked. Contrary to that, in Egencia I searched for the options myself, had the results after short waiting time and was able to finalize the booking without waiting for someone else's action.

• More efficient booking - save time.
• We can specify when additional approval needs to take place based on perimeters that we set (price, class, etc) - save money!
• All electronic - bookings all online so have easy access to all staff trips.

• It's difficult to relate impact on business objectives
