eSignature
Secure electronic signing for supplier and internal approvals with audit records and signature authentication options, enabling compliant sign-off without paper and reducing approval cycle times for ticketing and vendor invoices.
Electronic invoices and signatures are legally recognized under U.S. laws such as ESIGN and UETA when intent, consent, and reliable recordkeeping are maintained, providing valid proof for supplier agreements and payment authorizations.
The Finance Manager oversees invoice approvals, reconciliation procedures, and reporting. They configure approval thresholds and retention rules, review exception reports, and coordinate with suppliers to resolve disputed charges while ensuring compliance with internal controls and tax requirements.
Travel Operations staff submit supplier invoices, validate itinerary charges, and confirm booking references. They use templates and extraction tools to submit invoices correctly, escalate exceptions to finance, and maintain supplier contact records for timely resolution.
Consolidated workflows reduce manual touchpoints, improve visibility across bookings-to-pay processes, and support faster, auditable supplier settlements.

Comprehensive, tamper-evident logs capturing views, edits, signings, IP addresses, and timestamps to support disputes, chargeback investigations, and compliance audits in travel finance operations.
Native connectors and APIs for CRS, GDS, accounting systems, and cloud storage to automate invoice ingestion and reconciliation, reducing data entry and aligning bookings to billings across platforms.
Two-way integration with Google Docs and Sheets allows teams to generate invoice drafts from booking exports, populate templated fields automatically, and save signed documents to shared drives while maintaining consistent metadata and access controls across travel and finance teams.
Connectors for common CRMs and ERPs synchronize supplier records, customer billing data, and invoice status, allowing reconciliations to update accounting ledgers automatically and reducing duplicate data entry between travel platforms and finance systems.
Direct exports to Dropbox, Box, and similar services provide secure archival with folder-level access controls and lifecycle rules, making it simple to meet retention policies and retrieve signed invoices for audits.
