Frequently asked questions
What is workforce travel management software?
Workforce travel management software is a platform that lets a company find, book, schedule, pay for, and report on lodging and transportation for crews on the ground. It is different from corporate travel software because it is built for rotating shifts, remote job sites, project-based cost coding, and last-minute changes, not for individual business travellers filing expense reports.
How is LodgeLink different from a corporate travel platform?
Most corporate travel management solutions are built around individual business travellers and expense reports. LodgeLink is built around crews on the ground, where the same team stays across multiple projects, where cost codes and cost centers matter more than expense reports, and where a booking might need to change five times before a crew arrives on site.
Can LodgeLink handle both individual and group crew bookings?
Yes. LodgeLink handles single-room reservations and group bookings of up to 100 rooms per booking on the same platform. Group and specialized bookings can also be handed off to the LodgeLink Specialized Bookings team at no extra cost.
Does LodgeLink integrate with our accounting or ERP system?
Yes. Reports export to Excel, PDF, and CSV and can feed into common ERPs and accounting systems, with Tracking Codes and cost centers preserved on every booking. Consolidated invoicing replaces hundreds of individual hotel invoices with one monthly invoice, coded to your GL and cost centers.
Can LodgeLink enforce our internal travel policy on bookings?
Yes. LodgeLink supports rate caps, approval workflows, preferred-supplier lists, and role-based permissions so bookings stay inside the boundaries your finance and procurement teams set.
How does LodgeLink combine crew travel booking, payments, and reporting?
The platform handles lodging search, room booking, crew scheduling, air and ground transportation, supplier payments, and reporting from the same workflow. Instead of using a booking site, a corporate account, a spreadsheet, and a separate reporting tool, workforce companies handle all of it in one place.
