Stress-free travel for your business
At Aupiki, we know that business travel isn’t just about moving people — it’s about getting your team where they need to be, on time, on budget, and ready to perform. Whether it’s an intercity hui or an overseas conference, we’ll streamline every detail so your people can focus on what’s important.

Your corporate travel partner
Corporate travel done well is invisible. Flights ticketed, hotels confirmed, transfers waiting, invoices that match what you booked, and someone on the phone when a connection drops at midnight. Done badly, it’s a tax on your team’s time and a quiet drain on your budget.
We handle the lot. From your most frequent flyer to your once-a-year board offsite, every trip runs through one consistent process — booked within your policy, billed to one consolidated invoice, and supported by people who actually know your account. No call centres, no scripts, no surprises on the statement at month-end. Just travel that gets your people where they need to be, and a finance team that doesn’t dread reconciling the receipts.

We've never used a TMC before. What changes for us?
Instead of staff booking flights and hotels themselves through scattered consumer sites, requests come to us (or go through an online booking tool we configure for your policy). You get one consolidated invoice, one point of accountability, real support when things go wrong, and visibility into what your organisation is actually spending on travel. Most clients find the time savings alone justify the change.
How long does it take to get set up as a corporate client?
For straightforward setups, 1–2 weeks. We profile your travellers, agree your travel policy and approval workflow, configure your online booking tool if you want one, and brief your team. For more complex setups (multi-entity, integration with your finance system, custom approval chains), allow 3–4 weeks.
Is there a minimum spend or company size?
No hard minimum. We work with organisations spending anywhere from $20K to $1m+ annually on travel. If you’re below that, we’ll tell you honestly whether a TMC makes sense for you yet or whether you’re better off with a hybrid approach.
How do you charge — what does it actually cost us?
Our pricing model reflects the organisation we serve. Larger organisations will have a different pricing structure to smaller organisations.
Our most common pricing model is charged per booking or change. These fees will be visible on each booking you receive.
Do we need a travel policy, and can you help us write one?
You don’t strictly need one to start, but we recommend it within the first few months. We’ll be happy to guide you through the creation of a travel policy for your organisation.
What happens when someone tries to book outside policy?
Depends on how you’ve set it up. Options range from soft warnings (booker sees a notice, can proceed with reason code), to manager approval required, to hard blocks. Most clients use a mix — hard blocks on a few things (no first class, no booking less than 7 days out without approval) and soft warnings on the rest.
How do staff actually book. Do they call you, email, or use a tool?
Both, depending on the booking. Simple domestic flights and hotels usually go through Zeno, our online booking tool. Staff log in, search, book within policy, done. Complex itineraries (multi-leg, international, group elements, special requests) come to our consultants directly. You choose the mix that suits your organisation.
What support is there if a flight cancels or something goes wrong mid-trip?
24/7 emergency support with real consultants who can access your booking, rebook flights, find accommodation, and coordinate with you back home. Not a call centre script, not a chatbot. This is one of the main reasons organisations move to a TMC after a bad experience booking direct.
What reporting do we get, and how often?
We provide periodic reporting for organisations. The period varies depending on the size of your organisation. These reports give your management team good insight into your travel spend, patterns and areas for further efficiencies.
What are your payment options?
Our corporate clients have two options – Credit Card or Credit Line.
During your onboarding process, we will identify the best option for you. Both options reduce the friction generally seen between quoting a trip and having it confirmed.
