Ability to sync with many other systems and flexible systems. I do not recommend for areas with a bad internet connection.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

  • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
  • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

Cons
  • Allow money returns from an advance to be reflected in the advance balance. If an employee settles an advance by returning cash, it does not reflect that in the system.

  • Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
  • Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

It costs less. Flexible employees allow you to customize the system to fit your requirements.

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

  • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
  • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
