Travel Spend Analyst DVI Acquired by Emburse

In the US, expense management specialist Emburse has acquired travel spend behavior analyst DVI (Data Visualization Intelligence). Terms were not disclosed.

Virginia Beach-based DVI uses advanced data science techniques to convert travel data into visualizations, allowing clients to analyze every type of travel spend - including flights, hotels, rental cars, and meals - along with trips arranged by corporate travel agencies. Companies can also use this data to monitor traveler destinations and compare this data against local and global COVID hotspots, to help track potential exposure while on a trip.

Emburse says the deal will deepen its own analytics expertise and capabilities in travel and corporate spend. Brian Beard (pictured), President and CEO at DVI, comments: 'In addition to companies understanding their own spend patterns, DVI is able to help corporate travel teams benchmark their lodging and transportation spend. This enables more effective vendor contract negotiations and policy creation. Combining this insight with Emburse's expertise in spend management will provide a very compelling offering for any organization that wants to better understand and control its spend'.
