Only 27.4% of Spanish companies use a solution that centralizes multiple corporate mobility services, even though 97.4% consider it useful to unify in a single platform the management of travel, expenses, invoicing, and sustainability data. This is revealed by the Corporate Mobility Barometer 2026, released today by Joinup.
The study highlights that mobility is a daily necessity for organizations, but its management remains characterized by fragmentation. While 71.6% of companies travel daily or several times per week, 35.7% still work with different providers and 23.3% manage trips through expense notes and reimbursements, which makes it difficult to control and improve process efficiency.
The Cost of Fragmented Mobility
The lack of service integration has direct consequences on how organizations operate. According to the Barometer, 58.7% of companies point to rising costs and loss of financial control among the main impacts of poorly managed mobility, followed by the loss of administrative time (49.1%), the deterioration of the experience for employees, customers, or guests (44.7%), and increased worker stress (43.1%). Moreover, 50.3% of companies acknowledge that their mobility works, but still presents numerous frictions.
This situation also affects professionals’ productivity. 77.6% spend at least 15 minutes per week organizing, justifying, or resolving tasks related to their business travel, while 38% invest half an hour or more. Among the main sources of stress are handling incidents during trips (36.9%), worrying about arriving on time to meetings or visits (34.6%), and the lack of coordination among teams (33.6%).
Toward a More Centralized Management
In light of this scenario, organizations are demanding tools that simplify managing their mobility. The most valued features are the ability to track trips by employee, department, or cost center (42.1%), centralized invoicing (41.9%), and access to different services from a single app (41.7%). However, only 16.1% of companies currently receive centralized invoicing from a single provider, and 20.3% continue to rely on models where the employee pays upfront and then submits an expense report.
Interest in moving toward integrated models is nearly universal: 97.4% of companies and 97.2% of professionals consider centralizing mobility, expenses, invoicing, and sustainability to be very or fairly useful. Nevertheless, the complexity of integration with internal systems (25.1%) and budget constraints (23.1%) are among the main barriers to adopting this type of solution.
Human Support and Experience, Priorities
Digitization has not diminished the importance of human support during trips. In fact, 94.2% of professionals consider it very or fairly important to have 24-hour human assistance to resolve incidents, beyond automated solutions. Speed and availability of service (58.2%), punctuality (55.2%), and safety and comfort (52.2%) are among the aspects most valued by users.
In this context, companies and professionals agree on placing the improvement of the employee experience as the most impactful action on corporate mobility, albeit with different needs. While organizations prioritize centralizing services and having information to control spending, workers demand greater availability and coverage. These data reflect the evolution toward a model in which corporate mobility is no longer understood solely as transportation but as a tool for efficiency, control, and employee well-being.
“Corporate mobility continues to advance and has become strategic for companies. It is no longer just a transportation issue; it is a matter of efficiency, experience, and control,” says Elena Peyró, CEO and cofounder of Joinup.
