Roomex offers a superior traveller experience

The Roomex model is designed to enhance the traveller experience. Where applicable, the Roomex team calls the hotel personally to confirm your booking, a live duty of care map offers peace of mind and the new travel allowances RoomexPay card means they are never out of pocket with expenses. 

In contrast, reviews on impartial site G2 hint at a different experience for TravelPerk users- “Travelperk is a very challenging, frustrating product for travelers” or “I’m a business traveller and…most of my bookings stay on “processing” for hours.” “Have to call into Travelperk when travel plans change.”

When things go wrong, TravelPerk offers videos and online chat for travellers, but while keeping to a target 15-second response time or less sounds good, for quality care, your employees may be happier with Roomex.

The Roomex platform is perfect for workplace travel management

The Roomex platform allows you to search, book, manage, and pay for all your hotel bookings in one place on any device and consolidate spend for every hotel, meal, and expense into a single invoice. Travelperk’s more negative feedback is often around its platform design “needs to be updated because navigation isn’t very intuitive… Changes are really difficult, too slow and not fast enough.” 

In contrast, Roomex has been designed to suit the needs of a workplace travel manager. “The dashboard is great and easy-to-use” “I can quickly get onto my bookings to make any amends if needed” with good feedback for the ability to analyse data. “We can keep an eye on everyone’s spending.”
