Why Fortune 500 Travel Programs Choose Gem Worldwide
Every year, thousands of ground transportation companies operate in the United States. Most are regional: a limousine service in Boston, a car service in Chicago, a driver network in Los Angeles. Yet Fortune 100 travel programs consolidate their ground transportation under a single supplier. That supplier is often Gem Worldwide.
This isn't about being the largest. It's about solving a specific problem: how to standardize, integrate, and streamline ground transportation across a global travel program.
The Ground Transportation Problem
A Fortune 500 travel manager oversees 5,000+ employee trips annually across 50+ cities. Without consolidation, this means:
30+ regional operators with different booking systems, service standards, and invoicing formats
Expense reconciliation across multiple vendors, multiple billing cycles, multiple reporting formats
Integration gaps where ground transportation doesn't flow into Concur, doesn't show up in trip itineraries, and doesn't speak the language of corporate expense systems
Quality inconsistency where a sedan in Chicago is a different class of vehicle than a sedan in New York
Cost opacity because you're paying 30 different rates without visibility into volume leverage
This operational overhead is expensive. It creates risk. It wastes procurement time.
How Gem Solves This
One Supplier, One Standard, Worldwide
Gem operates as the single point of contact for ground transportation consolidation. In NJ, NY, and PA, we operate our own fleet of Lincoln, Volvo, Mercedes, and Ford vehicles. Across 200+ additional cities globally, we maintain a vetted affiliate operator network—companies we've audited and held accountable to Gem's service standard.
Every vehicle in the Gem network meets the same specifications. Every driver completes the same training. Every booking flows into the same system.
Concur, Sabre, and Groundspan Integration
Gem integrates natively with the TMC and OBT platforms travel managers already use. A booking in Concur automatically creates a Gem reservation. An expense report includes the Gem transportation cost alongside flights and hotels. No manual invoice matching. No data entry duplication.
On-Site Dispatch for Events
For multi-vehicle corporate events, roadshows, and conferences, Gem deploys an on-site dispatcher. This person manages vehicle coordination in real time, handles changes as events unfold, and ensures seamless flow. This isn't phone-based logistics—it's on-the-ground accountability.
Professional Greeter Service
For executive arrivals and VIP passengers, our professional greeter meets guests at baggage claim with a printed greeting. This is standard for international arrivals, Fortune 100 clients, and unaccompanied minors.
Electronic Receipts and Expense Automation
Every trip generates an electronic receipt that flows directly into corporate expense systems: Concur Expense, SAP, Coupa, etc. Travel managers stop chasing paper. Drivers stop handing out receipts.
Cost Leverage Through Volume
By consolidating ground transportation under one supplier, travel programs achieve volume pricing across regions. Gem's affiliate network eliminates middleman markup. The result: lower cost per mile than juggling 30 regional operators.
Why Travel Managers Renew
Travel managers choose Gem for consolidation. They renew Gem because:
Efficiency gains are real. One contract, one invoice, one reporting system.
Integration saves time. Reservations flow automatically into Concur; no manual entry.
Service consistency reduces exceptions. Drivers are trained to the same standard everywhere.
Cost savings from volume pricing and elimination of overhead.
Accountability. A single point of contact for quality, not a dozen regional operators with inconsistent standards.
