Frequently asked questions
-
What is the Melon + Float travel and expense management solution?
An end-to-end workflow that links Melon bookings with Float corporate cards so spend is auto-tracked, matched to receipts, coded, and ready for reconciliation—giving finance real-time visibility and faster month-end close.
-
How does it reduce manual expense work for finance teams?
Trips booked in Melon and paid with Float are automatically matched and coded, cutting receipt chasing and data entry, speeding reconciliation, and reducing errors.
-
What travel expenses are automatically captured—and what isn’t?
Invoiced travel booked in Melon and paid with a Float card is auto-tracked, coded, and pushed to Float. Purchases made outside that flow aren’t included in the automation.
-
Which finance systems does it integrate with?
It’s designed to integrate with leading accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite) for streamlined reporting and reconciliation.
-
How does it help with real-time spend visibility and control?
You get real-time visibility into every travel dollar as it’s spent, enabling budget monitoring, anomaly detection, and policy compliance before month-end.
-
Will our approval flows and travel policy still apply?
Yes, your existing approval processes and travel policies remain exactly the same. The partnership with Float doesn’t change how travel is booked, approved, or managed within Melon. It simply automates what happens after the booking: receipts and expenses are automatically forwarded to Float for faster reconciliation, while your company’s travel policies and approval workflows continue to operate as they do today.
-
How does receipt management work?
Receipts are automatically matched, uploaded, and coded to the corresponding booking and transaction, reducing admin for travellers and finance.
-
Can we map GL codes and export records to our ERP?
Yes—automated GL code assignment and export-ready records make it easy to push clean data to your ERP or accounting system.
-
Does this improve audit readiness and compliance?
Yes—clean, traceable records from booking to payment strengthen compliance and keep your travel expense management audit-ready.
-
How fast does finance see the data after a booking?
Melon and Float sync in real time—once a trip is booked and paid on a Float card, the expense workflow is already in motion.
-
Is this built for Canadian businesses and bilingual teams?
Yes—built for Canadian companies and available in English and French.
-
Will travellers or managers need to change how they book?
No—travellers keep using Melon. Finance gains automated coding, matched receipts, and exportable records in Float with minimal behaviour change.
-
How does this help with month-end close?
By automatically capturing and forwarding Corporate Traveller receipts into Float, every travel-related transaction is accounted for in near real time.
Finance teams no longer need to chase receipts, cross-check statements, or reconcile manual reports. All travel expenses booked through Melon with a Float card appear instantly in Float’s dashboard.
This reduces errors, shortens reconciliation time and gives finance teams cleaner, audit-ready data - helping month-end close happen faster and with greater confidence.
-
What if employees buy travel outside Melon or pay a vendor directly?
If employees book travel outside Melon or pay vendors directly, those expenses won’t be automatically matched or coded in Float. To take full advantage of automated receipt forwarding and expense tracking, all travel should be booked through Melon and paid using a Float card.
-
Does it support near real-time reporting for budget owners?
Yes—finance and budget owners get live oversight of travel spend for proactive cost control.
-
What measurable benefits should finance expect?
1. Faster Month-End Close: With receipts automatically forwarded from Melon to Float, finance teams spend less time chasing missing documentation and reconciling transactions.
2. Reduced Manual Effort: Automated receipt capture and coding eliminate the need for manual data entry or matching between travel and card transactions.
3. Improved Accuracy and Compliance: Automatic matching minimizes human error and ensures all expenses are captured and properly coded for audits.
4. Reduced Administrative Costs: Streamlined reconciliation and fewer manual tasks reduce the cost of managing travel expenses.
-
How does it affect traveller experience?
1. Less admin, easier travel: Travellers no longer need to keep track of paper receipts or forward them manually after every trip. When they use a Float card to book travel through Melon, receipts are automatically captured and sent to Float.
2. Faster reimbursements: With transactions tracked in real time, finance teams can process expenses more quickly, meaning travellers get reimbursed faster when personal funds are used.
3. Seamless, familiar booking experience: Nothing changes in how travellers book. They continue using Melon or working directly with their dedicated Travel Consultant. Now, the post-trip process is smarter and more automated.
4. Fewer follow-ups and errors: Automatic receipt forwarding means fewer back-and-forth emails with finance or travel arrangers about missing documents or expense clarifications.
5. Smoother end-to-end journey of booking to boarding to closing the trip: Corporate Traveller now offers a more complete experience that saves time at every step - in the air and after landing.
-
Is there a cost to use this?
No, there’s no additional cost for customers. The automated receipt forwarding feature is available to Corporate Traveller clients who use Float Financial cards.
-
What is the set-up process and do we need to install something new?
No, the setup is simple. There’s no new software or technical integration required on your end. Once you’re using a Float card for travel booked through Melon, receipts automatically flow to Float with no extra steps.
-
What if we already have another expense management software?
You can continue using your existing system. This partnership simply offers an additional option—a Canadian-based spend management solution that connects seamlessly with Corporate Traveller’s booking flow. If you already have an expense management software, let your Corporate Traveller representative know and we’ll work to integrate with what you have.
