Who is Onyx?
Onyx Travel Management Consulting is an independent consultancy specializing in strategic and operational Travel Management.
We support companies with
TMC RFPs,
Travel Audits,
OBT selection,
Travel Policies,
Duty of Care, as well as
Interim and Outsourced Travel Management.
From strategic optimization to operational ownership, we help companies reduce costs, simplify processes and build a more efficient, future-ready travel program.
Why organizations need to rethink travel management.
Rising costs, geopolitical crises, new regulatory requirements, ESG goals and rapid technological change are fundamentally transforming travel management.
At the same time, AI, automation and new providers are creating entirely new opportunities – but also more complexity and uncertainty.
Many companies still operate with historically grown processes, disparate tools, and a lack of transparency. This not only costs money but also hinders efficiency, control, and sustainable development.
Modern travel management today must be thought of strategically – flexible, digital and with a future-proof approach.
From challenge to measurable improvement.
We combine strategic consulting with operational Travel Management.
We analyze, challenge and optimize your travel program – and take ownership where needed, with a clear focus on costs, processes and measurable ROI. From day one.

Why Onyx rather than a large consulting firm?
Because specialization means shorter paths and faster results.
With Onyx, you get direct access to experienced Travel Management expertise – without large project teams, lengthy approval processes or constantly changing points of contact. We combine more than 16 years of industry experience with strategic consulting and hands-on implementation. Decisions are made quickly, solutions are tailored to your individual needs and projects are implemented with a strong focus on practical results.
How does working with Onyx actually work?
As comprehensive as necessary – and as pragmatic as possible.
We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your current situation, challenges and objectives. Together, we then define the specific requirements, scope and expected outcomes. You can engage Onyx for a clearly defined consulting project, short-term interim support or ongoing outsourced Travel Management.
Transparent, personal and 100% independent.
We only have limited travel – does professional Travel Management really make sense for us?
Professional Travel Management isn’t just for companies with large travel volumes.
Beyond direct travel spend, internal workload, processes, booking channels, contracts and a lack of transparency can all have a significant impact. That’s why we first assess where genuine potential exists.
We design solutions for travel programs of all sizes. For SMEs in particular, there are now excellent, straightforward solutions that can be tailored to their specific needs. And if a more comprehensive setup doesn’t make economic sense for your business, we won’t recommend one.
We don’t have a dedicated Travel Management function. Can you still support us?
Absolutely. This is exactly where we step in.
All we need are the relevant internal stakeholders and an understanding of your current processes, requirements and objectives. From there, we can design the right structures, processes, policies and technology setup – and manage the implementation.
Once everything is in place, you can either manage the program internally or have Onyx take ongoing responsibility through an outsourced or retainer model.
Can’t we manage a TMC RFP ourselves?
Of course – if you have the market knowledge, resources and experience in-house.
However, the market is evolving rapidly. New TMC models, OBTs, AI solutions, different pricing structures and complex service offerings make objective comparisons increasingly difficult. We manage the entire RFP process – from requirements analysis and market evaluation to supplier selection and implementation. Your team is significantly relieved, while the final decision always remains yours.
As a 100% independent consultancy, our recommendations are based solely on finding the best fit for your requirements.
We already have a business travel agency. Why would we need a consultant as well?
Your TMC manages key elements of your business travel operation. Onyx represents your interests.
We independently assess your costs, contracts, processes, technology and supplier performance to determine whether your current setup still meets your business requirements.
As a 100% independent consultancy, we have no supplier interests or preferred solutions. Our recommendations are based solely on what creates the greatest value for your organization.
Our Travel Management works – why should we change anything?
Working well and being optimally positioned are two different things.
The TMC market, technology, AI, cost structures and requirements around safety and sustainability are evolving rapidly. We independently assess whether your current setup still meets your needs – and only recommend changes where they create tangible value for your business.
We only need short-term support – is Onyx the right fit?
Yes. That’s exactly what Interim Travel Management is designed for.
Whether you are facing a temporary vacancy, capacity constraints, a transformation or an additional project, we can step in at short notice, take ownership and relieve your existing teams.
Once your internal organization is stable again, our engagement can be flexibly adjusted or concluded.
What does consulting cost – and will the investment pay off?
Professional Travel Management creates significant financial leverage.
Better commercial terms, more efficient processes, reduced internal workload and smarter travel spend management can generate savings that allow the initial consulting investment to pay for itself within just a few months.
For clearly defined projects, we work with transparent fixed fees, giving you cost certainty before the project even begins.
Our focus is not on maximizing consulting hours. It is on delivering a strong ROI, measurable results and full cost transparency.
No Travel Management in place?
We build it.
No internal resources?
We take ownership.
Missing expertise?
We bring it.
