Z-Trip

Z-Trip, also known as Z-Trip Business Management, is a full-service business travel management company headquartered in Shanghai, China. It provides an end-to-end SaaS platform for corporate travel, enabling clients to manage flights, hotels, trains, and reimbursements in one integrated system. The company targets medium to large enterprises and public companies, aiming to solve common issues in the Chinese business travel market such as non-transparent procurement, lack of cost savings, and complicated reimbursement procedures.

The platform aggregates resources from major providers like airlines and hotels, as well as platforms such as Meituan and Qunar. A key feature is its model of direct bidding among multiple suppliers, designed to create competition and provide enterprises with optimal travel and procurement options. The system also integrates with corporate OA, ERP, cost control, and HR systems to streamline processes. The company positions itself as a Chinese counterpart to TripActions and focuses on making corporate expenditure and procurement more open and transparent.

Z-Trip has secured significant funding to support its growth, including a Series A and A+ financing of approximately USD 14 million in 2020, with investors like DCM Ventures and Tao Zhang, the founder of Dazhong Dianping. In 2021, it closed another round for millions of dollars from investors including CITIC Capital. These funds have been allocated to product development, resource aggregation, and customer service enhancements. By 2021, the company served over 1,500 enterprise customers, including prominent names like Fosun Group, Ping An Insurance Group, and China Construction Engineering Design Group.
