Calibrate Travel Technology & Analytics was borne out of the COVID-19 global pandemic.  The result of the life-altering event leaving many unemployed and the world of business & leisure travel changed as we know it.

​

The sheer determination of not having to see so many people unemployed, allowed Lloyd Barkhuizen the founder of Calibrate to reinvent the way we think about travel and the importance of having sound relationships with the travel industry.

​

Many travelers were left stranded in destination and found it very challenging having to deal with online providers, especially in the time of crisis.

​

Calibrate was created with the sole purpose of ensuring that the most important asset of any organization was taken care of -  THEIR PEOPLE.

​

Human Capital far outweighs the importance of any profit in an organization, and Calibrate used this opportunity to develop a channel for travelers to use if they were buying outside of their structured corporate travel program.

​

A channel that gives both the traveler and organization the comfort they need.  A sense of comfort in that there was            Duty of Care,  and that travellers would only need to speak to one travel partner and not multiple.

​

Research shows that up to as much as 10% of a corporate travel program is lost to program leakage.  In other words, using multiple online sites to procure travel and then submitting an expense claim.

​

As you can imagine the risks far outweigh the benefits, Duty of Care is completely lost, difficult, or impossible to obtain a refund, dilution of negotiated corporate agreements, and the list goes on.

​

Technology developed through Calibrate ensures that we are able to “catch” this spend, our technology allows for      consumer-based content with direct connect's into multiple suppliers, bypassing excessive travel distribution costs.  Reporting allows organizations to have insight into what spend is leaving the program and comfort that there will be some sort of ROI due to the unique content choice.

​

Calibrate Travel Technology & Analytics is the new normal and we are here to support our clients through their travel evolution.
