As Simplot continues its global expansion, the company requires a sophisticated travel platform capable of meeting the complex needs of its international workforce.
Navan’s platform supports these needs by providing:
- Unrivaled Inventory: Direct access to New Distribution Capability (NDC) content, low-cost carriers, and regional inventory that legacy systems relying on a Global Distribution System (GDS) often miss.
- Meaningful Cost Savings: Navan expects to drive significant cost savings for Simplot through reduced hotel and flight rates, increased user adoption, and automated flight credit recovery.
- AI-powered Support: World-class support through Navan’s proprietary AI, alongside 24/7 assistance from our expert network of global agents.
- Enhanced User Experience: The transition is expected to save Simplot’s travelers and finance teams time by eliminating manual processes and providing a consumer-grade mobile experience.
“Simplot is a global company that requires a modern, integrated travel platform to keep up with our growth,” said Brandon Smith, Senior Director of Procurement at Simplot. “In Navan, we found a partner that shares our commitment to innovation and vertical integration. This platform gives us the robust inventory and real-time visibility we need to drive significant cost and time savings across our entire global operation.”
“Both Simplot and Navan know what it takes to scale a global business,” said Michael Sindicich, President of Navan. “Simplot is unlocking a new level of productivity for its travelers and a new level of visibility for its finance team. We are proud to support their next phase of growth.”
