01 · The Problem
Malta companies travel. A lot.
ICE London. SiGMA Malta. SBC Barcelona. SBC Lisbon. G2E Las Vegas. iGB Live. The iGaming calendar alone sends Malta teams across Europe and beyond — multiple times a year, multiple people per trip, multiple expenses per person.
Then it comes back. Hotel receipts on WhatsApp. Airline confirmations in personal email. Expense claims submitted weeks late, in different currencies, with missing documentation. Finance spends days reconciling what should take minutes. The CEO approves reimbursements for trips that happened last month.
The problem is not the travel. It's everything that happens after the travel.
Navan was built specifically for this. One platform for booking, policy enforcement, expense capture and spend reporting. Employees book through Navan. Policy is enforced at the point of booking, not after the fact. Expenses are captured automatically. Finance sees everything in real time.
02 · The Malta Calendar
Where Malta companies go — every year.
ICE
London · January
The world's largest iGaming event. Every Malta operator sends a delegation. Hotels book out months in advance.
SiGMA
Malta + Dubai + Toronto
The summit that comes to Malta in November and travels globally. Multiple trips, multiple teams, multiple currencies.
SBC Summit
Lisbon + Barcelona
Sports betting and gaming leadership. Malta's regulatory and commercial teams are regulars.
G2E
Las Vegas · October
Global Gaming Expo. US market access, technology partnerships, regulatory intelligence.
iGB Live
Amsterdam · July
The affiliate and operator convergence. Digital acquisition teams, CMOs, affiliate managers.
MiGS
Malta · October
Malta iGaming Summit. The home event — but still requires coordinating travel for international attendees your company hosts.
Six major events. Most Malta iGaming companies attend three to five of them annually. Multiply by team size, add hotels, ground transport and meals — and you have a travel programme that needs proper infrastructure, not a shared spreadsheet.
03 · Core Platform
One platform. Booking, policy, expenses.
Navan
Business Travel · Expense Management · Spend Control
Navan replaces the combination of consumer booking sites, manual expense forms and end-of-month reconciliation with a single platform. Employees book flights and hotels through Navan's inventory — which includes negotiated corporate rates alongside standard consumer inventory. Policy is enforced at the point of booking: out-of-policy selections are flagged before the employee books, not after the finance team notices.
Expenses are captured automatically when employees use the Navan card or log receipts in the app. Finance gets real-time spend visibility — not a month-end surprise. Travel support is available 24/7 for employees who need to rebook, reroute or resolve issues while travelling.
Five people are attending SiGMA. Each books their own hotel on Booking.com. Three use the company card, two use personal cards and claim reimbursement. One books a hotel outside the agreed budget. Nobody submits receipts until the following month. Finance manually reconciles five different bookings, three currencies and twelve receipts — some of which are photos of crumpled paper taken in a hotel corridor.
With Navan: All five book through Navan. The budget limit is enforced at checkout. Cards are the Navan corporate card — expenses captured automatically. Finance sees the full trip spend in real time. Month-end reconciliation takes minutes, not days.

06 · FAQ
Common questions.
What is Navan?
Navan is an all-in-one business travel and expense management platform. It combines flight and hotel booking, ground transport, expense reporting and spend policy enforcement in a single platform — replacing the disconnected combination of booking tools, expense apps and manual approval chains most companies currently use.
Is Navan suitable for Malta-based companies?
Yes. Navan is particularly well-suited to Malta's iGaming, fintech and financial services companies whose teams travel regularly to industry events — ICE in London, SiGMA in Malta and Dubai, SBC in Barcelona and Lisbon. It handles multi-currency expenses, international hotel bookings and team travel policies in one place.
How does Navan handle expense reports?
Navan automates expense reporting by capturing spend data at the point of transaction. Employees book through Navan, expenses are automatically categorised and policy-checked, and finance gets real-time visibility without waiting for end-of-month submissions. Receipt scanning and card integration eliminate manual entry.
Can Navan enforce company travel policy?
Yes — policy enforcement is built into the booking flow. Navan flags out-of-policy bookings before they happen rather than after. Spend limits, preferred suppliers, approval workflows and booking windows can all be configured by the finance or HR team.
How does Navan compare to booking through Booking.com or Expedia?
Consumer booking platforms have no policy enforcement, no expense integration and no visibility for finance. Navan gives the same inventory with corporate rates, policy guardrails, automated expense capture and full spend reporting — plus a dedicated travel support line for employees in transit.
