We develop  various levels of automation to fit your company’s goals and culture.  Our pre-trip approval solutions are designed to eliminate the pain associated with trip approvals and help you create an effortless process that improves the  traveler experience.  Automating the process greatly reduces  the need for manual approval.  The results are significant elevation in travel program adoption and drastic reduction in travel spend each year.

After introducing the first automated pre-trip authorization software back in 2003, we perfected the tool over the last 20 years. The introduction of the AI-driven rules engine in 2020 redefined what is possible in travel policy compliance management and confirmed Authorizer AI as the most advanced, comprehensive, and effective tool on the market.

The platform is used by over 2,200 global corporations in over 150 countries. The Trondent Development team continues to innovate and bring exciting new features, determined to consistently deliver greater value for our clients.

Introducing Artificial Intelligence to Pre-Trip Approval

Authorizer AI utilizes a forward-chaining rules engine capable of handling even the most complex travel policy and process requirements.  The rules engine considers a multitude of facts originating with PNR contents and corporate travel policy, and extends to other relevant facts obtained by data feeds or web services calls into corporate ERP systems, risk management providers, weather, government resources, or the results of rule execution, delivering unprecedented capabilities in the automation of pre-trip authorization.

Authorizer AI evaluates travel bookings and generates decisions in a way similar to humans.  Unlike binary decision workflows, which process exclusively True/False type rules, we can now offer highly diverse rule types giving travel managers the ability to implement even the most subtle of variances in their travel policy and allowing for the most customized approach to managing compliance.  This makes it easy to satisfy the needs of all your travelers while keeping the travel budget in check.

Authorizer PRO Advanced

Authorizer PRO Advanced facilitates the pre-trip authorization process for companies with a complex travel policy. Our team works closely with the client to create a custom trip authorization workflow reflecting their unique requirements, policy and process. A robust rules engine allows for the implementation of unlimited number of advanced rules, unlimited number of approvers and facilitates complex booking scenarios with its rule-chaining capabilities.

Authorizer PRO Basic

Authorizer PRO Basic serves corporations with a simple travel policy and trip authorization process. The solution offers basic automation of the authorization of trip requests in which all trips are forwarded for manual approval. It allows for the implementation of single or multi-level sequential decision workflows, as well as single or multi-level shotgun workflows.

An email notification including all relevant trip information is sent to the Approver. The Approver has the option of submitting a secure, on-the-go decision directly from email or via a website. Once a decision is entered, the traveler is notified and can proceed booking the trip or making required changed.

Comprehensive Reporting

Authorizer AI brings new possibilities to the reporting we provide.  Would you like to know what types of violations are most commonly made by your travelers?  Or which travelers are consistently violating policy, and which rules they break? Or which policy rules are most often “overruled” by your approvers, by whom and how often? What is the average amount of deviation from 100% policy compliance for your company?  How do you compare to the averages of other clients?  These are just a few examples of the types of data analysis you can find in our new reporting tool.  As always, our goal is to give you real-time, practical information helping you see the full picture, make timely adjustments when necessary and elevate the efficiency of your travel program. Enhanced reports including Scorecard Reports, provide insight and greater detail into the booking and approving behaviors of individuals and the entire organization.

Trondent Direct API

While Trondent’s solutions work with all major GDS’s worldwide, many TMC clients look for better ways to manage the approval process for non-GDS bookings. Our API provides a direct integration between the TMC and Trondent’s systems – allowing trip data to automatically flow into the approval process. These bookings may originate in non-traditional GDS’s, such as Travel Sky and Sirena, that Trondent does not integrate with currently. They also might come from any non-GDS online booking tools for reservations on air, hotel, train, etc. Or, they could originate from instant purchase carriers as well as trips which originate with consolidators outside of the major GDS’s. The TMC automatically converts the PNR data to the proper format so the data is received by Trondent’s API and forwarded for approval based on the client’s process requirements. Using Trondent Direct API can also minimize the number of GDS hits for traditional GDS’s such as Sabre, Apollo, and Worldspan.

Trondent Direct API facilitates the processing of non-GDS trip data for our itinerary solution, AirWEB Express, and our group travel solution – GroupASSIST.
