Corporate self-booking tool
Give your corporate accounts a booking tool their finance team will actually approve of — and stop losing mandates to whichever competitor already offers one.
For TMCs and corporate travel desksWhat you get
Everything in corporate self-booking.#
Policy and approval
- Policy engine with grade-wise cabin class, fare caps, advance-purchase windows and hotel star limits
- Single, multi-level and conditional approval workflows
- Approvals by email, WhatsApp or the dashboard, with reminders and escalation
- Out-of-policy booking with reason capture and approver override
- Different policies per entity, department, grade or trip type
- Pre-trip approval separate from booking approval where the client needs both
Finance and billing
- Cost centres, projects, employee IDs and GL codes captured on every booking
- Monthly consolidated billing with a per-client invoice format
- BTA and lodge card handling, with credit-period tracking
- Tax-compliant invoicing per jurisdiction, including GST and VAT
- Advance, deposit and prepaid balance models per client
- Direct export to the client's expense or ERP system
Travellers
- Profiles with passport, visa, frequent flyer numbers and meal preference
- Guest and non-employee booking for candidates, consultants and family
- Traveller groups so an assistant can book for a defined set of people
- Document expiry alerts before they become a boarding problem
- Duty-of-care view: who is travelling where, right now
- Emergency contact and traveller-tracking export
Reporting the client will ask for
- Spend dashboards by department, route, vendor, traveller and month
- Missed-saving reports showing what policy compliance would have saved
- Policy-compliance and approval-turnaround reports
- Vendor performance data to take into airline and hotel negotiations
- Advance-booking-window analysis by department
- Scheduled reports delivered before the quarterly review, not after
What changes: You win corporate mandates on capability rather than on discount.
Questions about this#
Can each corporate client have its own policy and its own look?
Yes. Every client gets its own login, policy set, approval chain, negotiated fares, invoice format and reporting. You can also apply the client's own logo and colours to their portal if the relationship warrants it.
Do negotiated corporate fares show alongside public fares?
They do. Corporate and negotiated fares are loaded as their own supplier and appear in the same result set, so the traveller sees the saving rather than having to trust that it exists. You control whether public fares are shown at all.
How does the approval flow handle someone who is on leave?
Approvers can nominate a delegate, and the workflow escalates automatically after a configurable wait. Bookings pending approval past the fare's hold deadline trigger a warning to both the traveller and the desk.
