There was a stretch of time when travel felt like a distant memory. Calendars were full of Zoom calls and the world got very, very small. That was only six years ago. Today, things look a lot different. In 2025, Travel was the single largest spend category across European businesses—cutting across industries from Construction to Finance. When companies make movement feel effortless, making it easier to book a flight, reserve a room, get to the next client meeting, people use that freedom. And apparently, they're using it a lot. The question isn't whether business travel is back, but whether your company is set up to make it work without the chaos. Swipe to see the data. 👀 And if you want the full picture, our spend report is just a click away: https://hubs.ly/Q049blmV0

Come say hi at the Pleo lounge, here at SuiteConnect London today!

At Pleo, we’re keeping a close eye on the evolution of EU Inc., and recent developments have been unfolding fast. 🔎 Earlier this month, the European Commission presented its proposal for EU Inc., firming up how the framework is designed to make it easier for businesses to start, operate, and grow across the EU. 🔎 The Commission also called on the European Parliament and Council to reach an agreement by the end of 2026, which seems really promising. We unpacked what it could mean for companies and founders ↓ https://lnkd.in/e8futNY8

GloPros managed company spend the way they were used to, using manual finance tracking processes within Excel sheets. As they continued to scale, they saw a clear opportunity to simplify processes and gain full financial visibility. When they moved to Pleo, the transition was quick and straightforward. Within days, the team was up and running, supported by a tailored, expert-led onboarding experience that helped connect everyday spending with the bigger business picture. If your expense process still lives in spreadsheets and email threads, it may be time for something better. 👇 Read the full story of how Glopros went live in just a few days with Pleo: https://lnkd.in/esr54Ebu

If 2025 had a headline for company spending, it would read: Discipline above all else. It’s easy to assume that economic volatility leads to panicked, blanket cost-cutting. But the data from over 40,000 Pleo customers tells a much more intentional story. Instead of slashing budgets across the board, teams spent 2025 finding their "steady state".

The story starts before 9am. A ride to the office. A software renewal. An office restock. By mid-afternoon, someone grabs a Big Mac before their next call. Our new report shows that modern spend is shaped less by large investments and more by small, habitual decisions that enable employees to quickly get what they need to do their job.

Innovation at HAPPICH: Successful Implementation of a New Credit Card Expense Management System At HAPPICH, innovation is not confined to our products. It shapes how we run our business, too. Together with Pleo, we have elevated our spend management, moving from fragmented manual workflows to a unified, intuitive system. Today, business spend is visible as it happens. Employees capture receipts in seconds, expenses are matched automatically, and finance gains real-time insight without chasing paperwork. The data flows directly into our central ERP system and optical archiving solution via a standardized interface, streamlining workflows and significantly reducing manual processing. What once required follow-ups and reconciliation now runs smoothly in the background. The impact is already tangible: ✔ Less time spent on admin work ✔ Clear, live visibility of company spend ✔ Faster processes that keep teams moving Beyond efficiency, Pleo brings stronger control and transparency across the organization. Finance has better oversight, employees have greater autonomy, and the business benefits from reliable, accurate data that supports better decisions. A big thank you to all colleagues and to our partners at Pleo for their strong collaboration and commitment in making this project a success. #HAPPICH #Digitalisierung #Innovation #Finance #Pleo #ProcessImprovement

We looked at how businesses spent in 2025 and found that most company card usage comes down to the everyday stuff: subscriptions, marketing, supplies, software. But even the big-ticket purchases—the ones that used to mean an endless paper trail—are easier to decentralise than most finance teams expect. With the right tools in place, you can give employees the autonomy they need without giving up control. Get the full breakdown in our new spend report ↓ https://hubs.ly/Q0473T660
