- You have no company card or expense process to connect yet

Can you trust it?
- Established company: Navan states on its pricing page that it was founded as TripActions and reports revenue and booking volume. Read those statements yourself rather than relying on our summary.
- Check the fit: ask how it handles UK and Southeast Asian bookings, currencies and invoices before you move your team.
- Pilot first: start with one team for a quarter and compare with your current booking process.
Trying it sensibly
- List how many trips and people travel each month.
- Ask Navan for a quote and its terms for your countries.
- Pilot with one team for one quarter.
- Compare booking time, policy compliance and expense clean-up with what you do now.
- Roll out only if the numbers support it.
Mistakes to avoid
- Switching the whole company at once
- Not setting a travel policy before you start
- Ignoring currencies and invoice formats in your countries
- Judging it only on the headline price
