Center, a business expense card issuing platform, has incorporated travel features into its core real-time expense solution through an integration with the travel management solutions provider Spotnana's travel-as-a-service platform.

The new travel management experience integrates travel and expense policies, providing real-time visibility into spending, with features such as self-service itinerary changes and expert customer service. 

Moreover, Center's enhanced travel support will provide finance and accounting managers with integrated data and policy application, consumer-grade booking experiences, automation, single solution deployment, reimbursements, virtual cards, and usage-based pricing. 

Analyst QuickTake: As travel expenses commonly rank second only to payroll costs as business businesses, there is a growing trend of integrating travel into expense policy management. Similar to Center, in August, Mesh Payments introduced Mesh Travel Management, a solution that incorporates AI-enhanced spend management, global visibility and reporting, compliance tools, and multi-currency corporate cards.
