As of today, the business travel specialist has been renamed Navan. The platform is taking advantage of this rebranding to announce a number of changes to its offering, including theintegration of different tools within a single all-in-one applicationtools, i.e. travel managementthe corporate cards and the management of expense reports. In addition, the launch of Navan is to be accompanied by the arrival of a a new category of software the business management software designed for users". Contacted by Voyages d'Affaires, a spokeswoman said: " This means that software is no longer designed simply to meet a business need to the detriment of the user experience. The idea is to offer tools that take the user's needs into account by design, to meet business needs but also to make users' daily lives easier and improve their productivity." .
" Today's businesses need solutions that make them more operationally efficient, reduce costs, optimise processes and ensure compliance with internal policies. "says Navan founder and CEO Ariel Cohen. " At the same time, employees want to do away with time-consuming manual tasks that prevent them from concentrating on their core tasks. By striking a balance between the needs of these two poles, it is possible to offer an incomparable experience to all stakeholders. And this is precisely the mission that Navan has set itself. "continues Ariel Cohen.

Generative AI will therefore support ". the entire product infrastructure "Navan. A "hire" that could open up interesting prospects for the start-up's other new recruit: Ava, Navan's new virtual assistant.
Ilan Twig, co-founder and CTO of Navan, says: ". Since its inception, our company has positioned itself as an industry leader in business travel and expense reporting, using AI to boost automation, predictability and optimisation and deliver a high-quality support service to all travellers. We already had the necessary infrastructure in place - so integrating the OpenAI API with our code and Ava was the next logical step in our evolution. ".
