About our Partnership with a Big Four Consulting Firm

A leading consulting firm, operating across more than 150 countries, appointed AltoVita as its exclusive partner for extended-stay corporate accommodation in the UK. The goal was to consolidate fragmented operations, reduce costs, and elevate the employee experience across a high-volume, complex accommodation programme.

The Challenge

While the client already had a structured offline accommodation programme in place, it faced challenges common to many mature corporate travel functions:

  • Cumbersome and time-consuming manual processes
  • Inability to source accommodation internationally for ad-hoc needs for the UK team
  • Escalating costs amidst inflationary pressures
  • Siloed management across graduate travel, mobility, talent deployment and events
  • Limited transparency in supplier performance and reporting as well as management of individual partners
  • A task-based, transactional approach to service delivery with minimal accountability for outcomes

The client required a strategic partner capable of introducing operational efficiency, data consolidation, and continuous innovation – all while upholding the high service expectations of a global firm.

Enter AltoVita—a tech-driven accommodation solution that helps travel and mobility managers streamline their entire accommodation programme. AltoVita quickly mobilised a comprehensive team from product, design and engineering to account management. This resulted in the full transition from a blue-sky vision into a co-designed implemented programme within three months - a record implementation timeframe for an organisation of this size. 

The AltoVita Solution

AltoVita co-designed bespoke technology solutions tailored to the client's needs. These included:

  • Fully integrated API connectivity with the client's internal systems, single Sign-On (SSO), HR feed integration, and custom menu configurations based on user role
  • AltoCurate and AltoSearch, providing an intuitive and personalised booking interface with various access points for bookers and employees
  • Onboarding and connectivity of preferred partners allowing live availability, negotiated rates and automated booking flow
  • Compliance: Quality control review (Breezeway Safety Inspection), sustainability practice across preferred supply chain with AltoVita's EcoStats feature on real-time tracking of CO₂ emissions

Delivering Measurable Impact and Cost Efficiency-1

Delivering Measurable Impact and Cost Efficiency

Compared to the client's previously fragmented approach, AltoVita's consolidated accommodation programme delivered up to 30% cost-reduction, leading to more than £255,000 in savings. Thanks to rate negotiation from AltoVita's increased purchasing power, 2023 rate caps were maintained, despite inflationary pressures and average daily rates were reduced by 14%. 

Since its launch, the programme has supported over 1,900 bookings and 55,000+ room nights booked, all while reducing the average booking processing time from 24 to just 4 hours. These operational efficiencies and cost savings were achieved without compromising on quality, with a strong focus on guest experience—reflected in a 98% employee satisfaction score.

Duty of Care and Risk Management

Integration with International SOS enabled live travel alerts, pre-travel risk guidance, and improved traveller tracking. Additionally, AltoVita implemented Breezeway Verification Reports to ensure supplier compliance with safety standards. Within five months, 43% of the client's preferred accommodation providers had adopted this verification model.

Global Reach with Local Support

Initially UK-focused, AltoVita expanded support to global relocations - including Australia, India, South Africa and the Middle East - ensuring consistent, agile delivery with dedicated regional resources.

The programme evolved from reactive service fulfilment to an outcome-based model powered by automation, 24/7 guest support, and clear service-level accountability. This transition aligned with the firm's broader strategy to be “human-led and tech-enabled.”

Global Reach with Local Support

Setting the Standards for Mobility and Travel Excellence

Through close collaboration, technology innovation, and outcome-based service delivery, AltoVita has redefined extended-stay accommodation for the consulting firm. This collaboration has evolved into a strategic partnership, delivering measurable value, operational efficiency, and an enhanced employee experience. Together, AltoVita and the client continue to drive innovation and excellence through co-designing systems and processes, including a Guest Experience App and integrations with Microsoft Teams and Outlook.

This partnership now serves as a benchmark for Global Mobility and Business Travel programmes, demonstrating how accommodation providers can move beyond transactional support to become strategic enablers—driving outcomes in compliance, sustainability, and employee wellbeing.
