New integration enables Emburse Go Premier users to drive value and reduce their carbon footprint on-the-fly

Emburse, the largest independent provider of travel and expense software, is giving business travelers the ability to dynamically reshop hotel stays directly from their Emburse Go Premier travel companion app.

Travelers will receive automated notifications within their Emburse Go Premier app when there is a better rate at their hotel, which they can rebook without needing to leave the app. Travelers will also be alerted if an in-policy hotel of the same chain and class is available near their destination at a lower rate than their existing reservation. Once booked, reservation details will flow from the organization’s travel provider directly to their expense management system.

In addition to cost savings, travelers will also receive notifications of reshopping opportunities for rooms with a lower carbon footprint than their existing reservation, based on their company’s hotel relationships. Travelers will be able to set hotel parameters within their Emburse Go Premier app - such as amenities, chain/category, and walkability of the property’s location - to ensure that all reshopping offers they receive are suitable for their preferences and requirements.

Emburse Go Premier is a full-featured app that provides all the information a business traveler requires for a smooth trip. In addition to booking information and real-time alerts on flight changes, it also provides company-specific information, such as office locations and customized messaging, as well as duty of care and sustainability insights. It has proven to increase traveler engagement and policy compliance by more than 70%.

Emburse’s hotel and flight reshopping solution constantly scans travel providers for better rates on booked itineraries and automatically reshops when a lower rate is found. This proactive cost control can save companies up to 10% on annual travel spend. Organizations that leverage Emburse’s benchmark travel data to negotiate supplier discounts can gain 20% savings below market rates.

“Enterprise travel leaders are facing increasing pressure on their travel budgets, so are looking for new ways to make their budgets go further, without degrading the traveler experience,” said Steve Reynolds, general manager of Emburse’s travel division. “Emburse has the leading reshopping, auditing and benchmarking solution used by over 200 global companies. Emburse Go Premier is the leading mobile travel companion, used by some of the largest companies to provide corporate trip and destination content directly to travelers. By combining these two solutions, we can drive additional savings while at the same time, increasing traveler satisfaction. It’s a rare event when a solution can do both.”

Emburse's hotel reshopping solution is provided by TRIPBAM, which Emburse acquired in 2023.
