Staying Competitive: AI and the Productivity Imperative for TMCs

Travel management companies (TMCs) operate in a complex and demanding environment where operational efficiency plays a critical role. Many organizations manage a combination of legacy systems, manual processes, and high service expectations, all while navigating tight margins. These challenges
can absorb time and resources that could otherwise be directed toward innovation, service enhancement, or client engagement. As pressures continue to build across the industry, finding ways to improve efficiency without compromising service has become an increasingly important part of staying
competitive.

Oversee was built specifically to address this reality. Its core mission is simple but critical: to empower TMCs unlock meaningful savings and operational efficiency, so those gains can be reinvested into better service, stronger relationships, and more competitive offerings. For more than 11 years, the company has served TMCs and travel buyers as a behind-the-scenes operational partner. It embeds directly into existing workflows and technology stacks, enabling savings and automating workflows without disrupting travelers or agents.

At the center of its platform is a customer-centric mandate to help TMCs deliver more value to travel buyers – without changing how they travel. Oversee’s AI-based air and hotel reshop technology continuously monitors bookings after purchase, identifying opportunities to secure lower prices without altering itineraries or creating friction. Often referred to as travel price assurance, this capability remains a primary reason companies turn to Oversee.

Crucially, reshop does not operate in isolation. It is supported by a real-time analytics suite that audits
negotiated rates, sourcing performance, and contract utilization. By comparing agreed pricing against actual booking behavior, Oversee helps TMCs and travel buyers ensure that negotiated programs deliver measurable value in practice.

The impact of this approach is illustrated by Oversee’s work with World Travel Tulsa. After deploying air and hotel reshop technology across its entire customer portfolio, the TMC generated significant savings within only a few months. Across thousands of transactions, those incremental gains translated into financial relief for travel buyers without adding operational burden or friction for travelers. The results reinforced a core principle of Oversee’s philosophy: savings and service do not have to be trade-offs.
