Meanwhile, 81% said they were concerned about their careers if travel didn¡¯t pick up in the next 12 months.

Many small and midsize businesses (SMBs) still use manual, disparate processes to manage travel and related expenses. But as travelers set out for the friendly skies (or open road), full visibility into T&E is a must. This helps you gain better control over costs, find ways to maximize cash flow, and get clearer insights into how best to allocate funds.
