Challenge: AskBio, a NC-based biotech firm, had a very complex travel policy and needed help enforcing their expense management tool.
Solution: Sequel Travel redesigned their policy and set up a new online booking tool which granted the firm’s travelers the autonomy that they wanted, while ensuring that travel expenses were used only on approved travel and routed to their expense management system.
Challenge: Ikon Science, a UK-based geoprediction software company, came to Sequel with a fragmented program and had no global mandate as they were experiencing expansive travel growth.
Solution: Sequel worked closely with their global travel partners to create a travel program of transparency and consolidation, standardizing data and reporting across all markets of their business.

Cotton, Inc. is a US-based research and marketing company with $1M+ spend in annual travel mostly used to visit manufacturing facilities in remote destinations in Asia.
Challenge: Health Catalyst enlisted Sequel’s help to implement a travel management program that immediately addressed their urgent issues of unused ticket credits.
Solution: Sequel worked closely with their procurement team to implement Deem for 1,400 employees to ensure all travel is captured. Sequel also provided access to Safe to Go, Prime Analytics and iBank, allowing the Health Catalyst HR team to know exactly where their travelers are.
Challenge: Achieving the Dream has stringent reporting requirements due to their reliance on federal grants. With travelers (typically contract consultants, not employees) not able to provide the tedious amount of information required at the time of booking, Achieving the Dream lacked access to key data.
Solution: Sequel created multiple reporting layers within Deem ensuring all data was reconciled in real time.
