FLUID, a digital solution tailored to simplify, streamline and optimize corporate travel. FLUID addresses the unique challenges of business travel – digitisation of travel spending, smarter ways to book, reduced decision times to save costs and a dedicated focus on b-leisure.
The Global Business Travel Association’s latest report projects an 18.3% growth in business travel in India for 2024. This surge, combined with evolving employee preferences, remote work trends, team outings, and the rise of b-leisure travel, significantly increases the complexities of managing corporate travel. Technology, particularly AI, plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges and ensuring a seamless shift. With a $28 billion opportunity, the travel industry stands poised to leverage generative AI to revolutionize customer experiences.
FLUID addresses these pain points by providing a one-stop digital solution that streamlines travel management, offering businesses a more efficient and cost-effective way to handle their travel needs. With advanced automation capabilities powered by its proprietary Gen-AI platform, FLUID streamlines the booking process, completing transactions in approximately 2.5 minutes after approval that would typically require around 19 emails and sometimes even 72 hours to coordinate in traditional business travel planning. The platform supports both employee and guest bookings, significantly accelerating approval times by 95% and ensuring compliance with corporate travel policies and budgets across domestic and international routes.
Commenting on the launch of FLUID and its mission to redefine corporate travel, Hari Ganapathy, Co-Founder of Pickyourtrail, said, “The growth of business travel is a clear indicator of an expanding economy. While the pandemic underscored the potential of remote work, it also highlighted the unique value of in-person meetings and events for building meaningful connections and fostering deeper team bonds. As corporations reimagine their travel strategies, there is a rising emphasis on enhancing customer experience, with b-leisure evolving from a trend to a norm.
He further added, “FLUID was developed to address these shifting behaviours, offering a cost-effective, technology-driven solution for corporate travel management. By simplifying the process and optimizing travel budgets, FLUID saves companies valuable time and resources, enabling them to focus on what matters most—their core business.”
With 50,000 trips so far, FLUID has demonstrated its effectiveness by automating 96% of bookings and ensuring 100% GST compliance for hassle-free invoicing. These efficiencies enable companies to redirect their focus to core operations while realizing substantial cost savings of up to 27%, making FLUID a game-changer in corporate travel management. Fluid is trusted by 30+ mid-tier and large corporates across SaaS, manufacturing and Pharma.
