Number of Seats/Users: Locomote offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Locomote that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Locomote. Locomote reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Locomote offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Locomote. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Locomote often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Locomote lands very well with most Spendbase clients who run structured corporate travel programs and care about policy control and visibility into spend.

From the feedback we see most often:

• High satisfaction: ratings cluster around the top end, especially from corporate travel and HR/operations roles.
• Strong adoption: teams pick it up quickly, which reduces training and support overhead.

Key strengths our clients point out:

• Ease of use
• Simple, intuitive interface
• Short learning curve for new team members

• Clear workflows for approving, booking, and tracking trips

• Corporate travel control

• Strong corporate travel tracking in one place
• Automatic audit tracking and trip history, useful for compliance and finance

• Company travel policies enforced and backed by real usage data

• Productivity impact

• Day-to-day work “feels easier” for travel admins
• Fewer frustrations compared with legacy tools
• Free trial helps teams validate workflows before rolling out widely

Common friction points our internal data highlights:

• User interface / look & feel
• Several Spendbase clients describe the UI as a bit dated

• Functionality is praised, but the visual design could be more modern

• Fit vs. necessity

• A small portion is unsure if they truly need a full travel management platform, especially in smaller organizations or with low travel volume

From a Spendbase savings and discount perspective:

• Clients who standardize on Locomote usually see:
• Lower “out-of-policy” bookings, which cuts hidden travel overspend
• Better audit trails, reducing time spent reconciling expenses

• Higher employee satisfaction, which reduces the soft costs of admin work

• The main opportunity we flag:

• Negotiating better contract terms and seat-based pricing based on actual adoption and usage patterns
• Combining Locomote data with Spendbase benchmarks to tighten travel policies without hurting employee experience

In short, our internal data shows that Locomote is a strong fit for companies that value control, compliance, and ease-of-use in corporate travel, with UI modernization and right-sizing the deployment being the main areas to watch.
