This Bengaluru startup enables businesses to manage their corporate travel plans on a single platform - Tripeur.

 


Corporate travel startup Tripeur integrates with adjoining HR and expense systems of corporates to offer products like trip creation, approval, tickets for all services, policy adherence, behaviour shaping, analytics for savings and compliance.

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), India, the seventh-largest business travel market globally, is projected to be among the top five travel markets by 2022. While 60 percent of the business travel market is managed by small travel agents, only 20 percent is managed by legacy travel management companies. 

“Both of them are old fashioned, operationally heavy, and bereft of any technology offerings for their customers,” says Sajit Chacko, Co-founder of Tripeur — a Bengaluru-headquartered cloud-based, fully-integrated business travel startup.

He adds, “Customers are looking for efficiency, insights, and are going digital. This new opportunity is set to disrupt the legacy play in corporate travel.” 

Founded in December 2015 by Sajit and Thiagarajan Rajagopalan, the travel-tech startup integrates with adjoining HR and expense systems of corporates to offer products like trip creation, approval, tickets for all services, policy adherence, behaviour shaping, analytics for savings and compliance. 

The startup’s smart travel ERP transforms the manual corporate travel function to a unified platform experience for travellers, managers, admins, and CFOs, guaranteeing transparency, control, and insights.

How it works




Tripeur provides a solution that configures, manages, and controls travel budget in real-time at a cost centre level. 

“It is the only platform that allows all your offline travel vendors (cab vendors, etc.,) to be attached to the online platform for centralised invoice management and approved trip level reconciliation,” he says.

Tripeur’s average approval time is under five minutes due to its WhatsApp integration. About 95 percent of the transactions happen instantly on its system with immediate invoices and credit notes. The remaining five percent are from train/tatkal/VISA, etc., which carry a fixed TAT. 

“We enjoy a "zero" reconciliation issue in over two million transactions done till now,” Sajit shares.

Tripeur provides information from all popular sources — air, hotel, bus, train, cabs, and insurance — and claims to provide users with the best available rates and content. It also integrates with third-party vendors to create a seamless multi-vendor experience platform.

“About 30 percent of our customers have come via referral from our existing customers. We have integrations with WhatsApp, Google, Microsoft, DarwinBox, PeopleStrong, and Zoho, as well as Open APIs, to connect with other HR/Expense/Finance systems,” says Sajit.

The USP

With Tripeur, users can plan, monitor, control, and optimise their travel functions on a single platform, coupled with the service goodness of legacy travel companies, Sajit says.
