TravelPerk has formed an API integration with European fintech Pleo, a specialist in business expenses solutions.
TravelPerk’s global travel management platform has been combined with Pleo’s technology to allow travellers to book autonomously and within budget using a Pleo card, which means they won’t have to pay out-of-pocket or complete expense claims.
Receipts then automatically sync directly into the Pleo system, ready to be categorised and tagged, making reconciliation smoother by removing manual work.
It also means business customers can benefit from enriched travel insights and data within the Pleo platform.
Booking via TravelPerk means businesses can significantly reduce their costs by reclaiming up to 20% VAT back, through a VAT friendly inventory and VAT compliant invoices.
Kelly Jewison, Head of Partnerships at TravelPerk, said: “The environment businesses now find themselves in is having a direct impact on the choice of tools being selected to help manage the economic uncertainty.
“Business travel is crucial for the economy, business growth and revenue, but finance directors are looking for ways to manage and control business costs. The integration enables real-time access and greater insight into spending, to help businesses forecast accurately and plan accordingly.”
