Case Study: SumUp achieves drastic time savings for finance and office teams with TravelPerk

How Sumup Experienced Drastic Time Savings for the Finance and Office Teams

SumUp, a global fintech company with over 1000 employees, faced a complex and time-intensive travel management process. Their previous system required office managers to act as intermediaries between travelers and the finance team, leading to a cumbersome back-and-forth via email. This manual process was inefficient, often resulted in suboptimal travel choices for employees, and created a significant administrative burden, especially during large-scale travel disruptions.

By implementing TravelPerk, SumUp empowered its employees to book their own travel within set budgets, removing the office managers as the middleman. The TravelPerk platform provided automated approvals, consolidated invoicing, and integration with Spendesk for expense reporting. This solution resulted in drastic time savings, reducing the time the office management team spent on travel from 40% to just 5% of their workload. The finance team also benefited from greater visibility, control, and automated processes, eliminating the need to manually chase invoices.
