Pliant and Siap Atlante Plus BT: The Winning Combination for Business Travel

The world of business travel is rapidly evolving. In this landscape, efficiency and cost control have become essential, and digital solutions for managing corporate travel are now a top priority.

One of the most exciting recent innovations is the integration between the Siap Atlante Plus BT platform and the virtual credit card solutions offered by Pliant. This partnership promises to simplify expense management for business travelers.

Siap Atlante Plus: A Premier Travel Management Platform

Siap Srl developed Siap Atlante Plus as one of the most advanced solutions for managing business and corporate travel. The platform stands out for its ability to integrate with various booking systems, supporting everything from invoicing to automated reporting.

This solution provides comprehensive monitoring of every stage of the trip, from the initial quote to final expense reporting. It ensures full transparency and real-time control over all expenses. “Our platform is designed to give travel managers and financial officers a powerful, flexible tool,” says Siap. “Atlante Plus BT reduces administrative burdens, allowing users to focus on more strategic tasks.”

Pliant: Virtual Credit Cards for Total Control

Pliant offers innovative virtual credit card solutions tailored to the business travel sector. But what are the practical benefits?

Issuing virtual cards in real time allows companies to assign specific cards for individual trips or transactions, with predefined spending limits and maximum flexibility. This feature enables businesses to maintain strict control over employee expenses, especially those outside company policy.

“Our virtual credit card solution offers an unprecedented level of control and security,” says Malte Rau, CEO of Pliant. “Each card can be programmed for a specific use, eliminating the potential for misuse or out-of-control spending.”

For travel managers, this translates directly into savings. With Pliant, the card amount is aligned with the booking made, ensuring secure transactions, preventing improper charges, and limiting merchant categories to travel-related services.

“At the time of issuing the card, the spending limit is set based on the total booking amount, and spending rules are established to allow only travel-related merchants to process the transaction,” explains Dario Di Criscio, Head of Finance at Cisalpina.

The Optimal Partnership: How Siap and Pliant Integration Works

The integration between Siap Atlante Plus BT and Pliant represents the perfect synergy for companies looking to digitize their financial operations within the business travel sector.

With this integration, virtual cards can be created for each employee or trip. Moreover, the system centralizes all information in one platform, enhancing data visibility and simplifying operational management.

"Thanks to our partnership with SIAP, we are able to offer a comprehensive solution for smoother and more secure management of corporate financial operations, both for TMCs and corporate clients," emphasizes Rau.

Expense Reconciliation: A Game-Changer for Corporate Travel Management

One of the most challenging aspects of managing corporate travel is reconciling expenses with issued invoices and company budgets. With the integration of Siap Atlante Plus BT and Pliant, all data related to transactions made with Pliant cards is automatically synced with the Siap system.

This means that every expense is recorded, categorized, and reconciled automatically with the company’s accounting system, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for expense approval and reporting. “The automated process eliminates errors and discrepancies, ensuring quick and accurate reconciliation,” notes Dario Di Criscio, Head of Finance at Cisalpina.

A Cutting-Edge Solution for Business Travel

This offering represents a great opportunity for Travel Management Companies (TMCs). By leveraging this integration, TMCs can provide their clients with an efficient and specialized service. Thanks to its flexibility and scalability, the solution fits organizations of all sizes, ensuring both efficiency and security for large-scale travel operations and those looking to optimize their processes.

"Companies can focus on what really matters: doing business. This solution represents a true step forward for those looking to compete in the dynamic world of business travel," states Di Criscio.
