Launched in France and worldwide today, Rydoo aims to unlock the full potential of a dynamic yet old-fashioned market, while supporting the digitization of workplaces.
At work, administrative tasks with no added value are frustrating. We have all spent hours searching for the right flight, queuing to check-out at hotel lobbies, and then finally have confusing expense reports to fill in.

Rydoo launches its travel and expense technology brings this technology to drive efficiency and enable better ways to work.
Now Rydoo reinvents and simplifies travel and expense management to just a few clicks and photos, whilst saving time and optimizing costs.

Rydoo is the first platform to cover the full scope of any trip or any expense to contribute to a more fulfilling work environment.
With an average adoption rate of 93% within the first month, Rydoo proves just how user-friendly it is for employees and efficient it is for companies.
As a result, finance teams in organizations benefit from:
- a 87% reduction in processing cost
- sources of optimisation thanks to compliance with company policies
- time saving with expense processing time divided by 4
Rydoo is also a SaaS (Solution As A Service) solution that takes just a few days to implement, releasing new features on a weekly basis. Rydoo has an unprecedented and innovative business model based on active users numbers.
Rydoo Combines a Stellar User Experience Satisfying Corporate Expectations for Efficiency
Rydoo’s end-to-end platform combines both worlds through two modules, streamlining the entire business travel and expense process:
- Rydoo Travel helps employees find the right flight, rail ticket or car rental, and book the hotel that suits their needs from among 800 000 accommodation choices, and offers a dashing user experience in less time. Rydoo Travel skips the payment phase for employees – no more queuing at the hotel lobby – thanks to central billing. Finance teams receive a single invoice gathering all business travel-related information, at the end of the month.
- Rydoo Expense allows employees to enjoy the snap-and-process feature that offers automated, paperless expense management while complying with company’s policy. Finance teams easily manage employees’ reimbursements in real-time and control the company’s expense budget.
Using both modules guarantee full value from this new way of working, but companies can also start with one module, depending on their needs.
