Expense specialist Emburse is to integrate itinerary management into its app to allow travellers to manage their trips and submit expenses from the same platform.

The US-based company said it was unifying travel and expense into a ¡°single intelligent workflow¡± through its?Emburse Enterprise mobile app. This will give users the ability to see check-in times, booking confirmations and ¡°policy-aligned¡± expenses in one place.

Emburse said the development would also benefit finance departments as the real-time expense data would create ¡°actionable intelligence¡±.

¡°This is travel simplicity at its best,¡± added Paul Nagy, chief product officer at Emburse. ¡°By unifying travel itinerary information and expenses in one app, we¡¯re making life simpler for business travellers and giving finance teams the real-time visibility they need for predictive spend orchestration within their organisation.¡±

Nagy said that a lack of real-time action and visibility has previously led to ¡°expense inaccuracies and spend leakage¡±.

Emburse added that it would be making integrated itinerary management available globally through Emburse Enterprise on 1 August.

The enhancements to Emburse¡¯s app are part of the company¡¯s Expense Intelligence roadmap, with further improvements, such as Emburse Book and Emburse Reshop, due to be rolled out in the next few months.
