Corporate Traveller, a Flight Centre Travel Group company specializing in travel management for small to midsize businesses, has formed a partnership with Emburse to introduce an integrated travel and expense (T&E) solution. The collaboration aims to improve efficiency and transparency in corporate travel spending.
The central feature of this partnership involves Emburse capturing receipt data directly from Corporate Traveller bookings, including those made through its Melon platform. This information is automatically categorized and directed to the appropriate approvers, which significantly reduces the need for manual processing.
The integration also speeds up reimbursement by pre-filling expense lines in expense reports. This automation is designed to minimize manual tasks, provide finance teams with real-time insights into travel expenditures, and simplify the overall experience for travelers.
Ama Amsellem, VP of fintech product management at Flight Centre Travel Group, stated that the direct connection of bookings into Emburse eliminates manual tasks and gives finance teams immediate visibility into travel spending, making the process easier for travelers.
The integrated T&E solution is initially available to Corporate Traveller clients in the United States, with plans for a phased rollout to other markets in the coming months.
