GlobalStar Travel Management has partnered with meetings and events ERP platform Qondor, giving agencies and travel management companies in the network access to the platform, the network announced.
The platform “will help our TMC partners to centrally manage and control the many disparate components that make up a typical meeting request from start to end,” GlobalStar executive director of IT and supplier relations Julian Russell said in a statement. Norway-based Qondor combines the various aspects of the M&E management workflow—event request, budget proposals, contracts, registration, invoicing and reconciliation and reporting—into a single platform.
“Many agencies do not have a solid platform in which to build and grow their M&E business,” Qondor COO and cofounder Nils Olav Rislå said in a statement. “In our experience we see that M&E needs are frequently deprioritized in favor of corporate travel, often leading to inefficient processes and lack of overview.”
Qondor reports that it is helping to manage more than 30,000 events for more than 20,000 clients this year. The GlobalStar network operates in more than 2,500 locations across more than 55 countries.
