Expense management

Uber has updated its Uber for Business program with new expensing, billing and reporting features for corporate users of the ride-hailing app.

Business travelers can set up a Lyft business account to have receipts sent directly to their expense management solution.

Automation and other advances are making handling T&E less of a pain.

Four expense management software vendors—Certify, Nexonia, ExpenseWatch and Tallie—are merging into one company, after an investment firm, K1 Investment Management, said it is investing $125 million in an effort to challenge SAP’s Concur for dominance of the market.

The company also has modified the user interface for its mobile app.

The software should be intuitive, because many who use it are only doing so every several months.

The ride-hailing app accounts for 52 percent of expenses in the ground transportation category and is now the most expensed vendor overall across categories.
