Travelers book on personal cards to keep their miles. They use corporate cards you don't control. Your competitors already capture this spend in real time. If your platform still depends on bank feeds and expense reports, you're shipping a product with a blind spot — and losing deals because of it.
Travelers book flights on personal cards to keep miles. They use hotel loyalty programs tied to personal accounts. Teams in new markets book with local corporate cards that aren't in your system.
Every unmanaged booking is a gap in your platform: no real-time itinerary matching, no policy enforcement, no duty-of-care visibility. The booking exists — you just can't see it until the expense report comes in days or weeks later.
Travel management platforms are responsible for knowing where employees are. When spend happens on cards you can't see, you have travelers in cities you don't know about — booked on flights and hotels that aren't in your system.
A traveler books a hotel in São Paulo on a personal card. Your platform doesn't see the booking. Your duty-of-care system doesn't know they're there.
Card transactions from unmanaged bookings arrive via bank feeds days later — if at all. Matching them to actual travel is manual detective work.
Your travel policy can't enforce limits on bookings it doesn't know about. Out-of-policy spend on personal cards only surfaces at reconciliation.
Astrada's Transaction Data API lets travelers enroll any card — personal, corporate, any issuer. Transaction data flows to your platform at authorization, with the structured fields needed to identify and categorize travel spend instantly.
Travelers keep using their preferred cards — you get the data. No card switch means no adoption friction.
See the hotel booking the moment the card is charged. MCC codes identify airlines, hotels, and ground transport automatically.

With real-time card data from every traveler card, your platform can close the gaps that have always been part of business travel management.
Your agents can reconcile managed bookings against actual card charges — and surface unmanaged bookings the moment they happen.
When a traveler books a hotel on a personal card, your platform sees the charge instantly — with merchant details and location data.
