About Strata7

Seven connected disciplines. One integrated strategy.

Strata7 brings together hands-on corporate travel management experience and independent advisory expertise to help organisations make their travel programmes more effective, resilient and traveller-focused.

Strata represents the interconnected layers of an organisation: its people, processes, suppliers, technology, data and commercial arrangements. The 7 represents our seven consulting pillars and a structured, flexible approach to delivering change.

Corporate travel management

Better travel programmes. Better outcomes.

TMC management & performance

Travel management company relationships, service levels, operational reviews and continuous improvement.

Travel operations & delivery

Day-to-day programme effectiveness, service challenges, change management and implementation support.

Technology & traveller experience

Payments, data & insight

Supplier strategy & sourcing
