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.
Zluri is hardening into a compliance-grade access-governance platform.
Zluri is methodically building out identity governance (IGA) on top of its SaaS-management roots. Recent releases revamped certification setup into a single guided flow, added per-application request-form customization, and — the standout — let access reviews start from users rather than only from apps or groups. The latest work (approver notes from email, a refreshed Groups module with dedicated user and app views) refines that foundation.

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.
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.

The direction is clear: turn SaaS visibility into auditable access governance for enterprise compliance. The building blocks — user-, app-, and group-scoped certifications, recurring reviews, customizable request forms, login IP restrictions — are converging into an end-to-end access-review and remediation suite aimed at recurring audits like annual contractor reviews.
Expect the approver-notes beta to reach general availability and continued consolidation of the certification flows (user, app, group) into one cohesive review experience.
