Flight Path by Tern

Invoicing & Identity: A Big Step Forward


Listen Later

Welcome back to Flight Path—the podcast where the Tern team shares what’s new, what’s launching, and what’s ahead in the world of travel tech.In this episode, David (CEO), Molly (Head of Product), and Brad (Head of Design) take you behind the scenes on one of the most requested and complex features Tern has ever built: invoicing.

From shifting product perspectives to learning directly from advisors, this episode is a deep dive into how great software is born—not just from ambition, but from listening.

Also in this episode: brand color customization is now live! Brad reveals the math (yes, math!) and thoughtful UI tweaks that ensure every client-facing element reflects your unique brand, from buttons to hover states.

Plus, a sneak peek at what’s coming next—from library folders and group occupancy logic to the upcoming May 15 webinar (and how sharing it could win you a cabin at the user conference).

Whether you're a Tern power user or curious about how vertical SaaS platforms are reshaping travel operations, this episode is for you.
