Product Update - September 2024

Craig Phillips

This month, we were focused on laying the foundation for our corporate edition with features designed to streamline travel management for businesses of all sizes. 

Workspaces and expense management are at the core of this, offering centralised control and customization to make planning work trips easier for groups. 

Whether you’re managing trips for a small team or a global enterprise, these tools are designed to save time, increase visibility, and give you more control over your travel budgets and itineraries.


Introducing Workspaces: Your Command Center for Travel Planning

Say hello to Workspaces—your private, central hub for managing travel across your organisation. Workspaces allow groups to create dedicated spaces to manage their trips. 

As a user, you can be a member of multiple workspaces, making it easy for you to see relevant trips depending on which group you’re travelling with. 

As an admin, you can create workspaces, add or remove team members, assign different roles to users, and customise workspace names and icons. New members will receive notifications when they’re added, so everyone stays in the loop. Learn more about Workspaces.


Streamlined Expense Management: Stay On Top of Your Travel Budget

Managing expenses just got a whole lot easier. With our new expenses feature, you can set a trip budget, track your spending, and review all expenses in real time. Plus, everything is now multi-currency aware, so if you’re travelling across multiple countries, Finch will automatically convert expenses to your chosen trip currency.

Key features include:

  • A visual breakdown of your trip budget, total expenses, and remaining funds—all in one view.

  • Easy receipt forwarding—just email your receipts, and Finch will automatically assign them to the right trip based on dates.

  • Full admin control to review, manage, and extract all trip expenses.

Whether it’s a last-minute receipt or a big expense, you’ll know exactly where your money is going, all in one place.


Calendar Sync: Keep Your Schedule in Check

Technically this was released last month, but in September, we continued to work on updates to make sure everything’s running smoothly. In case you haven’t started using Calendar Sync yet, here’s a quick video overview to introduce you to how it works.


Fixes & Improvements: Making Finch Better for You

We’ve also tackled a few bugs this month:

  • Booking ingestions are now smoother, ensuring receipts are correctly mapped to trips based on dates.

  • Issues with vendor names missing from forwarded receipts have been resolved.

  • We’ve also fixed an error where receipt submission dates were mismatched, ensuring that your records stay accurate.


That’s it for this month’s update! We’re always working to make Finch smarter and more seamless for your travel needs. If you have feedback or ideas, we’d love to hear them—just drop us a note at feedback@finch.travel.
