About the Client
FairFly’s client is one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies and responsible for dozens of vital medicines used globally. Given this global footprint, scientists and researches travel the world to bring to fruition the company’s raison d’être to research and develop life-saving products.
Main Challenges
The company was after a tech based solution that could help save money on airfare and assist in creating a more unified approach to travel within the company. FairFly’s Faresaver was most appealing as it offered transparency into the company’s air spend, as well as reducing avoidable expenditure aligns well with the company’s overall ethos. Every penny saved could be reinvested into drug research.
The Outcome
During 2019, the biotech company saved over $1.1 million using FairFly’s Faresaver solution. The back-end technology required very little resource allocation from either the company or their TMC.
With the assurance that FairFly can ensure transparency and lowest fares available, employees of the company are now spending less time shopping for flights and more time focusing on research. If FairFly’s premium price assurance saved just five-minutes of time spent by the company’s staff shopping for the best fares, the biotech would have saved over 4000 hours in 2019.
“We are very happy with the savings we are seeing working with FairFly.” Said the firm’s Senior Travel Program Manager. “The account team and product are willing to listen to earnest feedback to make the end-solution better, and it’s the trust that we have that makes this a good, long-term relationship.”
