If you’re considering restructuring your travel management configuration, now is the perfect time to explore opportunities Fox can offer, including a dedicated account agent service model.
This configuration has many names, including onsite, rent-a-plate, corporate travel desk, implant, dedicated resource team…and the list goes on.
Whatever you call it, we can customize the configuration that offers you the control needed to support your travelers. From proprietary technology to extensive, hands-on training, Fox is here to partner with you. We are here to support you.
Fox has significant experience supporting Dedicated Account Agent (or in-house) travel departments, resulting in a high level of efficiency and quality. Fox provides customers direct access to our Global Distribution System and beneficial third-party software to optimize your on-site agents’ efficiency and ensure they have full access to discounts, unused tickets, proprietary Fox tools and more.
WHAT IS A DEDICATED ACCOUNT AGENT SERVICE MODEL?
A dedicated account agent service model is one trend returning to travel management. Not to be confused with a designated team, this type of travel management program is built using an on-site or rent-a-plate configuration.
Using this service model is popular because it offers a personalized service approach, and it can be customized using your associate to leverage Fox’s booking system.
Equally, you can choose to have a dedicated Fox associate to work exclusively with your travelers.
It’s an excellent option for companies seeking personalized support, ultimate control, or simply organizations that are seeking a ‘high touch’ travel management policy.
