Welcome - American Express Global Business Travel

This is your starting point. In this article you'll get a quick tour of the platform, understand what each module does, and, most importantly, upload your users so they can start using the Amex GBT spend management platform.


Platform overview · 

Your dashboard: a complete overview


A 1 minute walkthrough of your dashboard layout, the top navigation, the four modules below, the Spend overview, and your company settings. Watch this before reading the rest of the guide.

The four modules

Use one, or all four. Start by adding your users. They won't receive an invite until you're ready to send one.



Travel

Book policy-compliant flights, hotels, trains, and cars. Manage approvals, payment, and duty of care from one place. Your team sees only options within your company's travel policy.

Spend

The expense management module. Employees capture receipts on mobile, managers approve, and finance exports clean data. Your dashboard overview shows where every expense sits: Justify, Approve, Review, Process.

Budgets

Create and track budgets for teams, projects, or cost centers. The Budget tile on your dashboard shows submitted vs. approved spend in real time. 

Amazon Business (Purchases)

Connected directly to Amazon Business. Authorized users can order supplies, and the purchases flow automatically into your spend and budget tracking. 

Adding your users: the essential first step

Nothing in the platform is accessible to your team until you add them. Users must be invited before they can use Travel, Spend, Budgets, or Amazon Business.


1. Setting up new users


Add users one by one, or upload a CSV for larger teams, and control exactly which modules each person can access.
