TripActions has seen rising demand from companies looking to partner with a travel and spend management provider that can quickly innovate and help businesses better control spend.

Since March, TripActions has launched more than 40 major new product enhancements and capabilities, including an industry-leading COVID-19 dashboard, reimagined spend analysis dashboard, enhanced traveler safety reporting, automated unused ticket technology, TripActions Liquid Expense and TripActions Enterprise Edition.

“2020 tested us all like no other, but the team came together, focusing on customers’ needs with new product capabilities to ensure traveler safety, drive cost savings and efficiently manage global T&E programs,” said Ilan Twig, co-founder & CTO, TripActions. “With this new funding, we’re excited to deliver even more innovation to our customers over the coming months, including expanding our best-in-class, modern travel and spend management platform following the recent launch of TripActions Liquid Expense.”

Heading into 2021, enterprises are increasingly looking for cloud-based, scalable solutions that can support global travelers with a consumer-like user experience, and finance teams with real-time data and insights.

“We’ve always looked to innovation to drive business forward,” said Michael Chan, Procurement Operations Manager at Lyft. “In TripActions, we’ve found a partner that aligns with that forward-thinking ideology, providing our employees with a great product that they actually enjoy using. Because of that end-user focus, we’ve been able to reduce expense report volume, minimize time on manual reconciliation and travel expense monitoring — and instead, focus on how Lyft’s travel spend contributes to the company’s growth.”

Our investors, customers and travelers have consistently believed in our vision and helped us scale into a global enterprise organization that is trusted to manage more than $3.6 billion in travel budget annually by more than 4,000 customers of all sizes and industries around the world.

“We’re proud to continue our partnership with TripActions — a platform loved by enterprises, finance teams, and their employees alike,” said David George, general partner, a16z. “We look forward to TripActions’ continued modernization of the corporate travel experience.”
