Mendel’s All-in-One Travel and Expense Solution Sets a New Standard for LATAM Enterprises

MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mendel, Latin America’s leading corporate expense and payment management platform, has announced the launch of its new online booking tool (OBT), a groundbreaking module set to revolutionize how companies in the region manage corporate travel. Mendel’s latest offering seamlessly integrates all travel and expense management needs into one intuitive platform, removing friction and granting finance and travel teams unprecedented control over travel policies and budgets.

Mendel’s OBT is built with deep integration capabilities, including support for NDC and Edifact standards, low-cost carrier (LCC) options, and direct connections to major travel management companies (TMCs). This allows companies to access preferred rates and exclusive corporate benefits, optimizing costs and achieving savings of up to four times compared to traditional offline TMC transactions.

“Our new OBT sets a new benchmark for corporate travel in Latin America,” said Alan Karpovsky, Co-Founder & CEO. “Designed with regional needs in mind, we’ve crafted a tool that combines a user-friendly experience with powerful customization options to accommodate each client’s unique travel policies and agreements.”

In markets like the U.S., innovative platforms such as Navan, TravelPerk, and Ramp have transformed corporate travel and expense management for high-growth businesses. Mendel mirrors this innovation by offering an adaptable, tech-forward solution tailored specifically for Latin American enterprises. This new vertical aligns seamlessly with Mendel’s core platform, giving companies the same efficiencies these U.S. platforms provide, but adapted to LATAM’s regulatory complexities and unique needs.

Beyond cost efficiency, Mendel’s OBT stands out for its flexibility, enabling self-service real-time booking changes. Unlike legacy solutions, Mendel’s platform allows users to adjust and manage travel through a centralized interface connected directly to their ERP systems, ensuring real-time visibility and compliance with regional tax regulations.

A standout feature of the OBT is its AI-powered virtual assistant, which enhances user experience and drives adoption rates. Employees can inquire and book trips intuitively, simulating interaction with a travel agent. With corporate travel policies embedded, the assistant suggests optimal options, making it easy to use even for employees unfamiliar with traditional tools.

With this launch, Mendel cements its position as a leader in digital transformation for corporate travel, offering a comprehensive solution to enhance efficiency and control, setting a new standard for the region.
