Egencia’s Post

Great to see American Express Global Business Travel's (including Egencia) CEO, Paul Abbott share some of the successes since being an independent company and acquiring Egencia. The top 3 takeaways are: 📲 77% of our transactions are digital, with 66% from our own channels. Egencia is undoubtedly driving that number at >90% online adoption globally; 🎯 50% of Amex GBT's revenue and profits come from the SMB market, which is Egencia's sweetspot; ♻ The biggest challenge for the industry is to create a sustainable future while still ensuring companies can operate, grow, and build relationships. #sustainabilityleadership #sustainabletravel #digitaltravel #digitaltransformation #companygrowth

Reflecting on an incredible experience at the GBTA APAC Conference 2024, where I was privileged to participate in the panel discussion on "The Next Iteration of Travel Payment & Expense Management". It was enriching to engage with other industry leaders and discuss the future of travel technology and expense management strategies. T&E is one of the fastest growing sectors globally, with Asia Pacific contributing 45% of global T&E spend and projected to reach $479 billion by 2027. Some takeaways: 1. Acceptance of virtual cards within the region remains a challenge but is improving rapidly, especially with local supplier connectivity. 2. e-invoicing requirements are on the rise. Have no fear, this will bring more opportunities for all of us. 3. Open technology/infrastructure for travel services throughout the application that the customer (our traveller) knows. Employees no longer accept processes that require a lot of manual effort. And why should they? The workplace is full of digital natives. They are masters of the digital world and expect digital (payment) solutions to solve their problems. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the lively discussions. I'm excited about the innovations we're driving in business travel together. Here's to turning challenges into opportunities and setting new industry benchmarks! #HRS Group, #GBTA | Global Business Travel Association
