From Project-Based Execution to Strategic Transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wow \u2013 who would have thought. 20 years ago, we started with a simple idea: companies and Travel Management Companies need partners who don’t just understand their processes, but bring them to life. Today, two decades later, we have successfully implemented hundreds of transformation projects together with our clients \u2013 and the journey is far from over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started: Project Management for TMCs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It began in 2006 with a framework for projects: 6\u201318 months, clearly defined, measurably successful. Our teams took on project management responsibilities for the major Travel Management Companies \u2013 implementing new clients, rolling out innovative applications, developing new products. Over the years, our responsibilities grew: we built teams that handled process automation, optimized workflows, and significantly increased efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shift: From Suppliers to Client Partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But over the years, the market changed \u2013 and so did we. More and more companies wanted to shape their travel management projects themselves and requested TravelBrain as a strategic partner to support them. The demand shifted from Travel Management Companies to the companies themselves and their Travel Managers. This was a turning point for TravelBrain: we became less service providers, more consultants. Less executors, more architects of change in travel management processes and the tools deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding Themes: From Individual Processes to Holistic Transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the spectrum of our expertise broadened. Initially, online booking and profile management were the focus. Over time, many more exciting topics were added: travel policies, travel planning, Travel Risk Management, expense management. Later came sustainability and reporting, as well as data consolidation \u2013 topics that are now central to responsible travel policies and valid decision-making. Today we work on the bigger picture \u2013 the end-to-end design of travel processes. These integrated solutions are now the core of our consulting and the key to sustainable cost savings, better compliance, and measurable impact for our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People Who Made It Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Behind every project are people. Over 20 years, numerous talents and personalities have contributed to TravelBrain’s success. Particularly noteworthy are Lenny Hornsby, Erci Aydin, Daniel Grenacher, Michele Aggiato, Robert Neumann and Mike Boyle, Stefan Otter and Alexandre Krasnosselski \u2013 they have significantly shaped TravelBrain’s DNA and some still do today. But Michael Zwickl and Christian Els\u00e4sser with ExpenseBrain (now travexis), as well as Jens Vongehr and Sebastian von Stein, also wrote decisive chapters in our history during their time. A large network of experts has been the key to success over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Next Chapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What we’ve learned in 20 years: The best travel management and travel technology projects emerge through dialogue with clients. They begin with understanding a company’s specific challenges and don’t end at “go live”; but with real change and newly optimized processes. While we look back on two successful and exciting decades, we’re already looking forward again \u2013 to new technologies, especially the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in travel management. AI will fundamentally change booking processes, expense reporting, cost optimization, and risk analyses. We will support our clients in shaping this transformation responsibly, leveraging the benefits and avoiding the pitfalls. At the same time, proven topics remain central: Travel Risk Management, sustainability, and the question of how intelligent data consolidation and handling of this data leads to better business decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what was planned as 18 \u2013 24 months has now become 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our clients, partners, and our team for 20 years of trust, collaboration, and passion for excellent consulting and process optimization in travel management.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
