Yahoo Selects Navan to Modernize Travel and Expense Program

Yahoo to leverage Navan’s AI-powered, all-in-one platform to drive operational excellence and employee productivity

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN), the leading all-in-one business travel, payments, and expense management platform, today announced it has been selected by Yahoo as its unified travel and expense management platform. This partnership marks a significant milestone in Yahoo’s ongoing business transformation as it adopts Navan’s modern, AI-driven platform.

“At Yahoo, we’re embedding AI and data-driven capabilities across our iconic products and business operations, including how we manage travel and expenses,” said Matt Sanchez, Chief Operating Officer at Yahoo. “Navan provides a modern, unified platform that gives our employees time back to focus on driving innovation for our audience.”

The transition was driven by three key pillars:

• AI-Driven Productivity: Leveraging Navan’s AI to eliminate manual processes and long support hold times that kept employees from doing their jobs. The platform solves critical pain points for a global employee base, who can now seamlessly book or modify complex trips without agent support, freeing up thousands of hours for travelers, executive assistants, and finance teams to focus on higher-value activities.
• Real-Time Visibility and Accountability: Empowering finance teams with real-time data at the point of swipe to ensure total visibility and accountability.
• Meaningful Cost Efficiency: Targeting a 7-10% reduction in total travel spend by replacing overpriced legacy content with Navan’s broad inventory and direct NDC connections. This ensures travelers find the best rates on-platform, eliminating the “leakage” caused by off-platform booking and providing the company with superior policy control.

“Travel and expense is one of the few functions that can touch every single employee in an organization, making it a powerful lever for driving enterprise-wide efficiency,” said Michael Sindicich, President of Navan. “Navan delivers a modern, AI-driven travel and expense platform that perfectly reflects Yahoo’s innovation goals. By modernizing this touchpoint, Yahoo is giving its people their time back to focus on their core responsibilities while capturing significant savings. We are proud to support Yahoo’s transformation by providing a platform that balances a premium employee experience with the rigorous financial control a global leader requires.”

The partnership with Yahoo expands Navan’s enterprise track record and underscores the platform’s unique ability to solve the complex, large-scale T&E requirements of global industry leaders.
