Emburse has launched Emburse Go, a business travel app that manages every aspect of a trip. It also provides location-based content to keep travelers safe, comfortable and productive.
Emburse Go allows employers to curate destination information and deliver contextual messaging and helps reduce spend leakage, minimize risks and track carbon footprint. Designed for small and medium-sized businesses, Emburse Go is based on the Emburse Go Premier (formerly Roadmap) corporate travel app. It also provides company-selected city guides and preferred supplier links for easy access to the corporate booking tool, corporate TMC, corporate card and expense solution. It focuses on supporting travelers holistically throughout their trip. Once a trip is booked (whether via a corporate booking tool or online booking site), the app can be automatically pre-populated with the itinerary, any subsequent itinerary changes and all relevant destination information; this includes local transport tips, tipping recommendations, risk and safety information, and local music and points of interest.
As employees use the app, employers can learn from their experiences via travel data that relies on machine learning best practices and traveler reviews given through the app. This helps improve future trip recommendations and measures performance against travel program goals.
Travelers can access essential safety information about their destination within the app. Emburse Go provides the latest COVID-19 testing requirements, travel advisories, visa requirements and links to request assistance during the trip. Corporate travel managers can reduce risk by easily communicating safety information to travelers via the app.
Over 70 percent of business travelers are concerned about their company’s carbon footprint, according to Statista. Emburse Go leverages data from Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GGP) to allow employees to manage their footprint and companies to get an overview of their impact. Travelers can view the carbon footprint of their entire trip, including flights, ground transportation and hotel choices, in the Emburse Go app. Data from all employee trips is gathered in a central dashboard, enabling organizations to measure and analyze their overall carbon footprint and benchmark it against their ESG (environmental, social and governance) commitments.
Emburse Go is available as an iPhone or Android app, to existing Emburse customers. It comes with a desktop self-service portal for travel managers, enabling them to create targeted and custom messaging for travelers. Emburse Go Premier is available to existing customers or as a standalone solution. Emburse Go Premier customers also receive monthly reports and insights for their entire travel program. The app is available in seven languages.
