NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Emburse, whose innovative travel and expense solutions power forward-thinking organizations, today announced the launch of the Emburse Partner Community with 140 global partners. The move signals Emburse's commitment to partnering with financial services organizations, travel management companies, SaaS platforms, enterprise resource planning (ERP) ecosystems, business marketplaces, integrators and resellers to transform the way organizations — including its over 20,000 customers — spend.
'At Emburse, we believe real transformation doesn't occur in silos — it happens in communities. By investing in our partners, we're not just expanding our reach, we're growing our impact. Together, we're building a unified travel and expense infrastructure that gives finance professionals smarter tools before they spend and intelligent validation after — without compromising flexibility or control,' says Michele Shepard, Chief Revenue Officer of Emburse.
By integrating with partners, Emburse is eliminating common travel and expense pain points like duplicate submissions, confusing approval processes, and disconnected systems, turning those traditionally frustrating moments into intelligent, seamless experiences. This close collaboration is essential for delivering true Expense Intelligence, a proactive, AI-powered approach to managing corporate spend.
The Emburse Partner Community signals a significant investment in tools, resources and incentives for partners — designed to unlock growth and accelerate the impact of Expense Intelligence. Partners benefit from lead sharing, marketing development funds, enablement materials, events and training and certifications. Partners also have access to a partner portal with collaboration tools, real-time reporting, and an on-demand content library to stay current on the latest AI-driven product releases from Emburse. A new three-tiered structure allows each partnership to be designed according to the partner's specific needs.
