Customer Testimonial

We transitioned from a decentralized, reimbursement-based process to the TravelPlus platform, enabling employees to conveniently book travel anytime, anywhere using the TravelPlus mobile app. With real-time visibility into travel and accommodation expenses, Commercial and HR teams are better equipped for effective spend management. The platform further ensures automated policy compliance and seamless GST-compliant invoicing, driving both efficiency and governance.

Situation

With a large on-ground sales force operating across metro cities, small towns, and remote markets, Jyothy Labs manages hundreds of employee trips every month. Travel needs vary significantly — from budget hotels in smaller towns to standard business accommodations in metros. Previously, the organization operated a decentralized, reimbursement-led travel process where employees booked their own hotels and local transport, and the Commercial teams processed reimbursements later. This approach resulted in:

  • Limited visibility into real-time travel spends and policy compliance.
  • Manual reimbursement cycles, leading to delays and increased administrative load.
  • Inconsistent supplier choices, often affecting cost optimization and quality of stay.

Overall, the process demanded substantial time and effort to manage travel efficiently and ensure governance.

Solution

TravelPlus brought structure, visibility, and automation to Jyothy Labs' nationwide travel program. As an enterprise-grade, GST-compliant travel platform, TravelPlus replaced decentralized reimbursements with a centralized, cashless travel system. Key elements of the rollout included:

  • A customized platform enabling employees to instantly book flights, and hotels across categories — all within company-approved budgets and policies.
  • Centralized dashboards for HR, Admin, and Commercial teams, offering real-time visibility into bookings, spends, and compliance.
  • Automated policy enforcement and approval workflows to ensure every booking stayed within guidelines.
  • Single-vendor GST invoicing, eliminating the need for employees to collect hotel bills and enabling Jyothy Labs to claim 100% GST input credit.
  • 24x7 human concierge support, ensuring smooth travel even from remote or low-connectivity regions.

The result was a fully digital, transparent travel process that saved time, brought in efficiency and employee convenience.

  • Automated compliance checks and faster approvals.
  • High adoption rate across distributed sales teams.
  • Reduction in commercial workload and processing time.
  • Easy booking access for employees from 50,000+ domestic hotels, even in remote regions.
