Emburse, the expense management accounts payable automation provider, has acquired Roadmap, a mobile travel technology company. The acquisition, according to an announcement, strengthens Emburse’s capabilities in delivering a superior end-to-end traveler experience. Erich Friedrichsen, CEO of Emburse, said that business travel will return but it will look completely different to pre-pandemic travel. He said that businesses requiring their employees to travel will place greater emphasis on the quality of that experience. They will also pay closer attention to business travel policies to ensure trips are not only cost-effective, but also safe and environmentally responsible. Bringing Roadmap into its suite of solutions, said Friedrichsen, “allows our customers to offer their employees a modern, consumer-like travel experience that empowers employees and is reflective of their policies and values.” Roadmap’s highly configurable mobile business travel solution, said the announcement, is used by some of the world’s largest organizations. It enables corporate travel teams to deliver a custom-branded mobile application that integrates all corporate travel suppliers into a single experience, tailored for the requirements of their travelers. Roadmap enables organizations to choose a variety of data options, such as travel bookings, duty-of-care insight, destination visitor information and trip carbon footprint data. Roadmap’s strong data analytics allow employers to identify behavioral trends and adjust their travel policies accordingly.
