“Engine is priceless. It makes everything so much easier.”

Kim H.

Travel Manager

The problem

True Up Companies Travel Manager Kim H. is responsible for booking frequent rooms for the company’s 170+ traveling employees. Kim often spent hours on the phone with hotel sales managers attempting to negotiate pricing for her employee’s stays. Each time her employees traveled, Kim was tasked with the tedious process of filling out credit card authorization forms for each booking. After each trip was completed, she spent hours tracking down and reconciling hotel folios and incidental charges.

The solution

Then True Up found Engine which allowed Kim to streamline the booking process by providing built-in pre-negotiated rates and one central platform for all reservations.

Now, all incidentals are covered up-front by Engine and all incurred incidental charges are billed at a regular interval.
