The lowest rate available needs to be co-related to the logic of buying a particular rate at a particular time; alongside considering the convenience and preferences as decided by the organization for the comfort and safety of their employees.

The lowest logical fare in the case of air has the largest dependency on the following
a.  Travel policy mandate on airline of choice (if any) - Preferred and non preferred carriers
b.  Date of travel - Money and time may be lost due to travel on 1 day prior to scheduled task; unless it is a matter of convenience/comfort as laid out by the company
c.  Time of travel - There is a huge dependency on time of travel
d.  Time of arrival - And a dependency on when you wish to arrive
e.  The reason for travel - Maximise the effectiveness of your travel cost
f.  Convenience and comfort as defined by the organization
g.  Service offerings - which are usually dependent on grades and services offered by the supplier

This will depend on your organizations travel policy. In the case of domestic we can show results which start from +1 to -1 hour and can proceed to higher numbers. Which means a search for a 7 am flight will show results between 6 am and 8 am.

Hotel fares should cover the following aspects
a.  Travel policy mandate on approved hotels/ hotel chains to be used - if any
b.  Grade and approved monitory entitlement of the grade
c.  Date of travel and date of departure
d.  City and preferred area of stay
e.  Other hotel properties of equal or better status within the vicinity and their price points
f.  Services included within the room rate

The travel policy of your organization determines the approval mechanics of Click2Book. The organization pre-determines if it will work on an approval process or no approval process.
A reservation request once raised and placed onto the Trip/Cart will either be booked or flow into an approval process; depending on your organization travel policy.
In the case your organization follows an approval process, then the trip will flow to your pre-mapped approver/leader for an approval. Post approval you can proceed with the booking process.

This will depend on the approval matrix provided by your organization
a.&npsp; No approval - look and book
b. &npsp;Single approval - One level
c.&npsp; Multiple approvals - Two or more levels (if required)

Yes, your approver will receive a notification every time you deviate from the lowest rate available.

For every deviation, Click2Book will request you for a logical explanation, which will be presented and tracked by your approver and by your organisation.

In the case Click2Book is integrated with your HRMS (Human Resource Management System) then these changes will be managed automatically. If Click2Book is not integrated to your HRMS, then the process will need to be managed manually.
We will accept an email from the appointed authorities for such changes and will manage them at our back-end.
