Emburse Recognized With 2025 TravelTech Breakthrough Award For “Expense Management Platform of the Year”

Prestigious annual awards program recognizes standout travel technology companies and solutions around the world

DALLAS, May 8, 2025 – Emburse, whose innovative travel and expense solutions power forward-thinking organizations, today announced it has been recognized as “Expense Management Platform of the Year” in the 3rd Annual TravelTech Breakthrough Awards program. TravelTech Breakthrough is a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout travel technology companies, products and services globally.

Emburse delivers Expense Intelligence through an AI-powered travel and expense (T&E) platform that simplifies the corporate travel experience from booking and approvals to reimbursement. By streamlining travel data and analytics and integrating seamlessly with expenses and payments, Emburse provides organizations with a unified, near real-time view of spend. Employees can book travel with preferred suppliers while ensuring end-to-end visibility, compliance, and cost control for managers and approvers. The platform is evolving to capture and integrate every travel booking—unlocking deeper insight and spend intelligence for finance teams.

Through innovations like Emburse Book and Emburse Reshop, the platform completely transforms the business traveler experience—reflecting booking data in real-time, and rebooking flights and hotels at lower rates when available. Emburse Travel Audit monitors every booked rate or fare against negotiated contracts and the market to ensure suppliers are honoring agreements based on inventory availability, discount calculations and amenities. Travelers also benefit from real-time itinerary updates and in-the-moment support through the Emburse Go mobile app, where business travelers have everything they need at their fingertips. From destination-specific tips to policy reminders and safety alerts, Emburse Go keeps travelers informed, productive, and focused on compliance through convenience.

The company’s latest advancement, Emburse AI, leverages highly accurate, purpose-built AI models optimized with proprietary, responsibly-sourced data to infuse AI-powered financial intelligence into Emburse expense and invoice products globally. Emburse AI automates time-consuming tasks such as capturing receipt data, coding expense categories, and detecting fraud and out-of-policy purchases. It enhances forecasting through smarter financial insights, supports global operations with localized intelligence, and improves employee satisfaction by removing friction from routine processes like expense reporting and reimbursements.

“We're honoured to receive this recognition from Tech Breakthrough. With the launch of Emburse AI and our new Emburse Enterprise mobile app, we’re not just solving travel and expense challenges—we’re redefining how companies operate in an AI-driven, mobile-first world,” said Marne Martin, CEO of Emburse. “By combining intelligent automation with an experience users love, we give finance teams unprecedented visibility and control, while empowering employees with a seamless, stress-free travel and expense experience.”

The annual TravelTech Breakthrough Awards’ mission is to research and recognize the global innovators who are transforming the travel technology landscape. The program aims to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of breakthrough technologies driving innovation and shaping the future of travel. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from more than 14 countries worldwide, reflecting the global momentum and impact of travel technology advancements.

“Emburse has reimagined corporate T&E management, delivering unparalleled control over travel spend while empowering business travelers with unprecedented flexibility. Conventional T&E solutions often force travelers into restrictive booking systems, limiting their choice and flexibility. This results in a trade-off between corporate control and traveler convenience,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of TravelTech Breakthrough Awards. “By seamlessly integrating near real-time travel data with expense automation, payments, and analytics, Emburse dismantles the rigid constraints of traditional T&E programs, replacing them with a streamlined, intelligent, and user-friendly experience. We’re so pleased to award Emburse with ‘Expense Management Platform of the Year’ for 2025!”
