Reconcile your spend data with Expense Connector
Mismatched and missing spend data between your travel and expense platforms is a thing of the past. Expense Connector connects the dots, so you can better control expenses and ensure compliance to policies.
You get a better overview of total spend patterns, helping you to spot policy violations, missed savings, and compliance to negotiated rates and preferred suppliers.
“Now that we have about a year and a half of spend history, I can start to see what carriers we’re flying, […] I can see what hotel chains we’re using, and we can begin to negotiate based on that spend history some global deals or pricing.”
Tracy Stueve, Sr. Director Finance, Talent, & Projects, World Vision International

Frequently asked questions about FCM's reporting suite
-
What kind of travel and expense data can I access with FCM?
You can access a wide array of different travel reporting and expense data analytics related to business trips through FCM Platform's dashboards, such as:
- Airline expenses
- Hotel expenses
- Vehicle expenses
- CO2 emissions (by traveller or flight, hotel or car)
- Traveller wellness

Our team can create any custom report that you need, and our Expense Connector tool is a more seamless way to track expenses and travel data in one place. If it's predictive analytics you're after, then our advanced reporting features offer even more valuable insights and proactive information that goes beyond basic, historical data.
-
Can FCM Platform integrate with other travel or expense systems?
Yes, it does. FCM Platform integrates seamlessly with your existing expense management systems, so that you can merge your current processes into FCM Platform without a painful learning curve.
Not only will it integrate smoothly into your existing infrastructure, but FCM Platform also provides you with enhanced security for your business travel data.
Plus, tools like FCM Expense Connector can help you reconcile your travel spend and unveil a better picture of your travel spending patterns across booking and expense tools.
-
Can FCM Platform help improve my travel policy and compliance?
With the reports in FCM Platform, AI-powered insights from Sam and the expertise of your Account Manager, you can evolve your travel policy and corporate travel management strategy to your changing needs and goals. Identify opportunities to cut costs and save money, improve policy compliance, or build up key metrics and data-driven insights your finance team will love; it's all possible with our analytics tools and expert insight.
Consolidating data is also a huge benefit for enterprise organisations; scattered data is inefficient and means your travel budget is not optimised.
A centralised TMC partner and travel bookings means you can better spot travel patterns, future travel trends, employee satisfaction and more key metrics that improve efficiency and reduce costs. Over time, the data, combined with a compelling story, drive smarter decisions and strategic planning.
-
How often is the travel and expense data updated?
After each part of the trip is completed, from booking to boarding, to check in and check out.
As soon as the booking data is added into your FCM Platform, you’ll be able to access it for travel and expense reporting, or to spot trends you may not have identified in your travel analytics previously.
