Taming the turbulence of Travel & Entertainment.
Managing business travel has never been more challenging. Just as prices on
everything from airfares to hotel stays rise unabated, pressure is also growing
to reduce spending. Plus, you’re probably feeling the wrath of your travelers—
they’re frustrated by frequent travel delays and reduced service, and question
why your travel booking tool isn’t as easy to use as the site they used to book
their last vacation.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. There’s a new approach that puts you back in
control of your travel budget, delights your travelers, and makes you a hero.
Welcome to the Rearden Personal Assistant™. We offer an intuitive, web-based
platform that helps your employees quickly find, buy, and expense the travel and
entertainment services they use every day.
Control travel costs before they control you.
Why do more than 2,000 businesses use Rearden Commerce technology? Because
they want to get a handle on travel and entertainment costs. The Rearden Personal
Assistant can help you too, giving you visibility into and control over spending.
And we’re not just talking air, car, and hotel. We can save you money on all the other
services your travelers use, whether it’s placing a dining reservation, or setting up a
conference call, from the point-of-purchase to the expense report.
Our employees are making smarter choices because they see all the options.Amanda Jackson, Procurement Manager, ConAgra Foods
What really sold me on the Rearden Commerce solution is that it makes doing the right thing so easy for employees, and makes doing the wrong thing very visible.Theresa Metty, former CPO, Motorola
Airfares are subject to change. Total fare includes taxes and fees.

Alerts users of spending policy violations.
Identifies discrepancies between booked and actual expenses, flags potential overbilling and employee fraud.
Conveniently tracks expenses billed to employees’ corporate cards, personal credit and debit cards
Expense reporting made simple.
The trip isn’t over until the expense report is approved. That’s why the Rearden
Personal Assistant makes creating and submitting expense reports quick and
easy for employees. It automatically enforces corporate policies, tracks employee
spending patterns and offers powerful reporting tools to identify new savings
opportunities. You’ll control exactly where the money’s going—and employees won’t
have to track down receipts and ‘guesstimate’ expenses.
Keep spend down, from trip to tip.
Imagine the expenses saved if your employees actually used the great rates you’ve
spent so much time negotiating. With the Rearden Personal Assistant, they’ll be
proactively guided to preferred providers and company-approved services every
time they book travel. Your best deals will be front and center. We’ll even suggest
more affordable alternatives—conferencing instead of air travel for example. We’ve
also negotiated discounts for you across our broad network of services including
dining, audio and web conferencing, car service, and more.
When it comes to Travel & Entertainment, you’re in charge.
Take control of all your T&E expenses. The Rearden Personal Assistant gives you
and your employees a one-stop shop that’s convenient, intuitive, and completely
in sync with your business’ needs. You’ll save time, hassles—and a lot of money
in the process. You don’t have to go far to get great deals. You just need
the Rearden Personal Assistant.
