Fast-Growing Tech Company Scales Travel Program 10x
A rapidly scaling technology company partnered with Atlas to build a travel program that could grow from 50 to 500 travelers without adding headcount to their operations team.
The Challenge
The Challenge
This venture-backed technology company was doubling in size every twelve months, with employee headcount growing from fifty to five hundred in under three years. Their ad-hoc travel arrangements — a mix of personal credit cards, consumer booking sites, and manual expense reports — were creating chaos for their lean finance team and leaving the company with zero visibility into travel spend, no negotiating leverage with suppliers, and significant gaps in their duty of care obligations to a workforce traveling to client sites across North America and Europe.
The Solution
The Solution
Atlas designed a scalable travel program architecture that could grow with the company without requiring proportional increases in administrative resources. We implemented our self-service booking platform with policy guardrails that gave travelers the consumer-grade booking experience they expected while providing the finance team with automatic expense categorization, real-time spend dashboards, and monthly benchmark reports. Our account management team conducted quarterly business reviews to continuously optimize the program as the company's travel patterns evolved with growth.
