TripGain Updates & Highlights - November 2025

November brings a powerful set of enhancements focused on faster approvals, smarter expense handling, and expanded travel options. This month, we’re closing gaps in approval workflow flexibility, unlocking new rail travel choices in Europe, and giving finance teams deeper control over mileage reimbursement policies.

Let’s dive into what’s new.

Travel Approvals on WhatsApp

What’s New:
Approvers can now review and approve travel requests directly on WhatsApp, without needing to log into the platform.

Use Case:
A manager traveling or in meetings can instantly approve a flight or hotel request with a single tap.

Faster decisions. Zero friction. No delays in bookings.

Approvals on Microsoft Teams

Problem:
Approvers often miss or delay travel approvals because they need to log into the TripGain platform, especially when they are busy or on the move.

Solution:
TripGain now enables travel approvals directly on Microsoft Teams, similar to WhatsApp-based approvals. Approvers can review request details and approve or reject with a single click-without logging into TripGain.

Benefits:

• Faster approvals within a tool teams already use daily
• No platform login required for approvers
• Reduced booking delays and smoother workflows

Euro Rail Bookings Now Enabled

What’s New:
TripGain now expands international travel options with Euro Rail search and booking support.

Use Case:
Employees traveling across Europe. Eg: Paris to Amsterdam, Berlin to Prague, Zurich to Milan, can now book rail journeys directly through TripGain.

Faster travel, lower cost, and better city-center connectivity.

Enhanced Mileage Rates - Grade Wise

Problem:
Companies often have different mileage reimbursement rates for employees based on grade or band, but earlier configurations were limited.

Solution:
Mileage reimbursement is now Grade-Based, allowing finance teams to set mileage rates by role, level, or employee category.

Benefits:

• Accurate reimbursements
• Policy-aligned payouts
• Easy configuration for admins

Why These Updates Matter

• Speed: WhatsApp approvals cut approval time dramatically
• Flexibility: Team-based approvals match real org structures
• Choice: Euro Rail expands travel coverage for Europe-based trips
• Control: Grade-wise mileage rates bring precision to expense management

Wrapping Up November

This month’s updates strengthen TripGain across approvals, international bookings, and expense compliance; ensuring a smoother experience for both travelers and finance teams.

December brings major upgrades in automation, policy intelligence, and integrated travel services. Stay tuned!
