Work With, Not Against Your Travelers

Employees learn to search and book travel on consumer websites that spend millions of dollars to create fun, compelling experiences years before they join your company – it’s no wonder that

50% of hotels and 28% of flights are booked off-channel, outside of corporate travel programs.

We believe that the solution to the off-channel booking blindspot isn’t tighter restrictions nor another limiting booking tool but instead, using data to give the traveler more accountability and the travel manager and/or TMC real-time insights into where, what and why travelers book business travel on their favorite sites.

Shep gives the traveler more freedom and the travel manager/TMC more control and visibility.

After being embedded at a major GDS, working on integrating a startup’s technology into a booking tool, Daniel realized that no matter how many bells and whistles a corporate booking tool has, travelers still want to book on their favorite sites.

Daniel, along with co-founders, Rey and Rafael, started Shep to eliminate the natural tension that exists between a company’s need for control and employees’ desire for freedom by allowing traveler autonomy and real-time manager/TMC visibility and reporting.
