T&E Expense Data Support Complete and accurate travel data is an essential component of effective communication with senior management. Travel management strategies, no matter how well reasoned, must be supported by hard data and reliable financial models in order to gain senior and financial management buy-in. Diners Club provides comprehensive spending data and management reporting capabilities that can make a real difference in your communications approach and success. Here are just a few of the many reports readily available to you through Global Vision that will help you illustrate your value message to senior management: Trending Analysis Report The Trending Analysis Report provides an overview of charge activity (by amount and type) over a specific time period. With it, you can easily identify trends in total spending or for specific charge categories on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Summary Inquiry Report The Summary Inquiry Report enables you to view, by charge type, a variety of statistics comparing Diners Club charges for the current and past year. Each report provides information by charge type, vendor name/chain for each month present in your system records, dependent on the amount of billing information you choose to store. The report can be requested for all Accounts at any level in your Account Structure. Core Supplier Report The Core Supplier Report is a standard Transaction data report that analyzes air, car rental and hotel charge types, as well as air travel agency spend. It displays total spending in each category selected, and percentage of total spend by supplier. Both Global Vision and our paper based MIS Reports offer many other reports that produce information that can be especially illuminating to senior management. Global Vision reports can prove particularly valuable, since you can use the software to create custom reports that zero in on the T&E issues that are most important to your organization - such as cash advances, airline spending, exceptions to policy, delinquency - and easily export your findings into a number of different formats. We'll supplement this overview with much more information in the weeks and months to come.
