Bookings, in.Spreadsheets, out.

TripConnect is the firm's TMC handshake. Direct ingest from your travel management company's booking system, the booking record reaches us before the traveller has landed. No manual exports, no spreadsheets in transit, no version mismatches.

Why timing is the whole game

Before the invoice exists. That is the point.

Most travel-GST recovery work happens months after the booking, on invoices that are already wrong. TripConnect intervenes earlier, at the booking moment itself, so problems are caught before they become invoices. Here is the booking moment captured as it unfolds inside TravelSuite.

t = 0s
In your TMC
Booking made

Traveller or admin completes the booking in the TMC console. PNR is generated; the booking record is now live in the TMC's system.

t + 2s
TripConnect
Record received

The booking arrives via the TMC's webhook or push API. Acknowledged, persisted, indexed by PNR.

t + 3s
TripConnect
Entity matched

The booking's cost centre and policy code are matched against your entity map to identify the correct buying GSTIN.

t + 5s
TripConnect
Policy checked

Fare class, cabin, route, and corporate policy verified. Out-of-policy bookings flagged for finance, not blocked.

t + 8s
TripConnect → SkyDoc
Pre-staged

The booking is queued in SkyDoc's pre-stage. When the carrier invoice arrives days later, it will match to this record in milliseconds.

All of this happens before the traveller has cleared check-in. The window between booking and invoice, usually days, sometimes weeks, becomes time the firm has already spent preparing the right side of the ledger.

The leak TripConnect prevents

Wrong entity at booking · wrong GSTIN on the invoice.

In multi-entity groups, this is the most common silent ITC leak. The booking is made against a default entity, the carrier raises the invoice against that GSTIN, and your tax desk can't claim the credit. TripConnect intercepts at booking.

The TMC universe in India

Three categories. Different connections, honest about which.

India corporate travel runs through a small set of TMCs. Each has its own booking system, its own integration surface, and its own readiness to talk to a third party. Here is where the firm actually stands across the three categories.

TripConnect is optional
If your TMC isn't on this list, or isn't yet integration-ready, the engagement still runs, SkyDoc captures from carrier portals and finance records without TripConnect. The booking-time signal is an enhancement, not a dependency. Where it is available, the firm gets ahead of the wrong-entity leak; where it isn't, the firm catches the same leaks at the invoice stage.
Diagnostic checks readiness
The engine comes with the engagement

See if your TMC is integration-ready.

During the diagnostic, we check whether TripConnect can be enabled for your specific TMC and what the integration window looks like.
