Why Our Suppliers Benefit in Partnership with Navan

Suppliers have often been overlooked as a key stakeholder in the travel ecosystem, as they cannot form relationships with key customers or effectively market their products and services. Our platform creates opportunities for these integral stakeholders in the travel and payments ecosystem. Suppliers appreciate tech-forward solutions which simplify the current web of TMCs, OTAs, direct booking platforms, and consumer expectations and propel the industry forward. Our global platform provides the following key benefits to our key categories of supplier partners (such as inventory suppliers and GDSs):

• Direct access to high-value travelers. We give suppliers access to a large and highly engaged user base of frequent travelers, who can be more difficult to reach through traditional travel channels like TMCs and OBTs. Because we manage the full booking stack, suppliers gain not

only greater volume but also visibility into previously opaque demand signals. This enables them to reach premium, high-margin customers in a consistent and repeatable way, helping to drive better yield and more strategic distribution compared to fragmented legacy platforms.

• Flexible retailing and brand control. Our ownership of both the front-end user interface and back-end technology stack gives suppliers a unique ability to retail their products exactly as they intend. Unlike traditional TMCs and OBTs that often fragment the traveler experience and slow down updates, we provide a single, integrated system where suppliers can showcase brand-forward content, control fare and ancillary pricing, and iterate on their merchandising strategy in real-time. This allows suppliers to differentiate their offerings, adjust to market dynamics, and align their retail goals with how their products are discovered and booked by end users, capabilities that are especially critical as the industry embraces modern retailing frameworks like NDC.

• Accelerated innovation through collaborative distribution. We work closely with suppliers to modernize how travel products are distributed, supporting both near-term retail improvements and long-term transformation initiatives like NDC. Our NDC enables us to have swift access to updates to the travel distribution ecosystem and positions us as a partner to these suppliers. Our flexible architecture and deep integration capabilities allow suppliers to roll out new content formats, dynamic pricing models, loyalty logic, and upsell features faster than legacy platforms. By partnering with us, suppliers can test, launch, and evolve their offerings in a controlled and collaborative environment, unlocking speed-to-market and visibility that legacy intermediaries often cannot provide.
