AirPlus Data Enrichment
Your fully automated data integration solution of your AirPlus Virtual Cards
Use case: Hotel accommodation
A colleague plans a business trip to Amsterdam for two days.
They need to book both their flights and hotel accommodation for their visit.
The settlement process of a hotel booking is time consuming in the daily routine of travel arrangers and business travelers. With AirPlus Data Enrichment every step – booking, payment and settlement – can be optimized.
Smarter Payment. Better Business.
Use case: Meetings & events
The Sales Executive Assistant needs to book a room for an upcoming sales meeting.
As well as booking the meeting room, they will need to book catering too.
Once again, while the payment process of meeting and event bookings may be routine for a lot of event managers, the booking, payment and settlement are often done manually and could be optimized further.
