Hotel Audit
Using the AutoLinkII technology platform,
The Eastman Group, Inc. has built a robust, scalable, and flexible Audit and
Reconciliation tool targeted at managing hotel bookings and settlement.
TEGs proprietary software is able to review queued travel bookings within
the various Global Distribution Systems. Hotel Audit validates the elements
of any itinerary against contracted agreements to determine if:
-
the booking was made by or through a preferred travel vendor
-
the proper rate code was loaded and used,
the proper rates were booked
the booking fell within a contracted blackout period
an alternate preferred vendor/property was available
The AutoLink platform builds a SQL database from queued or
messaged booking records; and any actions taken with regard
to applied rules.This data structure is used for reporting and
reconciliation purposes.Financial data from these records can be managed
and reported in any world currency, based on user needs.TEGs
programs audit PreTravel booking records
against predetermined rules supplied by the user to meet
identified contract requirements and milestone
obligations.
The AutoLink tools can reconcile data against other
third party data sources (such as commission payments or
credit card data) to provide end-to-end accountability
for all appropriate contracted travel agreements; or
travel identified by rules for analysis.
The
Eastman Group provides an extensive standard package of
reports that provide summary, detail, and trend analysis; or
the reports can be customized to identify specifically
tailored needs.TEG has enabled dashboard reporting for some
clients via secured website access with unique log-in
IDs for each of user. For the more sophisticated user,the SQL database
can be accessed to build users own reports.
Taking a travel
company as an example, whether your applications and vendors are
using older protocols or modern web services, Hotel Audit
will provide a centralized tool to easily reconcile
pre-travel hotel booking with audited post-travel hotel folio
and/or commission
reports.
The systems are integrated into a set of standardized,
centalized, and normalized data structure that can be
interfaced with existing GDS back-office travel accounting
systems. Below is a
simplified graphic depicting the process flow of the Hotel
Audit functions.
