Finance executives also had a difficult time managing travel costs among the different business units, which ended up costing the company a substantial amount of money. Plano Synergy needed a tool that helped travellers secure reasonably priced accommodation and aided finance managers with reporting and budgeting.

“It was difficult for our travelers to find and book our preferred hotels, ”Morales said. “And a challenge managing our travel costs.We really needed a platform that gave us better insight into our overall spending.”
