Fashion retailer targets high employee adoption and efficiency with AI-powered travel platform

PALO ALTO, Calif.: Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN), the global AI-powered business travel and expense platform, today announced it has been selected by Kiabi, the French multinational fashion retailer, to consolidate its global travel with one unified platform.

To support its workforce of nearly 10,000 “Kiabers,” the retailer required a solution capable of providing an easy-to-use travel platform. Navan was selected due to its intuitive AI-powered interface and ability to integrate with Kiabi’s travel policies directly in-app.

“Managing travel was becoming an administrative burden that slowed our teams down,” said Denise Maurice, Indirect Procurement Director at Kiabi. “We wanted to give our ‘Kiabers’ the freedom to book their own trips without getting bogged down in manual approvals. Navan gives them that simple, consumer-style experience while ensuring Kiabi has the oversight we need to continue to scale internationally.”

Key anticipated benefits from the partnership include:

• One centralized global tool: Providing all employees with one intuitive booking tool and enhanced travel spend visibility for the Kiabi finance team.
• Cost savings: Access to competitive travel inventory through Navan’s European rail, and leading NDC (New Distribution Capability) and low-cost air carrier content.
• Dedicated 24/7 support: Providing Kiabi employees with 24/7 travel support via chat or phone, targeting response times under 60 seconds and a satisfaction score above 90%.

“Modern employees have zero patience for tools that feel like extra work,” said Zahir Abdelouhab, SVP, EMEA at Navan. “Kiabi understands that when you make the process easy for the traveler, the savings and data follow naturally. We’re excited to help them strip away those manual friction points so their teams can stay focused on the business.”

Kiabi joins a growing list of enterprise organizations that have recently switched to Navan, including industry leaders from across France and the retail sector, such as Criteo and Frasers Group.
