“The mid-market is still largely under-equipped although we note a strong demand. It was essential for us to design a product for this segment that benefits from our large account know-how. Now enterprises of all sizes will have access to the full power of a unified travel and expense solution," said Stephane Donders, KDS General Manager.
“While companies have a lot to gain by automating their travel expense management processes, a study we conducted on the subject last July shows that, in Great-Britain, expense reports are still entered on a spreadsheet in 68 percent of cases.”
