Booking business travel shouldn't be the hardest part of the journey. For many organisations, however, it's often the approval process that causes the biggest delays. A booking request is submitted. An email is sent to a manager. They're out of the office. Someone else needs to approve it. Meanwhile, airfares change, hotel availability decreases and travellers are left waiting for confirmation.
