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

    Overall, Egencia is a good tool for my employees to use when I (or my work partner) aren't available to make the reservations. They can easily access their account and the charges will go on the corporate credit card. This makes it all around easy for the traveling employees.

    • Egencia is an all-in-one booking tool so you can keep everything in once place.
    • Egencia works with SAML, so it's easy for users to get set up and logged in.
    • Egencia helps keep things in order by preventing bookings without the approval of managers. This can help keep costs low as well.

    Cons
    DATABASICS
    • 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.

    • Customer service was awful. It was a running joke that when we had to call customer service for something (frequent), it was a crap-shoot whether we were going to get someone that knew what they were doing.
    • The website was not intuitive and sometimes made it difficult to find the flights we wanted. Most of the admins resorted to looking for flights on other services and then searching for that flight specifically in Egencia.

    When I had a problem with cancelled and rescheduled flight Egencia team was not helpful at all. They claimed that in their system the flight is still happening hence they will not advise on anything else. I had to spend a lot of time calling the airline to clarify the details and to find out when my flight is happening in the end.

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

    It's not even close! Axios was much more difficult to navigate than Egencia. In my opinion, Egencia more closely mirrors travel booking systems we all use outside of work, which makes training much easier for new users. The ability to automatically download calendar invites, share itineraries, and download PDF receipts is such a big help

    • More efficient booking - save time.
    • We can specify when additional approval needs to take place based on perimeters that we set (price, class, etc) - save money!
    • All electronic - bookings all online so have easy access to all staff trips.
