What is a data feed?

Key principles of a data feed:

• Purpose: Automates the collection and integration of travel-related expense data.
• Sources: Corporate credit cards, travel booking systems, and other financial systems.
• Content: Transaction details and booking information.
• Integration: Automates data entry into the expense management software.
• Usage: Real-time tracking, reconciliation of corporate credit card statements, and policy compliance checks.

Example of a data feed

When an employee uses a corporate credit card to book a flight, transaction details are automatically sent via the data feed to the expense management system, streamlining expense tracking and reimbursement.

The benefits of a data feed

• Save time – Cut down on manual data entry so your team can focus on more important work.
• Fewer mistakes – Automated data transfer means fewer errors and less back-and-forth.
• Stay on top of spending – Get real-time updates so you always know where money’s going.
