Abstract
A system, computer product and method are provided for providing business travel and expense benchmarking analysis. A first data storage receives and stores travel data for peer entities. A second data storage receives and stores expense transaction data for the plurality of peer entities. A data storage server aggregates the metrics of the travel data and the expense transaction data of the plurality of peer entities, generating aggregated travel and expense data. A processor compares a travel and/or expense transaction metric of an individual entity to a corresponding metric of the aggregated travel data and expense transaction data and a communications interface electronically communicates the result of the comparison to a client host computer.
