Overview
Navan (formerly TripActions) is an AI-powered business travel and expense management platform that combines travel booking, corporate cards, and expense reporting in a single application. It automates expense reconciliation, enforces spend policies with approval workflows, and integrates with accounting and HRIS systems. Founded in 2015, the company rebranded from TripActions to Navan in 2023.
The problem Navan solves
Growing companies juggle separate tools for booking travel, issuing corporate cards, and collecting expense receipts, which forces employees into manual reporting and finance teams into slow, error-prone reconciliation. Navan targets finance and operations teams that want a single platform to book travel within policy, capture card and receipt data automatically, and reconcile expenses, trading some fare flexibility and lower fees for consolidation and automation.
