While Canva launched in 2013, the platform’s ease of use quickly turned the budding startup into a high-growth organization with 20M+ monthly active users across 190 countries. Naturally, travel was a huge lever for that growth and Navan played a vital role.

Canva is a modern graphic-design platform that aims to make design accessible for everyone. One of Australia’s fastest growing companies, the organization considers in-person collaboration more valuable than virtual conferencing. And as Canva grew, business trips started to increase rapidly, which is not surprising considering the organization’s now international presence.

As a Commercial Accountant for Canva, Amanda Lim manages finances for Canva’s internal teams, working closely with Team Happiness to keep employees engaged and productive.

“We started booking travel as soon as we rolled out Navan internally,” Amanda said. “My first trip was for a visit to the Canva Manila office, and it was really easy and straightforward to book on the Navan platform. Plus, the proactive, real-time notifications and overall customer support experience made it feel like Navan was there with me for my entire journey. It was like having my own personal travel agent in my back pocket!”

For Amanda and her team, it’s much easier to track travel spend when all the booking happens in one central platform. Instead of trying to balance multiple credit card statements and match the transactions to receipts, the team has immediate visibility into where their travelers are going and what they’re spending with greater ease and speed.
