This customized, password-protected Commercial Card data empowers managers to monitor, analyze and report on expenditures, negotiate with suppliers and ensure purchasing and corporate travel policy compliance. High-level reports give Senior Management a broad overview of spending within the Card Program, including top-ten merchants and exception reporting that identifies spending outside of corporate policies.
Visa Enhanced Data Services
Visa Commercial Card clients enjoy access to Visa Enhanced Data Services which delivers detailed line-item information on their card purchases. This helps maximize the efficiency of purchasing and tax reporting while minimizing administration.
Visa Commercial Card clients also enjoy access to detailed airline information including City Pair, Class of Service, etc., via Visa Enhanced Data Services. This data is fed directly into most account management reporting systems. Visa Enhanced Data Services offers full itinerary data for travel agency sales that are linked to a Customer Reservation System (CRS) such as Sabre and Galileo. Airline data available via Visa Enhanced Data Services is based on settled data meaning that only information from paid travel will be sent to a client. Using settled data gives clients a more accurate account of travel that has actually occurred and is more precise than, for example, reservation data, which only provides clients with the original reservation and cannot account for any subsequent changes to the reservation. Other cards provide only reservation data to their clients. Regardless of whether employees use a contracted travel agent or different agents for unexpected travel, using a Visa Commercial Card facilitates data capture and delivery to an organization’s reporting tool. Relevant data includes: Ticket Number, Passenger Name, Departure Date, Carrier Name, Tax amount(s), Fare Basis Code, Class of Service and City Pair.
There are benefits to Visa Enhanced Data Services. With more detailed information on the nature and source of purchases, companies enjoy greater leverage when negotiating with suppliers. This can result in more cost-effective negotiations.1
Visa Enhanced Data is only available from enrolled suppliers. If necessary, your Visa-Issuing Financial Institution will work with you to help get your key suppliers enrolled in the program.
