About
Perk is an AI-powered platform built to eliminate the administrative overhead—what it calls 'shadow work'—that bogs down business travel and corporate spend. By unifying travel booking, expense management, invoice processing, and event coordination into one intelligent platform, Perk gives companies both the freedom travelers want and the financial controls businesses need. The platform provides access to a global inventory covering thousands of flights, hotels, trains, and car rentals, with proprietary rates and a single-view itinerary. Travelers can rebook or cancel trips in just a few taps without contacting support. On the expense side, AI automatically captures and categorizes expenses, matches receipts to transactions, flags policy breaches, and surfaces discrepancies—removing the need for manual reconciliation. For finance teams, AI-driven invoice processing matches, codes, and routes invoices for approval with zero manual effort. Perk also supports corporate event management, letting organizers set budgets, create custom landing pages for RSVPs, and track costs in real time. With integrations for popular expense platforms, VAT recovery, duty of care, 24/7 travel support, and a suite of Perk and UBS corporate cards, it serves SMEs and enterprise teams alike. It is trusted by thousands of global teams seeking to reduce cost, save time, and maintain policy compliance across all business travel and spend.
