Use case: Hotel accommodation

A colleague plans a business trip to Amsterdam for two days.

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.
