Abstract

A method and system for travel savings assessment is disclosed. The invention analyzes the total travel spend of an entity with many members, employees, or other personnel who incur travel costs using various metrics, estimates the savings that may be achieved by known or new entities, calculates and produces periodic reports that track an entity's progress towards obtaining the estimated savings, and can also estimate the potential savings of an entity.
