Perficient streamlines business travel and expenses with Uber for Business

As a leading global digital consultancy helping businesses connect with customers and grow their operations, Perficient sends hundreds of employees each week to assist clients across industries from automotive to healthcare.

The Perficient corporate travel department is committed to making its employees’ time on the road as easy and productive as possible. It also wants to give travel managers an easy way to track expenses and bring new employees on board. With all that in mind, when the company was looking for an official rideshare partner, Uber was the first to come to mind.

“Uber is synonymous with ridesharing and is our top pick thanks to their reputation for customer service, commitment to improvement, and how easy it is to use,” says Mattie Yallaly, Perficient’s Corporate Travel and Expense Manager. “Rideshare ground transport has proven to be a favourable option for Perficient colleagues.”

Employees experience greater productivity while travelling with Uber for Business

Employee uptake of Uber for Business has been strong. “Given how much time some of our employees spend on the road, Uber provides significant time savings and much less frustration,” says Yallaly. “This includes both while they’re on the move and when they’re doing their expense reports.”

Employees simply access their work profile through the Uber mobile app by toggling between their business and personal accounts. They can request and schedule rides in more than 70 countries around the world without having to worry about language or currency barriers, and enjoy automatic e-receipt forwarding through integrations with leading expense providers.

The feedback has also been positive. “Our employees appreciate that they can focus on work safely while using Uber, instead of trying to find their way around the streets of an unfamiliar city,” explains Yallaly. “This not only boosts productivity but can also help ease some of the stress of travelling.”

"I'd absolutely recommend Uber for Business. I definitely encourage other companies to give it a go. The integration with leading expense providers saves a significant amount of time spent on expense reports."
