Expense management provider Certify has launched an
integrated travel and expense tool for midmarket and larger companies. NuTravel
is providing the white-labeled booking tool component. Called Certify
Enterprise Travel, it joins Certify's AmTrav-powered Certify Travel Solution
for small and midsize enterprises. Explaining why Certify partnered with a
different company for the new tool, CEO Bob Neveu said, "Once you go up
market, up to 500 [employees], a lot of companies already have a TMC
relationship, and AmTrav's booking product can't be used with other TMCs."
Certify Enterprise Travel will populate booking transactions
into Certify's expense tool and offer single sign-on for both booking and
expense. Certify will implement and support the tool. "If we don’t own
that, that's where you lose customers because then they'll say they’re not
satisfied or we didn't answer their questions fast enough," Neveu said.
Certify positioned the offering as an
alternative to Concur, echoing the company's message when it announced a merger
with three
other expense management firms.
