The Challenge

A client contacted NGS while planning a complex business trip to Bogota with a group of 20 employees. To begin with, each traveller had different flight schedules and activities spread across various locations, which would require transportation logistics. Moreover, Colombia’s dynamic environment presented a threat to employees’ safety and well-being. We rapidly set a goal: to prioritise safety and efficiency for all travellers during their stay in Bogota.

We also worked with our trusted local providers to build a plan for the trip’s schedule that allowed real-time adjustments.
