How British Airways Holidays reduced the cost, time and errors involved in raising requisitions

As part of British Airways, BA Holidays helps customers find and book perfect holidays in locations all round the world. The business has in excess of 250 employees based at Gatwick Airport, many of whom are authorised to make purchases on behalf of the company.
