Simon-Kucher Selects Navan to Modernize Global Travel Program

“Our work is increasingly global, and travel remains essential to how we collaborate with clients and with one another,” said Thomas Wohlan, Director of Travel Management at Simon-Kucher. “To support that at scale, we needed a modern travel platform that brings consistency across countries and simplifies the experience for our teams. Navan enables us to operate more efficiently on a single global platform, with the level of intelligence and support expected of a firm like ours.”

Through the partnership, Simon-Kucher will benefit from:

• A modern booking experience: Leveraging Navan’s AI-assisted booking to reduce the average time to book a trip to under seven minutes and aiming to increase platform adoption to more than 95%.
• Optimized travel spend: Improving access to competitive travel inventory and fare options through Navan’s dynamic policy controls and unrivalled airline content.
• Emissions visibility and lower-impact travel choices: Providing consolidated reporting of travel-related emissions and offering lower-emission options, such as rail.
• Employee-level sustainability insights: Enabling dashboards for employees to view their travel footprint, while giving the firm deeper visibility into regional patterns.

“For a global consultancy like Simon-Kucher, travel is the engine of the business, but the old way of managing it just slows people down,” said Michael Riegel, Chief Customer Officer at Navan. “Teams today expect their work tools to be as smart and intuitive as the apps they use in their personal lives. By moving to Navan, Simon-Kucher is gaining an AI-powered platform that makes travel easy for its teams.”

The agreement with Simon-Kucher reinforces Navan’s growth in the enterprise segment, joining new customers Yahoo, Axel Springer, and Frasers Group.
