IMPROVING THE BOTTOM LINE
Tuesday April 03, 2007 - GAINESVILLE, GA – A new travel service company, CarryOn, Inc., has set out to help companies improve their bottom lines while improving the business travel experience for their employees.
The time wasted standing in slow moving baggage check lines and baggage claim, waiting for a taxi to haul bags, or filling out claim forms in lost luggage offices is eliminated by CarryOn’s service, which handles the packing and transporting of anything clients need on business trips.
Frequently used travel items such as clothes, toiletries, meeting materials, and electronics peripherals like chargers and docking stations are sent to CarryOn where they are catalogued and securely stored in a client’s own “virtual closet”. When a client takes a trip, requested items from their virtual closet are shipped directly to their destination hotel. At the trip’s conclusion CarryOn retrieves the items from the hotel, handles any cleaning, laundering or other maintenance and returns them to the client’s virtual closet.
CarryOn’s clients aren’t bothered by the impact of airline schedule changes or the location of their bags since they know their luggage will be waiting for them at their destination. They save money by taking advantage of travel credits offered to passengers willing to be bumped from overbooked flights. Additionally, with no heavy bags to tote travelers can take a bus or train from the airport instead of costly taxis, car services or rental cars. Planning ahead also benefits the bottom line, as ample notice to CarryOn regarding an upcoming trip allows for increased flexibility and lower shipping charges.
“Wasted time translates into higher corporate travel costs and frazzled business travelers,” explains CarryOn founder Katherine Johnson. “When someone is traveling on business, they need to be able to concentrate on the work at hand. It’s distracting and counter-productive to have to worry about whether or not your luggage will be waiting for you unscathed at the jostling match otherwise known as baggage claim. Our clients can relax as they breeze through the airport knowing everything they need will be waiting for them when they get to their hotel.”
