A KDS Case Study
Deloitte France, a professional services firm with 6,300 associates across multiple regional offices, relied on an in‑house Carlson Wagonlit Travel agency and electronic forms for business travel. Frequent schedule changes led to high-cost flexible fares, heavy manual processing and low adoption of the booking form — prompting a push to simplify bookings, make travellers accountable and cut agency costs.
After a competitive tender Deloitte implemented KDS, a turnkey online booking solution selected for its built‑in online help to guide first‑time users. The self‑service platform automated booking workflows, reduced offline/manual handling, encouraged fare choices aligned to schedule reliability and delivered measurable outcomes: streamlined travel management, lower agency costs and improved control of travel-related carbon emissions.
