As a national, non-profit organization, the U.S. Travel Association has acted as the voice for the U.S. travel industry for over 75 years. Currently serving over 1,100 leading traveling organizations, this association identifies significant opportunities and challenges for the sector, lobbies for favorable policies related to travel, offers education initiatives, and provides industry-specific data and analysis for its members.
In order to offer so many vital benefits, the U.S. Travel Association runs on membership subscriptions. This means reviewing subscriptions, sending invoices, and following up on unpaid dues for the finance team.
To further streamline their finance operations and increase remote capabilities during the 2020 pandemic, the U.S. Travel Association decided to migrate from the Microsoft Great Plains ERP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Gorilla Expense was able to make this migration smoother from an Expense Reporting perspective due to their plug and play integration with Business Central

Gorilla Expense partners with several major credit card companies and financial institutions.
