Direct expenses
Airfare, lodging, meals, mileage, and ground transportation.
Field-service economics
The hidden cost of flying employees for onsite IT support
Airfare is only one part of employee travel. Time away from primary responsibilities, ground transportation, lodging, delays, and lost productivity can make routine onsite work far more expensive than it appears.
Lost productivity
Travel time removes skilled employees from higher-value internal responsibilities.
Operational delay
Scheduling travel can slow work that a local onsite resource could complete sooner.
01
Calculate the full cost
Compare the complete travel expense and employee time against the cost of coordinated local execution. Include planning, rescheduling, and the impact on other internal projects.
02
Use travel where it adds value
Internal experts should travel when their direct presence is essential. Routine physical tasks, guided diagnostics, installations, and verification can often be completed locally under remote direction.
