Fully integrated, end-to-end booking, trip
management, virtual card and expense management to deliver greater
spend control and a new era of business travel
Emburse, whose leading travel and expense solutions power
forward-thinking organizations, continues its innovative track
record by unveiling its vision for the next generation of
integrated, end-to-end travel and expense management solutions,
with the latest in fintech, at the Global Business Travel
Association (GBTA) Annual Conference.
Emburse’s vision for a fully integrated travel suite includes
Emburse Book, a modern, enterprise-grade online tool for booking
flights (including NDC), rail, hotels and ground transportation.
Emburse Book will be completely integrated with Emburse Expense,
TRIPBAM and Emburse Go, as well as an organization’s existing TMC,
delivering one-click approvals and Emburse Cards virtual cards
issuance for travel booking and on-trip spend. Fully itemized
travel itineraries will flow seamlessly into a user’s Emburse
expense and trip management solutions, ensuring data integrity,
compliance and streamlining both the business traveler and finance
team’s expense process.
Today’s business travelers expect a seamless, mobile-centric
experience throughout their journey – from pre-approved virtual
cards that keep spend within policy, to flight and hotel bookings
that automatically sync with the expense solution and in the
individual’s travel companion app. In addition, if a hotel room or
airline ticket drops in price, it can be automatically rebooked,
with the new cost reflected in expenses, and cost savings flowing
back to the organization. This highly automated, effortless travel
experience means business travelers have more time to do what they
love, rather than spending countless hours on expenses.
“For far too long, mid-market, enterprise and even multinational
corporations have dealt with a limited choice of end-to-end T&E
technology vendors, which has stifled innovation, increased
out-of-policy spend and downgraded the business traveler
experience. That unhappy status quo ends today with those on
Emburse products and solutions,” said Marne Martin, CEO at Emburse.
“We’ve heard loud and clear that this size of organization needs to
future-proof their entire T&E technology suite. We are excited
to respond to that need with Emburse Book and our next-generation
expense and travel management solutions. Emburse is recognized as
the innovation leader in corporate expense and post-booking travel
management solutions. Delivering this same level of innovation
throughout the entire business travel lifecycle will help
organizations to break free from the frustration of their current
travel and expense management process.”
Emburse Chrome River Expense, the company’s flagship expense
management solution for midsize to large organizations, is also
being reimagined to support the needs of mobile-first, tech-forward
business travelers. The solution will feature a completely
redesigned user interface, bringing automation to a new level with
a range of innovative features and added content. These include
increased automation and AI, missing expense suggestions for
end-users, next generation optical character recognition and
automated expense item creation, as well as an industry-leading
business rules engine, which will automatically categorize expenses
and ensure spend policy compliance.
“Modern workforces expect business travel solutions that
complement their highly mobile, digital lifestyle,” said Kevin
Permenter, Research Director, Financial Applications at IDC. “They
want smart, user-friendly and highly automated solutions that can
take care of manual tasks in the background and allow them to focus
on their jobs. Emburse has made several meaningful investments
showing a deep commitment to building the next generation of
T&E software. Their aim is clear – helping companies
significantly improve business traveler satisfaction and
productivity, as well as helping companies to streamline financial
processes and better control costs.”
Additionally, the company is bringing its TRIPBAM solutions
under the Emburse brand, solidifying the integration of the two
organizations since Emburse’s acquisition of TRIPBAM in July 2023.
TRIPBAM’s flagship travel reshopping solution is now Emburse
Reshop, and its auditing and benchmarking solutions are now Emburse
Audit and Emburse Benchmark.
“TRIPBAM has rapidly become a key part of Emburse on a
technical, commercial and operational level. As we celebrate the
one-year anniversary of it becoming part of the family and we
announce our vision of a fully integrated, end-to-end travel and
expense experience, it’s fitting that we bring TRIPBAM and its
products fully under the Emburse umbrella,” added Marne Martin.
Emburse is an industry-leading T&E management provider and
through a best-in-class acquisitions strategy, has created an
unparalleled user experience for business travelers and is now
positioned to take that experience to the next level.
