Corporate clients now have immediate access to greater and more flexible global reporting and data analysis capabilities than ever before, thanks to Hogg Robinson Group (HRG)’s comprehensive online reporting tool, HRG Reporting^TM. The enhanced ‘on demand’ functionality of HRG Reporting^TM can be seen this week as part of HRG’s Technology Showcase at the ACTE (Association of Corporate Travel Executives) Global Education Conference in Barcelona.

HRG Reporting^TM allows clients to produce online, customised reports at any time of the day or night. The tool offers access to post trip data by individual market or region* or on a global basis and currently includes:

• Four executive summary reports (overview, air, hotel and rail) - providing ‘instant results’ for the previous month or quarter and covering information such as spend breakdown, top destinations, top travellers and trip duration all on one page
• Six ‘dimensional’ reports (business summary, booking type, general ticket, top report, average report, trip duration report) - giving greater flexibility for users and allowing them to set specific parameters and manipulate travel data to obtain a personalised report.

The latest edition of HRG Reporting^TM gives clients greater access to data and scenario modelling facilities, offering thousands of reporting options immediately upon request and without intervention from HRG, resulting in increased productivity and cost effectiveness. It also offers an enhanced ‘drill down’ facility, viewing single transactions if required, to give an overview of a company’s travel trends.

• Additional multi-dimensional reporting including mileage and CO2 emissions
• Automatic scheduling, allowing clients to select a regular date for their individual reports to be run and delivered to them
• Enhanced ability to download reports directly into Adobe Acrobat and Excel.

Bill Brindle, Hogg Robinson Group’s Business Technology & Distribution Director, commented: “Accurate and timely reporting, combined with relevant, easy to understand data consolidation and analysis, is essential for today’s organisations, helping them to contain their travel costs and maximise the value of their expenditure.

“We are constantly watching the market, talking to our clients and evolving our solutions to meet their changing needs. For example, we have many environmentally conscious clients and the next phase of HRG Reporting^TM will help them monitor their activity and progress by providing mileage and CO2 emissions reporting.”

In addition to its standalone capabilities, HRG’s reporting solution can be supported by HRG’s dedicated data analysis team, which specialises in turning raw data into real opportunities and tangible benefits for individual clients.

Bill Brindle added: “In recent years there has been an evolution in the way that clients want reporting information presented: from the raw data, through to reports and commentary, and finally benchmarking. Our data analysis team has the specialist numerical, literacy and analytical skills needed to bring that data to life and provide short, medium or long-term views alongside trend forecasts on projected behaviour and expenditure.”
