Think end-to-end: Integrate travel booking with your expense management From an operational standpoint, business travel is often needlessly complicated. Companies and travellers book across dozens of sites and hundreds of reimbursement requests per month. Without effective (and integrated) systems in place, there’s a ton of manual work to sift through. Save money by saving time. Integrate your travel booking tools with your expense management system. For example, Gett integrates with Concur so you can automatically pull in all of your ground- travel related expenses without requiring travelers or finance managers to input them. This creates a better employee experience for those who travel to help grow your business, and frees up a lot of time for more important financial initiatives. TravelPerk integrates with Expensify, Payhawk, and ExpenseIn so you can bring your travel spending into your favorite expense management tool. Get rid of old-school reimbursement processes in favor of consolidated invoicing The average expense claim takes 20 minutes to process , and an extra 18 minutes if there are errors (which 19% of claims contain). Because time is money, expense reports cost £25.71 on average to process. Thankfully, there is a way to save time both for the employees doing the traveling and the ones processing their receipts and reports. Consolidated invoicing is the easiest way to streamline operations when it comes to travel. When your employees use a single platform to hire cars, you receive one monthly invoice instead of dozens (or hundreds) of receipts and reimbursement requests. The same is true when you use one provider for flights, hotels, and trains. 10
