How Travel SaaS Ensured 100% Compliance for a Renewable Energy Company’s Field Workforce

Industry: Renewable Energy (Wind & Solar Power)

Client: Leading Renewable Energy Firm

Scale: 3,500+ Field Engineers | 50+ Project Sites

The Challenge: Compliance Risks in Travel Management

Operating in remote and high-risk project locations, the company struggled with managing travel for its large field workforce. Key issues included:

  • Policy Violations: Employees often booked travel outside approved vendor lists, breaching internal policies.
  • Unverified Ground Transport: Engineers used local, unauthorized vehicles, raising safety and compliance concerns.
  • Expense Fraud: Manual receipt-based reimbursements led to inflated claims and unverified expenses.
  • Legal Liability: Delays in driver and vehicle verification posed significant legal and insurance risks.

With frequent project expansions and growing field operations, the company needed a scalable solution to enforce policy compliance, reduce fraud, and improve visibility.

The Solution: A Compliance-Driven Travel SaaS Platform

The firm deployed a robust Travel SaaS platform designed to automate policy enforcement, track ground travel, and ensure regulatory compliance at scale.

Key Features Implemented:

Automated Policy Enforcement – Employees could only book from pre-approved airlines, hotels, and rental vendors.
