HMHF Travel Management Corporation

What HMHF Travel Management Corporation does

HMHF Travel Management Corporation (legal name: Hamilton, Miller, Hudson & Fayne Travel Management Corporation) was a Detroit-area corporate travel management company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Southfield, Michigan. Following its acquisition by Christopherson Business Travel, HMHF now operates as a subsidiary/division of Christopherson, with existing HMHF employees continuing to serve clients under the unified Christopherson technology platform and brand. The company serves primarily corporate and business clients with a full-service travel management offering that includes booking, savings optimization, program management, and global travel solutions, alongside specialty vertical practices in government, university, humanitarian, meetings and incentives, locum tenens (healthcare staffing), and leisure travel.

The core technology product is Andavo, a proprietary, cloud-based travel management platform that provides 24/7 online booking, reporting and analytics tools, and integration with global distribution systems for inventory access across airlines, hotels, and other travel suppliers. The platform is accessible via web and mobile, and is complemented by high-touch advisory services delivered by travel advisors averaging 19+ years of experience. This platform-plus-advisor architecture combines self-service booking convenience with dedicated account management, where account managers proactively review, analyze, and optimize each client's travel program.

HMHF generates revenue through transaction-based fees on corporate travel bookings and related travel management services. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and consultative, targeting enterprise and mid-market corporate clients via direct enterprise sales, personalized demos, and dedicated account management. Customer acquisition is anchored around a "Request a demo" conversion path on the website, with content marketing and industry events used for top-of-funnel demand generation. Vertical segmentation (corporate, government, university, humanitarian, healthcare/locum tenens, leisure) reflects a deliberate strategy to address the specific compliance, budgeting, and logistics requirements of each end market.
