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.
