Navan

Navan (formerly TripActions) is an enterprise travel management and expense platform that uses AI to make corporate travel booking and expense reporting seamless. Founded in 2015 and used by 10,000+ companies, Navan handles the full travel-to-expense lifecycle: book the trip, track expenses, reimburse employees.

## Platform Overview

**AI travel booking** — Navan's booking interface uses AI to surface the most policy-compliant options first. Search for flights, hotels, and rail; Navan highlights choices within budget and shows out-of-policy options with an explanation. Unused ticket management tracks credits from cancelled flights and surfaces them for future bookings.

**Navan Expense** — Mobile-first expense reporting. Employees photograph receipts, and Navan's AI extracts the data, codes the expense, and routes it for approval. Reimbursements process within 24 hours via direct deposit.

**Navan Rewards** — Employees who book under budget on travel earn points redeemable for personal travel. This creates an incentive to spend less — aligning employee and company interests.

**Real-time visibility** — Finance teams see all travel and expense in a single dashboard, with predictive budget analytics, department-level breakdowns, and duty-of-care tracking (know where your employees are during travel).

**Integrations** — Connects to HRIS systems (Workday, BambooHR), ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle), and expense tools. Navan cards handle out-of-pocket expenses.

## Who Uses Navan

Navan serves companies from 50 employees to enterprise scale. It's strongest for companies with high travel volume where manual expense processes create significant overhead.
