Why travel managers love Uber for Business
As any corporate travel manager will tell you, coordinating a network of on-the-go employees isn’t for the faint of heart. Uber for Business helps simplify the process, giving companies the power to design customized rideshare and meal delivery programs while maintaining visibility into employee activity. The Uber for Business platform helps travel managers automate ride and meal expensing, fulfill duty of care, and analyze employee travel patterns all from one centralized dashboard. But don’t just take our word for it—let these 6 travel pros share why they love partnering with Uber for Business.
Easy receipt management
As Corporate Travel Manager for a midsize company, Teresa McLane used to spend a lot of time tracking down receipts. That’s no longer an issue with Uber for Business, which offers integrations with major expense providers. “Uber for Business makes it much easier [with] receipts syncing right into the expense system,” McLane says.
The platform is also a major win for McLane and her travelers.
“My road warriors, they like predictability. You don’t always have that in the travel world.” Uber for Business helps employees get where they’re going with less stress. “They’re not having to keep up with paper receipts or download anything themselves,” McLane explains. “[We want] to make the entire travel process as easy as possible so that our travelers can then focus on their business.”
More visibility for program admins
Camilla Boyce, Global Travel Manager for Waters Corporation, juggles many tasks each day. But with the Uber for Business Dashboard as her central hub, she’s able to easily maintain visibility of all the moving parts, from ride and meal expensing to compliance monitoring. “Uber for Business has definitely been a piece of [what] has made my job significantly easier,” she shares.
Employees love the platform, too.
“A lot of our travelers feel a sense of security,” says Boyce, especially because of Uber’s driver vetting process. “Using Uber for Business feels like a safer, more recognized continuity of experience that we strive to offer.”
Smooth rides, smooth operations
Ted Chan, Fleet and Travel Manager for Schindler Elevator, US, compares using Uber for Business with riding an elevator—it’s a consistent, quality experience you don’t have to think too much about. “When you’re not worried about something, you know something is working right,” says Chan.
Through features like automatic receipt uploading, the platform has helped save Chan time and his company money.
He also appreciates having access to electric vehicles that support Schindler’s sustainability goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2040: “We’re looking for partners that help us meet that goal. Uber for Business has been really a good partner for us.”
Time-saving technology
As the North American Travel Manager for International SOS, Brenda Davis uses Uber for Business expense integrations to cut tasks that used to take 15 minutes down to 3. “No one likes to do expenses,” she says. “It’s tedious. Having Uber for Business and going directly to the expense platform [is] the biggest plus.”
Once Davis’s time-saving secret was out, her entire sales team immediately jumped on board the platform to enjoy similar benefits.
And they’re not the only ones who love the partnership—as efficiency increased across the company, other colleagues also thanked Davis for choosing Uber for Business. “Our finance team loves me for doing it,” she says.
Peace of mind for global travelers
Kristine Rosenberger, Regional Travel Manager of the Americas for NES Fircroft, has used Uber for Business at all her companies. “[Uber was] the pioneers of ridesharing,” she says. “I know I’m in good hands.”
As a global company, NES Fircroft sends employees on business trips all over the world. Uber for Business has been reassuring for those hesitant to drive in unfamiliar countries.
Rosenberger says: “They know that they’re going to be able to get someplace. They can get out their phone, and they’re on their way.” Rosenberger also appreciates how using Uber for Business instead of renting cars helps NES Fircroft be more conscientious about its environmental impact. “It’s a good opportunity to do your part,” she says.
A platform and a partner
As a corporate travel analyst for VF Corporation, Bridgette Henry credits Uber for Business with giving her more peace of mind. She loves being able to maintain a connection with her road warriors—and know that they’re getting from place to place efficiently and feeling safe. “You’ve just got to know where your travelers are,” she says, “and how to take care of them should anything arise.”
Henry also enjoys how the Uber for Business team helps her get the most out of the platform.
“I like the relationship with my account manager, having quarterly reviews to review how the program is going,” she says. “Uber for Business is really great.”
