AirPlus International, in Partnership with Santander Group, BNP Paribas, UBS and Nordea Modernize the Business Travel Market with NextGen®: The Global Card Network
NEU-ISENBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AirPlus International, a leading international provider of business travel expense analysis and payment solutions, now partners with worldwide leading financial institutions Santander, BNP Paribas, UBS and Nordea to provide companies in the international arena with the optimal solution to their worldwide travel cost management challenges.
Beginning Summer 2011, the partnership’s NextGen® system will deliver an all-in-one tool for professional business travel management that integrates the market’s leading corporate cards, lodge cards and management information system (MIS) solutions. Many years of experience and extensive know-how have been combined to tailor NextGen® to fulfill global companies’ diverse market and product requirements.
NextGen® revolutionizes professional travel management globally. When settling business travel costs across international borders, companies no longer have to navigate a myriad of locally provided tools that might fail to meet the needs of their modern global travel management.
This is where NextGen®, introduced jointly by the international financial specialists, comes into play. With one central contract, corporate customers receive a single solution to meet their professional business travel management needs around the globe. The NextGen® partners guarantee consistent products and quality service for all of a customer’s international branches. And yet another benefit is a single point of contact for implementation, support and service; customers enjoy the stability of dealing with only one dedicated contact.
“The difference is night and day. When I speak to a global customer today about the NextGen® Network, I can offer a single source of purchase, implementation and account management without sacrificing the specific needs of the customer in Spain, for example, or the UK. Further, the customer pleases his/ her internal customers with a project no longer requiring a never-ending set of individual supplier negotiations. And the plug-and-play global data solution is the icing on the cake.” – Volker Huber, Head of Global Sales, AirPlus International.
