Abstract: Methods and systems for expense management, comprising: retrieving at least one electronic feed of charges for multiple expense receipt records directly from at least one lodging and/or transportation vendor, the at least one feed of charges including computer-readable electronic transaction data; detecting that at least one expense receipt record from the multiple expense receipt records from the at least one feed of charges is comprised of two or more line items; mapping the two or more line items to at least one transportation and/or lodging good and/or service that is chargeable to at least one account identifier, the mapping utilizing vendor expense codes and/or keyword searches; and pre-populating the at least one transportation and/or lodging good and/or service mapped to each of the two or more line items from the at least one expense receipt record in at least one expense report in at least one expense management system as two or more expense itemizations.

Abstract: Methods and Systems for Targeting Messages to a Traveler. Requests can be received to transmit messages to a traveler based on a location and a categorization of the traveler. A device location can be received. Location information of the traveler can be determined. Prior expense report information can be determined. Entity expense policy can be determined. The location information, the prior expense information, and the entity expense policy information can be categorized to generate a projected route. Updated device location can be received. It can be determined that the device is in a location corresponding to the projected location information based on the updated device location. Any targeted messages that have a category that matches a category for the location information, the prior expense information, and the policy information can be transmitted to a device of the traveler.

Abstract: Methods and systems for expense management, comprising: automatically detecting whether a credit card line item record created from a receipt record generated by processing an electronic feed of charges has been identified as a travel expense; identifying, based on a date of a charge of the electronic feed on credit card line item records, whether any of the credit card line item records identified occurred within a time period of an existing trip; automatically assigning any credit card line item records identified as an allowable expense and occurring during the time period for the existing trip for which one existing expense report exists, to an existing expense report; and automatically creating a newly created expense report and assigning to the newly created expense report any credit card line item records identified as an allowable expense and occurring during the time period for the existing trip for which no existing expense reports exists.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of distributing targeted merchant electronic messages to a merchant's remote computer, comprising: receiving traveler information at a targeting messages application; receiving merchant information at the targeted messages module; receiving merchant preference information; determining which merchants to notify by comparing the merchant information and the merchant preference information to the traveler information to determine whether any travelers that have an interest in any products or services provided by the merchants are currently near or projected to be near any of the merchants; electronically transmitting merchant electronic messages to the merchant's remote computer; auditing expense reporting information for the travelers to determine whether at least one of the travelers complete a transaction with the merchant in response to a targeting prompted by the merchant electronic messages; and in response to determining that the at least one traveler completed the transactio

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting a likelihood that a travel path is a correct travel path of a user using possible duplicate travel path information. A set of travel paths comprising at least two travel paths is obtained. Any paths that break up more than one reservation are removed. Each travel path is broken into at least one leg. Each leg in each travel path is compared to each leg in every other travel path to determine whether any travel paths are duplicates. A likelihood that each of the at least two travel paths is the correct travel path is determined using information about whether any of the at least two travel paths are duplicates.

Abstract: A method and system comprising: receiving travel request data; retrieving schedule data associated with the travel request data from the database, the schedule data being further associated with a scheduled travel time; retrieving availability data associated with the travel request data from the cache, the availability data being further associated with an available travel time; and sending the schedule data and the availability data via a computer network.

Abstract: Methods and systems comprising: receiving data; converting the data into machine readable data; extracting relevant data from the machine readable data; and populating a field in a report with the relevant data.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of targeting electronic messages to travelers, comprising performing processing associated with: utilizing geographic information comprising itinerary information, to determine where the travelers are currently and/or are projected to be during a given time period; creating a list of travelers which categorizes the geographic information and/or traveler information about the travelers on the list; electronically notifying a merchant with information related to the list and the current geographic information and/or current traveler information of the travelers on the list; receiving an electronic request from the merchant to transmit an electronic targeted message to some or all of the travelers on the list; and transmitting the electronic targeted message to some or all of the travelers on the list.

Abstract: Methods and Systems for providing a recommendation to a user, comprising: examining characteristics of a travel plan; identifying an opportunity that matches the characteristics; identifying a recommendation that matches the opportunity; and providing the recommendation to the user.

Abstract: Methods and systems may retrieve travel data records corresponding to travel requests; retrieve expense data records reflecting expense transactions, compare the expense data records to the travel data records, and determine a likelihood that the expense data records match the travel data records. Methods and systems may also detect possible duplicate travel path information by obtaining a set of travel paths with at least two travel paths, breaking each travel path into at least one segment comprising a single unit of travel with an origin and a destination, comparing each leg in each travel path to each leg in every other travel path to determine whether any travel paths are duplicates, and listing any segment paths that are possible duplicates.
