How Storyblok saves time and money by creating a clear structure for travel booking
Storyblok: a remote company ready to revolutionize content management with their modern CMS
Facing the difficulties of an unstructured travel booking process
- No established booking process: Travelers used to book their business trips individually and directly on differing websites. Storyblok’s travel and finance managers were in charge of the reimbursement process as well as checking manually whether the deals that travelers had booked matched with the company’s current budget.
- Overload instead of efficiency: More travelers led to more trips and therefore more work for Storyblok’s travel management: in the end, managing, reviewing and reimbursing business travel expenses for an entire team got too time-consuming.
- Missing company travel policy: Self-booking doesn’t have to be a red flag at all. But besides employees booking their own business trips, Storyblok didn’t have any guidelines on payment methods, spending limits or even approval processes. This lack of a concrete travel policy made the entire travel management process complicated and lengthy.
TravelPerk: a dynamic, customisable and time-saving travel management tool for future-proof companies
The best thing about TravelPerk is that it saves time, while making sure you can control the budget and give people freedom. It’s a 21st century tool. I used to work with agencies, and would rather forget those experiences. They’re obsolete and old-fashioned. I love the modern approach TravelPerk takes. It’s good for everyone.Michal Zadrobilek & Daniela Merizalde Usuga

Fully customisable to specific destinations and partnerships
- With TravelPerk, Storyblok can use one single tool for two totally different travel markets. For this purpose, they set up two separate company profiles: one for the European market and one for the US. This makes it way easier to automatically consider the differing, market-specific requirements within the booking process.
- Especially in the US, many hotels offer loyalty programs. By collecting fidelity points, frequent travelers benefit from discounted conditions, such as special prices, room upgrades or free goodies. By integrating these benefit programs, TravelPerk encourages travelers to stay where they feel most comfortable.
- As an established travel management company, TravelPerk itself has exclusive partnerships with versatile travel providers like hotel chains and airlines.
