Navan is a platform that combines corporate travel booking with expense management. It allows employees to book flights, hotels, car rentals, and trains while companies can set policies to help maintain budget control.
The software is built for frequent business travelers, travel managers, and accounting teams. By integrating booking and spending, it is designed to reduce manual expense report creation.
Beyond booking, the platform supports several payment methods, including Navan corporate cards or linking existing corporate cards. Finance teams can use the tool to categorize spend and sync data with accounting software.
