Navan vs. TravelPerk

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

Very helpful in saving time and costs when it comes to planning business travel, tracking expenses, and reimbursement management. Their support team is friendly and comprehensive, they manage to do changes to our reservations within 10 hours before our trip with no extra costs. I can't find a scenario where it is less appropriate.

• 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.

• I got very competitive flight tickets. Booking was very easy since I don't need to make a payment on my own.
• It was automatic payment by the company's preset card. Hence, the transaction was very smooth.
• I was able to do a group booking when we went for a business meeting. It helped us to get same rows seats, hence it was more productive even inside the flight.
• Any time I contact the support team the response was immediate and great.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Truly awful customer service agents who are careless and make mistakes constantly
• Inability to see other travelers on the App, even as an admin
• AE does not escalate issues quickly or seriously enough

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.

Great customer service and the chat is wonderful. There is always someone connected.

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).

TravelPerk does not make us pay for booking flights so it is a much cheaper option for the same quality of service. The chat option is great, compared to phone customer service with Egencia that also gets costly: $22/call.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Saves the HR and events team time: employees can book their travel by themselves
• Saves the finance team time: employees book travel using the corporate card, so they don't need to be reimbursed
• Efficient documentation: it's very easy to see and manage employees' trip info and receipts in one place, which helps with accounting
