Leading provider of sustainable and smart urban mobility deploys Navan to deliver a seamless experience for its workforce
With over 150 years of industry innovation, Schindler has reshaped mobility in urban societies, growing from a local manufacturer into a global elevator, escalators and moving walkways business. To support its next phase of growth, the company has chosen to consolidate its travel operations – moving away from a fragmented online booking model. By deploying Navan, Schindler is now unifying its travel management across North America and Europe, initially covering Canada, the United States, France, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
"Because we were managing travel across multiple fragmented systems, a high percentage of bookings occurred outside of our official channels," says Luca Mancuso, Global Category Manager, Schindler. "We will finally have real-time visibility into our global travel spend, and we expect to reduce costs simply by providing a central tool, with competitive prices, that our employees actually want to use."
Key anticipated benefits include:
- Cost savings: An estimated 11% reduction in costs by eliminating hidden fees and unlocking access to Navan's comprehensive inventory.
- High adoption: An estimated 95% adoption rate by delivering a superior user experience.
"When travel bookings occur outside a company's preferred tool, it is a clear sign that legacy models are not working for employees," says Zahir Abdelouhab, SVP, Enterprise Sales, Navan. "We're excited to team up with Schindler and offer their employees a modern and intuitive platform, which we anticipate will lead to the travel policy compliance their finance team needs."
