Center is excited to announce the launch of Insights for Travel, a powerful new feature that provides unparalleled visibility into all travel spend, including unmanaged bookings. This addition to our platform addresses key challenges faced by finance and travel managers in today’s business travel landscape.
Understanding the Challenge
Finance and travel managers have long struggled to gain a complete and accurate view of travel spend, particularly with unmanaged bookings and project-based expenditures. Traditional systems often lack the detailed reporting necessary to understand spending patterns, adjust policies, and control costs effectively.

With Insights for Travel, you get access to strategic dashboards that provide a complete view of travel spending. These dashboards allow you to:
- Dive deep into departmental spending
- Analyze booking behaviors to spot trends
