Emburse SpringAhead vs. Navan

It's definitely well suited for all organizations with knowledge workers who use computers to do their work and are able to log in and enter their time on a regular basis. I've always had access to it as part of my job and love using SpringAhead. It may be less appropriate in a role where the worker does not have regular access to a computer to enter their hours digitally.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

• Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
• It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

• The reporting is not perfect. When I am trying to find history for one person it is very cumbersome to get the info you need.
• At the current use there is no integration with an expense tracking tool. We had a separate app to track expenses vs. time.
• Only resources on the project can view time. External customers could not log in to see users' time against the project. Instead they waited for invoices or status reports.

Incentivized

• Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
• Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

- Easy bookings and quick expensing - Excellent chat support - Savings for the company since employees opt for rewards which require booking cheaper than average priced hotels - Rewards for employees - Easy to use customer interface - Great mobile applications for android and iOS - Ability to control payment methods for a different types of bookings like hotels or flights or car rentals.

We selected SpringAhead because of price and usability. This tool is easy to set up and configure. It is a cloud application allowing access from anywhere. There were no training requirements. When you have a small use case this tool is the way to go. We moved off SpringAhead to get more functionality and it has required a lot more training and effort to maintain and utilize

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

• They fit the purpose of time keeping and expense reports but it could always be a whole lot better

• The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
• It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
