Navigating travel in manufacturing isn’t easy

ct-icon-after-hours-watermelon

No reliable support

When factory inspections, supplier meetings, and last-minute facility visits require quick changes, the lack of expert assistance leads to costly delays and disruptions in production schedules.

Uncontrolled spending

With strict safety and import/export regulations, risk escalates fast when compliance is spread across teams and locations. Without systems to track it all? It’s a mess waiting to happen.
Everything you need to know

No control and reports don’t add up

Tracking travel expenses across departments and funding sources quickly turns into a reporting nightmare without the right systems to keep things accurate and aligned.

Booking takes too long

When critical meetings or site visits change at the last minute, your team gets pulled from core operations. That means wasted time, lost focus, and slowing down work that can’t wait.

Solving the challenges that hold you back

We’ve heard it all before. Here’s how we tackle your biggest travel challenges with streamlined solutions, no compromises.
  • How is business travel management for manufacturing companies different from other industries?

    Canadian manufacturers are often stuck dealing with cost pressures, weather disruptions, travel policy gaps, and border or international travel regulation hurdles. We’ll get your team to where they need to be, quickly and safely, even when issues arise during travel.
     

  • What types of manufacturing businesses benefit most from managed corporate travel?

    Across Canada, companies dealing in chemicals, food and beverages, automotive/aerospace, medical devices, and Cleantech solutions can all benefit from easier, more cost-effective business travel for manufacturing purposes.

  • Is there support for international travel and complex manufacturing itineraries?

    Yes, your dedicated Customer Success Manager will provide you with up-to-date information regarding your travel itineraries, including any changes that may occur during longer, international trips.

    Booking can also easily be done over the phone or through email, depending on what you’d prefer.

    Plus, you can easily access support anytime through Melon, so you and your team will never be stuck in a bind somewhere away from home.

    We’ve got your back, no matter where you are, or what time it is.
     

  • What tools or platforms do travellers and travel managers use to book and manage trips?

    You’ll use our innovative travel software called Melon. It lets you book flights, hotels, and rental vehicles all from a single place.

    It’s super intuitive, and you can use Melon on your phone, tablet, computer - or all of the above! Your account carries over your dashboard to any device that’s convenient to navigate.

    Melon is designed for ease-of-use, efficiency, and most importantly, guaranteed compliant travel solutions for manufacturing companies.

    You read that right, no more compliance troubles!
     

  • How does centralized booking improve travel management for manufacturing companies?

    Site inspections, repair techs, trainers or Q/A agents, there are plenty of ways that corporate travel management is useful for manufacturing companies.

    Not only will you save time, but you’ll save money too! Centralized booking makes it a million times easier to keep track of expenses and travel details when you’ve got lots of people travelling at any given time.

    Unless you really like headaches, but we’re guessing you don’t.
     

  • Does Corporate Traveler offer 24/7 support for travelers in different time zones?

    You know it!

    We’re here 24/7/365 for all our clients, regardless of where your home base or desired destination may be.

    We’ll never leave you stranded or struggling to find a solution. As long as you’ve got a device with you to reach us, we’ve got your back.

  • How does Corporate Traveller track and support travellers during disruptions or emergencies?

    Your dedicated Travel Manager will be following each of your travellers on their path to and from each destination, including keeping an eye on nasty headaches like weather disruptions, flight delays (and their impacted connections), or worse, flight cancellations.

    They’ll find you alternative arrangements, emergency hotels, replacement rental cars - whatever you need to overcome unexpected travel obstacles.

    And don’t worry, they’ll keep you in the loop the whole time, so you know exactly what’s going on every step of the way.
     

  • How does Corporate Traveller support travel policy creation and compliance?

    A Travel Manager will be happy to help you write and customize a travel policy that’s the perfect fit for your business.

    Melon will keep track of all your preferred suppliers, and when you try to book something that’s off-policy, it’ll instantly flag you.

    This way, you always stay in control without needing to worry about finding other compliance travel solutions for your manufacturing business.

    Different companies need different policies. Why not let an expert help you design one that’s customized to your unique needs?
