Ashby vs Navan Expense

Navan Expense unites corporate cards and expense management with our travel solution to give finance leaders real-time control and visibility across all spend. Employees can confidently spend and get reimbursed on the things they need, and finance teams can rest easy knowing that the spend is always within policy. With the Navan Expense app for Slack, users can manage virtual card requests and approvals for spend on things like software subscriptions, advertising, WFH expenses, and other spot purchases directly within Slack. Employees can request spend by typing "/new-pcard," and approvers get instant notifications to take action on these requests directly within Slack.
