API connection for a seamless T&E integration
The API connection between BCD Travel and Mobilexpense enhances the business traveller experience by automating the synchronisation of the traveller’s profile and booking data with travel spend and corresponding proof of purchase in Mobilexpense. In parallel, Finance personnel benefit from a stronger control and matching process thanks to the integration’s e-invoice management capabilities. This allows for higher control confidence and more accurate total trip cost calculation across the company.
This combination of two best-of-breed platforms serves our customers’ needs better than “all-in-one” platforms thanks to the seamless integration. Furthermore, it eliminates cost leakages and expense fraud between platforms, improves data visibility, and provides a smooth experience for employees and Finance personnel alike.
“We believe that the connection between the Mobilexpense platform and BCD Travel’s invoices API will allow us to improve the traveller experience by automating their travel expense process, regardless of how the booking took place. It further enables us to provide an accurate, real-time calculation of the total trip cost for an improved expense reconciliation and settlement process.”
Thibaud De Keyzer, CEO, Mobilexpense
“BCD continues to invest heavily in the collection and curation of multi-source data to connect our platforms and systems, drive operational efficiencies and provide actionable insights. Our invoice collection is an example of a targeted data set that, in this case, helps us collectively mitigate the challenges of T&E spend management for the traveller, travel manager and finance teams.”
Yannis Karmis, Senior Vice President of Product Planning and Development, BCD Travel
A single T&E solution for a growing market
The T&E market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% by 2029 (Data Bridge Market Research, 2021) with the increased adoption of mobile devices and cross-platform applications as well as the return of business travel.
Today, most companies use distinct software for travel management and expense management. This partnership between BCD Travel and Mobilexpense is a strong positioning, offering customers seamless integration between their travel and expense tools in an otherwise fragmented market.
