Mendel, Latin America’s leading corporate payment and expense management platform, has launched its new online booking tool (OBT), an innovative module pitched as seamlessly integrating all travel and expense management needs into one intuitive platform.
Mendel’s OBT is designed with extensive integration capabilities, including support for NDC and Edifact standards, low-cost carrier (LCC) options, and direct connections to major travel management companies (TMCs). As a result, companies can access preferential rates and exclusive corporate benefits, thus optimizing costs and obtaining savings of up to four times compared to traditional offline TMC transactions.
“The new OBT sets a new benchmark for corporate travel in Latin America,” said Alan Karpovsky, Medel Co-founder and CEO.
“Designed to take into account regional needs, we’ve created a tool that combines an easy-to-use experience with powerful customization options to fit each customer’s unique travel policies and arrangements.”
The new vertical aligns with Mendel’s core platform, providing companies with the same efficiencies that US platforms provide – but tailored to the regulatory complexities and unique needs of the Latin American region.
Unlike legacy solutions, Mendel’s platform allows users to adjust and manage trips through a centralized interface connected directly to their ERP systems, ensuring real-time visibility and compliance with regional tax regulations.
