TravelPerk is targeting SMEs in the U.S. with a new partnership with Divvy, a spend and expense management platform.

It says the pairing will give SMEs a “simpler way to book, manage, and pay for what they need when travelling for work, while also giving finance teams a central place to control, manage, and track spend”.

The new product – Divvy Travel, powered by TravelPerk – promises a simplified, central portal for employees to easily book and manage travel and claims, with “exceptional visibility and control” for finance teams across all business spending.

An announcement said Divvy and TravelPerk have both navigated the Covid-19 landscape in innovative ways, doubling down on their commitment to SMEs.

Both companies believe SMEs will be an engine of economic recovery because of their size and agility, it added.

The deal sees Divvy’s U.S. business clients enjoying full access to the TravelPerk platform, plus TravelCare and FlexiPerk.

TravelPerk Premium and Pro customers will get access to Divvy’s free spend management solution.

“We are excited to be launching this partnership and combining the expertise of both TravelPerk and Divvy to deliver the best capabilities and experience for our customers,” said Ross McNairn, Chief Product and Technology Officer at TravelPerk.

“By recognising each other’s strengths and expertise, we are able to set new standards for employees and businesses that we think our customers will love.”
