‘‘Typically, travel is one of the top business expenses for most organisations. Businesses today are increasingly looking for better ways to optimise their travel and its associated expenses. However, they are forced to look at travel as a siloed functional area and manage it separately due to the lack of better tools. At Zoho, we recognise these challenges and offer an integrated suite of business applications. The Zoho Expense and myBiz integration enables us to provide travel management capabilities, making our offerings more comprehensive. This solution offers a seamless experience for businesses while managing their travel and expense (T&E) processes end-to-end, right from managing corporate travel to expense reporting,” says Sivaramakrishnan Iswaran, Global Head, Zoho Finance and Operations Suite.

The statement adds that myBiz has solidified its position as one of the top corporate travel management platforms in the country, serving a diverse clientele of over 55,000 active clients across sectors. 

The travel firm says that corporate landscape is as varied as the needs of the companies it comprises. Some businesses require simple expense solutions, while others demand more complex SaaS (Software as a Service) offerings and prepaid or credit card options.
