Built for how universities travel

Approvals, guests, invoices and a desk that picks up: the four things a university needs that a company usually does not.

Approvals

Faculty → HOD → Dean → Finance

In a company one approver is usually enough. In a university it rarely is. Set the chain per department or kind of trip, up to four levels; every level approves in one tap and sees the route, date, fare and amount. When a Dean is on leave, approvals go to whoever they name.

Guest lecturers

The guest books. The university pays.

Send a visiting professor a link on WhatsApp or email. They pick a flight inside the policy written on the link, your approvals run, and the university wallet pays. No account for the guest, and no reimbursement to wait for.

Travel desk

One institution, one number, 24/7

On a trip with students, the teacher in charge has no backup. Your institution gets its own number, answered around the clock by a named desk team that already has the trip in front of them, and rebooks inside your approvals.

A conference trip, start to finish

From the request to the flight home, with every approval in between.

The faculty member picks a fare inside the policy and adds the grant or project code. For a visiting speaker, the department sends a guest link instead.

HOD, Dean and Finance approve in turn, each seeing the same route, fare and note.

Once the last level approves, the ticket is issued from the university wallet and the GST invoice goes out in the trust's name.

If anything changes, your desk rebooks inside your approvals and stays on the chat until everyone is home.

Every department and grant on one wallet

Fund one university wallet and split it into budgets for departments, guest lectures, sports and research grants. Each budget stops at its limit, the HOD is warned at 80%, and refunds come back to the wallet.

Can the Registrar see every trip?
Yes. Give the Registrar a view-only role: every department's trips, approvals and invoices, without booking rights.

Yes. You set the levels for each department or kind of trip. Every level approves in one tap by email or on the dashboard, and nothing is booked before the last approval.

Yes. Each level sees the same route, date, fare type and amount, the policy result and the requester's note, so nobody approves blind.

Yes. GST invoices are raised in the registered name of your trust or society, with the institution and department on every invoice.

Your department sends the visiting professor or speaker a link on WhatsApp or email. They pick a flight inside the policy on the link, the request goes through your approvals, and the ticket is paid from the university wallet.

No. The guest does not pay, does not wait for a reimbursement and does not need an account. They receive the e-ticket and your desk's number.

Yes. Add the grant or project code when the trip is requested; it stays on the approval, the invoice and the ledger.

Yes. Conference delegations and sports teams are arranged by your desk: seats together, rooms, local transport and insurance, on one approval.
