At Roomex, we’ve always believed that better travel decisions start with better data.
That’s why we’re delighted to share that we’ve been shortlisted in the Business Travel Technology Innovation – Data & Reporting Platform category at the Business Travel Awards Europe 2026.
The finalists were announced by The BTN Group, with entries judged by an independent panel of 35 corporate travel buyers and industry consultants from across Europe. The winners will be revealed on 30 September 2026 at the Business Travel Awards Europe ceremony at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London.
Being recognised alongside some of the biggest names in business travel technology is something we’re incredibly proud of.
Unlike awards that recognise overall travel management companies, the Business Travel Technology Innovation – Data & Reporting Platform category celebrates organisations developing technology that genuinely improves how businesses understand and manage their travel programmes.
According to the award criteria, entries are judged on solutions that have:
- Moved beyond the pilot or beta stage
- Delivered measurable, real-world results
- Demonstrated innovation in travel data and reporting
- Improved the way organisations manage corporate travel and spend
For us, that’s exactly where we’ve invested our energy over the last few years.
As workforce travel becomes more complex, businesses need more than booking tools. They need visibility, reporting and actionable insights that help them reduce costs, improve compliance and make better decisions every day.
Travel managers, procurement teams and finance leaders are under increasing pressure.
They’re expected to:
- Control rising travel costs
- Report on carbon emissions
- Monitor policy compliance
- Understand booking behaviour
- Forecast budgets more accurately
- Deliver measurable savings to the business
The challenge is that the important data lives in different places, arrives in different formats and takes hours to pull together into something meaningful.
That’s exactly the problem we’ve been working to solve.
Traditional business travel reporting often focuses on flights and standard corporate travel.
Workforce travel is different.
Project schedules change. Teams move between sites. Accommodation is booked at short notice. Rail journeys replace flights. Long-stay bookings become more cost-effective than nightly rates.
Those decisions generate huge amounts of valuable data, but only if you can see it.
That’s why reporting has become a core part of the Roomex platform.
Every booking tells a story.
Used properly, that information helps businesses understand where money is being spent, where policies are working and where improvements can be made.
Through Roomex Insights Pro, customers can quickly identify opportunities to:
- Find comparable accommodation at lower prices
- Reduce unnecessary travel spend
- Compare booking behaviour across teams and locations
- Highlight overspend by city, hotel or individual booker
- Measure genuine like-for-like savings using real booking data
- Prioritise the actions that will deliver the biggest financial impact
Instead of relying on spreadsheets or manual analysis, businesses have clear, defensible reporting that supports everyday decision-making.
Sustainability reporting has become a priority for many organisations, particularly those working towards ESG targets or responding to customer and procurement requirements.
Having accurate travel data makes that process far easier.
Roomex’s Carbon Reporting service automatically measures the emissions generated through accommodation bookings, giving businesses a clear, reliable view of the environmental impact of their workforce travel.
Customers can:
- Track accommodation-related emissions
- Strengthen Scope 3 reporting
- Support ESG and sustainability reporting
- Produce evidence for tenders and client questionnaires
- Remove hours of manual data collection
- Create an auditable trail for internal reporting and external disclosures
By connecting reporting directly to booking data, businesses gain credible carbon insights without the spreadsheets and manual calculations that often slow reporting down.
Technology only matters if it removes friction.
That principle has guided every feature we’ve introduced.
Alongside reporting capabilities, businesses using Roomex can manage workforce travel through one platform, including:
- Accommodation with negotiated business rates
- Rail booking with approval workflows and split-ticket functionality
- Custom travel policies
- Transparent expense management
- Group bookings and project travel support
- Dedicated customer success and account management
The goal has always been to reduce admin while giving businesses greater visibility and control over workforce travel.
Being shortlisted for Business Travel Technology Innovation – Data & Reporting Platform is fantastic recognition for the work our product, engineering, customer success and commercial teams have put into developing the platform.
More importantly, it’s recognition that businesses increasingly need smarter reporting. We’re also proud to be shortlisted alongside other innovators helping shape the future of business travel technology.
With the winners announced in September, we’re looking forward to celebrating with the wider industry and recognising the innovation happening across the sector.
Every improvement we’ve made has been driven by conversations with our customers.
From procurement teams looking for greater visibility, to finance departments wanting stronger reporting, to operations managers trying to keep workforce travel running smoothly—your feedback continues to shape the platform we build.
