Corporate travel software for TMCs and in-house travel offices
Give employees a self-booking tool they will actually use, give finance policy enforcement, approvals and spend by cost centre, and give travel managers the data to negotiate and the visibility to look after travellers.
Unmanaged travel costs more than the tickets
When employees book across several tools, negotiated rates go unused, approvals happen after the money is spent and finance reconciles by hand. Nobody can say where travellers are when a disruption hits.
Policy, booking and finance on one record
Orbit puts policy and approvals in front of the booking and records every trip against a cost centre with its approval trail. Cortex shows spend, savings and leakage. Pulse keeps travellers informed and shows the travel manager who is where.
Each product takes one part of the job.
They share one data model, so a booking, a customer or a supplier record moves between them without integration work.

Capabilities that map to the problem.
Policy engine with hard and soft rules
Rules by designation, department, route or budget. Out-of-policy options are hidden, flagged with a reason or allowed with a justification captured for the approver.
Approval workflows
Approval chains by cost centre, amount or trip type, one-click approval from email or the app, and delegation and escalation so trips are not held up by absences.
Self-booking tool employees prefer
Fast search across GDS, NDC and LCC flights, hotels and transfers on mobile and desktop, with policy shown in the results and negotiated rates surfaced first.
Negotiated rates and profiles
Corporate airline and hotel deals loaded as contracts and preferred by policy; employee profiles, departments and cost centres synced from HR through the API.
Spend analytics by cost centre and supplier
Spend, savings and leakage by cost centre, supplier and traveller, negotiated-rate usage and average fares, refreshed as bookings happen and ready for the next negotiation.
Duty of care and traveller messaging
Who is travelling where by trip. Schedule changes and disruptions trigger alerts and rebooking options; check-in prompts, documents and trip pages carry the company’s brand.
What changes for your business.
Bookings inside policy by default
Policy is applied in the results, approvals happen before ticketing and exceptions carry their justification.
Spend visible by cost centre
Every trip lands against a cost centre with its approval trail, so reporting and invoicing need no reconciliation by hand.
Evidence for the next negotiation
Route and supplier volumes, negotiated-rate usage and average fares ready for the airline and hotel conversation.
Start with one product. Add the next when it pays for itself.

- Phase 1
Organisation and policy
Load departments, cost centres, approvers and travellers into Orbit, write the policy and connect negotiated rates.
- Phase 2
Insight
Cortex dashboards for spend, savings and negotiated-rate usage; exports to the finance system.
- Phase 3
Care
Pulse for traveller messaging, disruption alerts and duty of care, under the company’s brand.
Questions about this solution.
Can a TMC run several corporate clients on Orbit?
Yes. Each corporate account has its own policies, approvers, cost centres, negotiated rates and reporting, managed by the TMC from one place.
How do employee profiles and cost centres stay current?
They are synced from the HR system through the API, so joiners, leavers and department changes update approvals and reporting automatically.
What happens when a TMC agent books on behalf of a traveller?
The booking is recorded against the same traveller profile, cost centre and policy as a self-booked trip, so reporting is complete either way, and the TMC’s Vector mid-office invoices it per cost centre.
Can we use our negotiated airline and hotel rates?
Yes. Negotiated rates are loaded as contracts, shown beside public fares and preferred by policy, and Cortex reports how often they are used.
