Navan — AI for Hospitality & Tourism

For hospitality and travel professionals managing corporate travel, the process is often fragmented across different booking sites, payment methods, and manual expense reports. Navan solves this by consolidating the entire travel and expense (T&E) lifecycle into a single, AI-driven platform. Its core logic is to provide centralized control for managers while offering a seamless, consumer-grade experience for employees. Travel Managers can set granular spending policies and guardrails directly in the system. When employees book their own travel, the AI-powered platform only shows them in-policy options from a vast inventory, effectively enforcing rules automatically. For finance teams, Navan eliminates manual expense reports by using AI to automatically categorize transactions and reconcile spend in real-time. Proof of its effectiveness comes from a study finding that Navan saves customers an average of 16% on business travel, achieved through better inventory, policy compliance, and a unique rewards program that incentivizes employees to choose cost-effective options. This combination of control, automation, and user experience makes it a powerful tool for optimizing T&E.
