Summary

With the launch of integrated itinerary management in the Emburse Enterprise mobile app, travel and expense come together like never before. This all-in-one solution helps business travelers stay focused and finance teams stay informed, turning fragmented workflows into orchestrated efficiency. From real-time alerts to instant approvals, see how Emburse is helping travel managers, finance leaders, and corporate security stay one step ahead.

  • Emburse now unifies travel itineraries and expenses in one mobile app.
  • Real-time alerts and AI-powered capture improve control and speed.
  • This launch advances Emburse’s vision for unified, predictive T&E.

Your Trip Just Got Smarter

Picture this: You’re eating lunch near your gate, reviewing emails before a flight. Then you get the alert no traveller ever wants to hear: Your gate has changed. But this time, you don’t panic. The Emburse Enterprise app surfaces the update, right alongside your trip itinerary and expense tools. You snap a photo of the receipt, check your new terminal, and head out, confident and composed.

Moments like these define the business travel experience. And with Emburse’s newly integrated itinerary and expense app, they become easier, faster, and far less stressful. Whether you’re arriving late at a hotel or wrapping up your trip before you even land, everything you need lives in one mobile experience.

No more inbox searches. No more app switching. Just one place to manage it all.

Manage Trips and Expenses in One Seamless Experience

For too long, business travelers have relied on siloed tools: one app for receipts, another for trips, and yet another for approvals. That fragmentation slows everyone down, and costs companies more in the long run.

With Emburse Enterprise’s new embedded travel capabilities, you get a streamlined mobile experience:

  • A dedicated travel section displays current and past itineraries with up-to-date flight details and baggage information, as well as real-time alerts in case of changes, such as terminal updates, even faster than when airlines notify travelers!
  • Travelers can sync trips automatically via supported TMCs (CWT, Amex GBT, CTM, BCD, AmTrav, Emburse Book) or simply forward booking emails to trips@go.emburse.com

Seamless transitions between booking confirmations, receipt capture, and expense submissions eliminate context switching

This is more than merging two features. It’s a redefinition of how corporate travel and finance can flow: effortlessly and intelligently.

Designed for the Pace of Business: Fast, Familiar, and Built for Action

Business travel doesn’t slow down for clunky tools. That’s why the Emburse Enterprise mobile app was built from the ground up for speed, simplicity, and clarity to mirror the desktop experience so users don’t have to relearn anything on the go.

Take a look inside:

What makes it different:

  • A personalized home screen that surfaces what you need—trip details, pending approvals, receipts to capture—without having to dig
  • Emburse AI-powered OCR receipt capture with automatic extraction, categorization, and population into expense reports
  • Instant access to approvals and workflows, reducing delays that typically stall reimbursement cycles

With offline support, enterprise-grade security, and multilingual availability, it’s built to work globally for everyone in your organization.

Elevated Control for Finance, Travel, and Security Teams

When it comes to T&E, finance leaders and travel managers often face challenges in managing risk, ensuring compliance, and preserving budgets, especially when these tasks are spread across multiple, disconnected programs. A unified mobile app that merges itinerary and expense data doesn’t just reduce friction, it also enhances efficiency and provides real-time insight into every stage of the travel lifecycle.

With the new capabilities, organizations can:

  • Gain instant visibility into what employees are spending, and how it aligns with policy
  • Flag risky behavior or out-of-policy spend in real time before it's too late
  • Make approvals faster and more informed, even while on the move

One platform. Total oversight. This level of orchestration is at the heart of Expense Intelligence: shifting from reactive reconciliation to proactive control.

A Strategic Advantage for Travel Managers

Travel managers need to do more than just book trips—they also must deliver a seamless experience that drives adoption and compliance. The new Emburse mobile app empowers them to do both. Here’s how:

  • Higher traveler satisfaction by eliminating the need for third-party apps like TripIt
  • Increased policy adherence via embedded alerts, reminders, and in-app content
  • Greater program leverage from unified reporting on both travel and expense activity

And because itinerary visibility now lives where your travelers already manage expenses, there's no learning curve. Just smarter travel, right out of the gate.

Built for What’s Now—and What’s Next

This update represents the next step in Emburse’s vision for a fully unified T&E experience. As travel and expense converge, Emburse is leading with innovation that delivers immediate utility while setting the foundation for future features like:

  • In-app booking via Emburse Book
  • Real-time alerts through the mobile messaging center
  • Proactive savings through embedded AI and automated re-shopping

With this integrated mobile experience, we’re helping finance and travel leaders anticipate spend strategically to maximize ROI, not just track it.
