What is Perk (TravelPerk)?
TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.
TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

Perk (TravelPerk)
5.0FINANCE
TravelPerk is widening approval channels and pushing harder into North America.
◆ Current state
TravelPerk's recent cadence is dominated by approval-channel breadth (Microsoft Teams alongside Slack, SMS for time-sensitive requests), North America support hardening, and operational basics like CSV bulk user upload and Dutch localization. An events-management platform got a brief mention. Sustainability is creeping in via CO2e in car search.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is expanding the surface where approvals happen rather than reinventing the booking flow itself, betting that meeting approvers where they already work cuts trip-cycle time. The North America push (toll-free line, expense integrations, region-specific posts) signals a deliberate market focus. Expect continued surface expansion plus a more developed events product.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move likely deepens the approvals automation with policy-aware auto-approve rules and tighter ties between expense integrations and the booking flow. North America support hours and integrations will keep expanding to close the gap with regional incumbents.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
