What is TMC? Travel Management Company
A Travel Management Company (TMC) is an agency that manages business travel for corporate clients, combining booking, policy enforcement, duty of care and spend reporting.
TMCs negotiate corporate fares and hotel rates, provide online booking tools for employees, offer human agents for complex trips, and report spend back to the client.
Technology requirements
Corporate travel adds requirements that leisure platforms rarely face: travel policy rules, approval workflows, negotiated fares tied to a company, traveller profiles, and integration with expense and HR systems. A B2B travel platform serving TMCs needs a strong account and permission model as a foundation.
