The true revolution of an agentic platform isn't automating tasks humans already do. The most significant value comes from undertaking critical work that isn't being done at all—because it's too complex, too time-consuming, or simply impossible to perform at scale with human teams.
Virtual workforce scans every transaction in real-time, identifying savings opportunities that quarterly reviews miss entirely
AI agents analyze every transaction, cross-reference every contract term against live market rates continuously
Forecast budget variances, predict compliance issues, and model policy impacts at impossible scale
Each agent is trained for specific T&E management functions, working autonomously as dedicated team members
Contract compliance monitoring and supplier performance optimization
Continuous compliance checks and fraud pattern detection across all transactions
Real-time forecasting and savings opportunity quantification for executive reporting
Unified data analysis and proactive anomaly detection for T&E oversight
Built specifically for T&E complexities—understanding fare structures, PNR details, merchant codes, policy logic, and contract terms. Cogent's agentic framework transforms T&E management from a reactive administrative function into a proactive, strategic, and autonomous operation.
Difficulty unifying TMC, card, and expense data quickly enough to control spend, often requiring tedious manual spreadsheet work.
An ever-vigilant analyst delivering unified workspace for instant answers, proactive alerts on anomalies, and immediate drill-downs into any KPI.
Lack of real-time supplier performance visibility, missed rebate triggers, and needing data-backed negotiation leverage.
A master negotiator's assistant that normalizes vendor data, surfaces scorecards, and models "what-if" scenarios.
Manual sampling catches issues too late; fraud patterns hide in high transaction volumes.
An Audit Co-Pilot working around the clock with continuous compliance checks on 100% of transactions.
Contract terms lost in disparate systems, difficulty tracking renewals, spend deviating from negotiated caps.
A digital archivist that extracts metadata, monitors timelines, and flags deviations from negotiated terms.
Needing accurate, always-current global T&E view and pressure to identify defensible savings targets.
A trusted financial strategist providing up-to-the-minute flash reports and reliable KPI forecasting.
Engage with AI agents using natural language to perform complex analysis and scenario modeling. Ask questions like 'What's our total EMEA air spend in Euros last quarter?' or run what-if scenarios such as 'Show expected savings if we shift 10% of volume from supplier A to supplier B.'
AI agents autonomously scan live spend, contract, and policy data to hunt for savings opportunities. When detected, agents package recommended strategies, estimate potential savings, and present clear action plans for approval—work that's impossible to do manually at scale.
Deploy specialized AI agents that work alongside your teams as a virtual workforce. Each agent has unique expertise—from contract monitoring to fraud detection—operating continuously to perform critical work that was previously impossible due to complexity or scale.
AI agents perform tireless audit assistance with 100% transaction monitoring, checking every expense against policies, historical patterns, and fraud indicators. Transform audit from periodic sampling to continuous, comprehensive oversight.
Go beyond static reports. Ask an agent to "Generate an interactive dashboard showing travel spend vs. budget by department for the last six months." These dashboards can be refined, shared, and embedded directly in the workspace.
Stop searching for problems. Cogent agents provide proactive, intelligent alerts on emerging issues like policy leakage, market volatility, or budget deviations, allowing teams to manage by exception and focus attention where needed most.
Real scenarios showing how agents operate autonomously to create value
An agent identifies that negotiated hotel rates in a key market are underperforming against spot rates and automatically drafts data-backed renegotiation points for the procurement team.
CogentTM detects a gradual increase in out-of-policy premium air bookings and models the financial impact, suggesting a targeted communication campaign to the relevant department.
An agent automatically flags a suspicious pattern of excessive weekend meal expenses charged to a single project code and provides the auditor with all necessary documentation for immediate review.
The CFO asks, "Give me a quarter-to-date T&E vs. Budget report." Cogent instantly generates the report, complete with a narrative summary explaining the key variances.
A category manager quickly surfaces that an airline is consistently missing its On-Time Performance SLA, visualized with an interactive chart showing the impact on traveler productivity.
The sustainability team generates a dashboard focused on CO2 emissions by travel type, region, or department, providing the data needed to track and manage progress toward ESG goals.
Five key differentiators that make Cogent the leader in agentic T&E intelligence
See how your virtual workforce of AI agents operates autonomously to deliver strategic value
A human analyst might review supplier performance quarterly. A Cogent agent scans every single transaction in real-time, 24/7.
Agent Alert:
"Negotiated hotel rate in Berlin underperforming market rate by 15% this week. Identified 23 upcoming bookings. Recommend immediate renegotiation to save estimated $12,400 on current pipeline."
Instead of reporting on last month's budget variance, agents identify emerging patterns to predict future issues.
Agent Alert:
"Detected multiple sales team bookings to Berlin for unannounced conference. Predict 40% T&E budget overrun next month. Recommend negotiating block of 15 hotel rooms now to mitigate $50K excess costs."
