COMDATA
Comdata, a long-term client of EES Agency, is a fleet management and corporate payments company headquartered in Brentwood, TN. EES Agency manages over 75 trade shows and 10 meetings and events for Comdata, a $3B+ company, on an annual basis.
At EES, we used our business mindset to dig deeper within the defined sectors, creating a tactical approach to solve. So, what did we do exactly….
CHALLENGES
EES organized a multi-faceted team with decades of matched experience to the various event styles after participating in internal Comdata business overview meetings to better learn about the organization. Next we, structured consistent, open, and honest communication with key stakeholders and recommended potential cost savings at every decision point (leveraged by long-term vendor and venue partnerships around the globe).
Successes
EES used proprietary reporting such as Value + Savings Report, Food + Beverage Tracking, and our ROI Calculator to depict actual dollars saved while simultaneously making beneficial adjustments for future meetings + events.
RESULTS
EES took over 2,000 hours of event management work off of the internal Comdata team, allowing them to focus on their true job functions. Through expert negotiations, we provided an average hotel savings of over 25% across all events and were able to slash onsite expenses for trade shows by 50% by restructuring our onsite and travel time. As we continue to grow our partnership, EES diminishes the learning curve by maintaining a successful partnership year over year.
”EES has worked and supported numerous high-profile groups and have demonstrated their ability to provide exceptional customer service. They have worked with groups in varying sizes and each customer has received their highest level of assistance.”
