Technologies
Self-service booking engines provide consumer-grade travel search with real-time policy compliance. AI suggests cost-effective alternatives and predicts optimal booking timing. Automated expense management captures receipts through photos, categorizes spending, and generates reimbursement. Policy engines encode complex travel rules (hotel rates by city, class of service by trip type, preferred vendors) and enforce them at booking. Duty-of-care modules track traveler locations and enable mass communication during emergencies. Carbon tracking calculates emissions per trip for sustainability reporting. Analytics dashboards visualize spending patterns, compliance rates, and savings opportunities.
