How TripPlanner helps Helder Maritiem book crew travel faster and smarter
Helder Maritiem, a specialist crewing agency for the maritime and offshore sectors, depends on fast, flexible travel solutions to keep their operations running smoothly. With tight schedules and high stakes, delays in crew travel can impact entire projects. That’s why they turned to BCD ERM and TripPlanner — a self-service tool designed to support marine fare bookings.
“For us, it works perfectly,” says Jan Brugmans, senior account manager at Helder Maritiem. “We can see flight availability in real time and book immediately, which means we can respond to clients faster and more accurately.” With TripPlanner, what used to take a full day now takes less than 30 minutes — a major time-saver for the team. Beyond speed, Brugmans highlights the consistent support from BCD’s team. “It’s always friendly and professional. In two years, we’ve had nothing but great service.” For Helder Maritiem, TripPlanner isn’t just a booking tool — it’s a competitive edge.
