Travel data integration

Transferring trip and expense data from the travel platform into the company's accounting and HR systems without manual input. This removes the need for finance teams to re-key booking or spend data, reducing errors and speeding up reconciliation. It's a common requirement when a company wants its travel platform to work alongside existing ERP or expense systems.

Integration usually works in two directions. Employee data — names, passport details, departments, positions, cost centres and approvers — flows from the HR system into the travel platform, so traveller profiles and approval chains are always current. Booking and financial data — tickets, invoices, taxes, service fees and cost allocation — flows from the travel platform into accounting and ERP systems. Depending on the systems involved, data can be exchanged through APIs, ready-made connectors or scheduled file exports.

The value of integration becomes obvious at month-end. Instead of downloading documents from several sources and entering them manually, the finance team receives complete, structured data that can be matched to invoices and cost centres automatically. This reduces errors, speeds up closing, simplifies audits and makes travel spend visible across the company's usual financial reporting. When choosing a platform, it is worth checking which systems it supports, how flexible its data formats are and who is responsible for setting up the connection.

Tumodo is built to fit into a company's existing processes. The platform integrates with HRIS and accounting systems, including SAP and Oracle, and supports HR connections via Merge to BambooHR, Zoho, Sage and others, as well as an open API. Invoices, acceptance certificates and accounting reports are generated automatically in PDF or XLS, report formats can be customised, and a dedicated manager sets up the integration — the connection to an accounting system can go live within 24 hours.
