Deem vs. Navan

Deem has made life simpler while we make our trips around the states to deliver innovative IT systems with clients. It has incredible synchronization so that whenever you are out for an official trip, the management is notified of your absence in good time. I however a big issue with their hotel reservation system. It does not update the reservations availability in real-time and we get the 'reservation not available message' after booking which brings several inconveniences.

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

• 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.

Deem seems much more efficient. Concur limited the types of hotels or flights that I was able to view. Perhaps they had some kind of admin settings on there blocking access to everything for me. But Deem was much easier and faster to use in my opinion.

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).

• 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.
