Frequently asked questions about business travel approvals
-
Do I need to book everything on my own?
No, you don’t! You’ll have a designated Travel Manager to help with any of your day-to-day travel requests. We find most customers use Melon for their simple bookings, and then turn to our experts for the tough stuff. Once you have your compliance policies and auto-approvals set up (with the help of your Customer Success Manager), booking is a breeze - no matter how you want to handle it.
-
How can my company streamline travel approvals?
Melon’s automated travel approvals workflow makes it easy to streamline your process. Notify managers, and approve or decline travel requests at a click. Anything that’s attempted to be booked off-policy will warn with an alert and notification. If it’s requested, it’s instantly sent to approvers, and their approval or denial choice is then sent back to the booker in real-time.
-
How do automated travel approvals work?
Either on your own in Melon, or with the help of your Customer Success Manager, you need to start by creating an approval policy to manage your business travel. Once a policy is created, bookings that are within the policy will be automatically approved, saving both bookers and approvers time. Off-policy requests are sent as a separate alert to approvers, where they can instantly choose whether to approve or deny the request.
-
Can we customise approval workflows by role or spend?
Yes, you can. Your travel approval workflow can be customised to fit specific roles or travellers within your organisation. This way, you can ensure that your VIPs and execs get the options they want. Your individual traveller information helps them find spend-appropriate booking options, so they can still travel comfortably and safely within their allotted budget.
-
What visibility do admins get into travel spend and approvals?
Admins get as much visibility as they’d like, since all of your travel spend analytics are collected in Melon for future reference and use in strategising. Create unique reports based around different types of travel spend or approvals, so that you can quickly and easily identify the data you need to start travelling smarter.
