Tags:
erp

Overview Airbus S.A.S., headquartered in Toulouse, France, has an annual travel budget in excess of Â¬260 million. With more than 55,000 employees, a global network of over 200 customers, and more than 1,500 suppliers worldwide, this comes as no real surprise. The budget covers 180,000 business trips made by Airbus employees every year. With growing business needs - including the decision to build the world's largest commercial aircraft, the A380 - Airbus's travel costs began to grow exponentially at the beginning of the 21st century. Airbus required an overall cost-cutting plan for travel management, an important target being to reduce the travel budget by at least 10%. To achieve that, Airbus decided to implement the SAP Travel Management application, which comes with the SAP ERP application.
