Operations manager struggles to book and track travel for non-employees (candidates, contractors, board members) because they lack access to the corporate booking tool, resulting in personal card charges, manual expense report reconciliation, and poor spending visibility for finance.

Workarounds Described

• Books guest travel on personal credit card and submits expense report
• Manually reviews personal card statements line by line to identify candidate travel spend

Implied Software Gaps

• Corporate travel booking tool with guest checkout that doesn't require user accounts
• Automated expense categorization and reporting for non-employee travel

GuestTrip

GuestTrip is a travel booking and expense management platform for non-employee travelers. It allows operations staff to book flights and accommodations for guests without creating full user accounts, automatically coding each expense to the relevant guest and department, and providing real-time reporting for finance. This eliminates personal card reimbursement and manual reconciliation.
