In this article, we delve into a comparative analysis to highlight the differences from other travel management solutions while closely examining feedback from businesses that have opted for Ayruu
The Added Values of Ayruu
As choosing the right travel management solution is crucial, Ayruu emerges as the alternative to Travel Management Companies (TMCs), bringing a set of innovative features and a flexible approach tailored to the specific needs of each business.
For Businesses
Ayruu is developed to answer the needs of key players in business travel management, including executive assistants, administrative assistants, office managers, travel managers, and the travellers themselves. It was designed to be a versatile and intuitive solution.
“Ayruu relieved me of a significant part of my workload since now travellers book their trips autonomously, and I only need to approve.” – Office manager
- Reduction of intermediaries: The travel organizer, whether it is the company or the traveller, has access to a single platform that consolidates all travel steps, from reservations to payment and invoicing. Ayruu is connected to major travel providers (both B2B and B2C actors), enabling users to search and book their itineraries autonomously on a single interface, optimizing the planning process of business trips.
- Price transparency: Ayruu guarantees the transparency of supplier prices. As we are not a travel agency and our business model is not based on commissions, we provide transparent prices, eliminating financial surprises and enabling users to effectively manage their travel budgets.
“We would save around €1700 per year. That’s already a very compelling argument.” – Office manager
3. Independence: Ayruu is an agnostic solution, offering valuable independence in choosing suppliers. This neutrality ensures users have the freedom to select partners that best suit their specific needs, without any additional fees or commissions.
4. Personalization according to travel policy: Travel managers can define personalised filters, such as the choice of preferred suppliers, budget limits for bookings, etc. This personalisation ensures full compliance with company rules, ensuring cost control and traveller satisfaction. This level of flexibility is rarely achieved in traditional solutions offered by travel agencies.

For Travellers
For travellers, Ayruu goes beyond simply facilitating bookings. The solution focuses on a user-friendly client experience, implementing practices from the B2C travel sector to offer an all-in-one solution.

2. B2C Best Practices: Drawing inspiration from the B2C travel sector, Ayruu ensures that travellers have access to the best suppliers like Booking.com. This adds a touch of comfort and quality to every step of the journey. The Ayruu app is also designed with user-friendly features to ensure ease of use (hotel maps, travel itineraries, AI travel assistance, etc.).
“Simplicity and speed of installation like we’ve never seen before.” – Ze-watt
3. Elimination of Expense Reports: Ayruu simplifies expense management for both travellers and the company by offering direct monthly payments to the company.
