Likelihood to Recommend
Our organization was able to get a deep discount on the product, so it's suited for small businesses that are very cost conscious that just need basic tools. It's best to evaluate your accounting platform and how the information can flow from ExpenseWire to the financial application, since what we use currently doesn't allow automatic sync, which might be problematic in many cases.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

Pros
  • Ability to directly reimburse employees' bank accounts on the application itself; no need to do a separate wire/ACH payment via the company bank
  • Keeps track of all receipt submissions and you can view them on the application
  • Approval flow meets our needs

  • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
  • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

Cons
  • Increase ability to integrate with different accounting platforms automatically (we use Xero)
  • Enhance the ability to generate more types of reports with different field combinations
  • User interface is not as user friendly compared to other solutions

  • Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
  • Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

  • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
  • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
