SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. residents logged 2.1 billion person-trips in 2013, 452 million of which were for business purposes.* More than half of all the consumer trips in Q1 2013 were booked via mobile devices,** yet most corporate travel and expense solutions are not built for easy travel booking and expense management, leaving business travelers behind. Bucking the norm of boring corporate applications that are cumbersome and inefficient, Deem, a leading cloud and mobile commerce company, today launched its new business travel and expense app with an unmatched experience across mobile and the desktop that increases efficiency, ensures compliance and saves companies money on every transaction.
Available today for iPhone and Android, the free app from Deem enables its customer's employees to be more productive on the go, resulting in more timely and in-policy expense reports, compliant travel bookings and saved cost for the business. The new app delivers:
- Refreshed, consumer-grade user interface with faster navigation

- End-to-end reservation capability for flights, hotels and car rentals
- TripAdvisor ratings in hotel search results
- Calendar sync to provide real-time updates to your calendar based on travel reservations
