ROBIN GANDHI SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT AND PAYMENTS , TRIPACTIONS of our own proprietary travel inventory infrastructure .”
It has proved to be a winning combination . While other travel companies are struggling , TripActions has diversified into offerings that simplify processes for the customer and provide swift solutions . “ When you take what we can do with travel bookings and combine it with what we ’ re building around payments and expenses , the result allows us to bring end-to-end , real-time spend visibility to a company at a level that very few others can provide .”
He continues , “ Combining all of these technologies across a single product vision means we can eliminate the very concept of expenses , from submission to approval to reconciliation .”
All of these changes add up to limitless opportunity , says Gandhi . The travel side of the business will be essential , because hybrid and remote work will result in more employees travelling more often for company and team meetings .
And the spend management side of the business will be just as important : With employees coming to the office less often , TripActions Liquid offers them ways to make business decisions on their own — without putting the company at risk .
“ Between our travel and payments business , we ’ re thinking of all of these things ,” says Gandhi , “ and we ’ re excited about the new normal .” fintechmagazine . com 57
