Every capability, in depth.
Alfaris Go governs business travel from end to end, from the moment a traveller searches to the audit trail finance reconciles against. Here are all eight pillars in detail, shown on the real neutral web console and the teal traveller app.
Eight pillars, explored.
Jump to any capability. Each one shown on the real product, the neutral web console for teams and the teal app for travellers, no fabricated screens.
Policy enforced at the point of booking
Policy is a rule engine, not a PDF. Spend caps, cabin ceilings, advance-purchase windows and refundable-only requirements run against every option the instant a traveller selects it, on the web console and in the app alike, so the verdict is known before anything is booked, never reconstructed after the money's gone.
- Four explicit verdicts, in policy, out of policy, approval required, or blocked, surfaced inline on every result
- Status is carried by icon and text together, never colour alone, so it survives colour-blindness and greyscale
- The same engine runs at mobile discovery (in / not in policy) and at checkout (in / needs approval / out)
- Out-of-policy choices aren't hidden, they're labelled with the reason, so travellers learn the rule instead of fighting it
Sequential approval chains travellers can follow
Approval chains route each request through exactly the people you nominate, in the order you set: manager, then department head, then finance. The chain is fixed at submit, so a mid-trip reorganisation never rewrites who approved what, and the traveller sees every step in real time.
- Configurable sequential chains, line manager → department head → finance, in your order
- The chain is frozen at submit; later org changes never rewrite an in-flight request's history
- Approvers act in the console; travellers watch each step advance from the app timeline
- Requests are batched into a single digest, one prompt to clear, not a notification per booking
Cost centres, credit line and monthly budgets
Every booking is attributed to the right cost centre and project code as it happens, and tracked against your company's existing credit line rather than scattered personal cards. Monthly budgets draw down live, so a traveller sees what is left before they commit, and finance reconciles one statement instead of chasing receipts.
- Cost-centre and project mapping attached to each trip automatically, not keyed in afterward
- Your existing credit line settles suppliers centrally, no personal cards, no expense float
- Monthly budgets travellers can see drawn down before they commit to a booking
- Receipts move from Awaiting finance to Reconciled against the statement, end to end
Know where every traveller is
Duty of care starts with knowing where everyone is. A single live map shows every traveller on the road right now across the whole account, and any trip drills into dates, destination and the contact details you'd need to reach them, all rendered inline, with no third-party map calls and no traveller data leaving the platform.
- One live view of every active traveller across the account, not per-team silos
- Drill into any trip for dates, destination and reach-out details in one tap
- The map renders inside the platform, no third-party calls, and no traveller location ever leaves
- Built from the same trips finance and approvals already see, one source of truth
Flights, hotels and mixed itineraries
Flights, hotels and combined itineraries all run through one governed flow. A traveller can book a stay, a flight, or a flight-plus-stay as a single trip, and the same policy engine, approval chain and cost-centre mapping apply from the first search result to the confirmation. Brand-neutral inventory shows cabins, codes and rates rather than vendor noise.
- Search and book flights and hotels under one consistent set of rules
- Combine a flight and a stay into a single governed trip, not two disconnected bookings
- Policy, approvals and cost-centre mapping apply identically across every trip type
- Brand-neutral inventory, real cabins, fare codes and rates, no supplier marketing
Spend and compliance you can prove
Reporting turns the trail every booking leaves into proof. Spend by month and policy-compliance trends sit together at a glance, negotiated savings surface against total spend, and every chart is static and accessible, each figure backed by a written value rather than a tooltip you have to hover to read.
- Spend-by-month and policy-compliance trends in a single, comparable view
- Negotiated savings surfaced alongside total spend, not buried in a separate export
- Charts are static and accessible, every figure printed in text beneath, readable without hovering
- Numbers trace back to the same audit-backed trips, so the report is defensible
Your brand, front and centre
White-label puts your identity in front, not ours. Upload a logo and set brand colours once, and the console and the traveller app both carry them through to the confirmation a traveller actually receives. The experience reads as your company travel programme, with Alfaris Go deliberately receding into the background.
- Logo and brand colours applied consistently across the web console and the app
- Confirmations carry your identity, so travellers recognise their own programme
- Set once, propagated everywhere, no per-screen theming to maintain
- Alfaris Go stays intentionally unbranded in the traveller's view
A complete, immutable trail
Audit is the system of record underneath everything else. Every action, who did what and when, is written to a complete, immutable trail across the entire account, filterable by actor, by system event or by date range, with references and codes preserved exactly so any booking, approval or payment can be reconciled long after the trip is over.
- Who, what and when captured for every action across the whole account
- Immutable by design, entries are appended, never edited or quietly removed
- Filter by actor, by system event, or by date range to answer a specific question
- References, codes and amounts preserved precisely for downstream reconciliation
