Platform — Policy & Approvals

Approvals before spend is committed. Every time.

Most travel programs have a policy document. Fewer have a policy system. Cinturon360 is the latter — route bookings to the right approvers, enforce rules at the point of booking, and maintain a defensible audit trail for every decision.

The problem

Policy exists. Enforcement doesn't.

The travel policy document gets reviewed annually, distributed to staff, and promptly ignored. Bookings happen before approvals. Approvals happen in email threads with no record. Finance reviews spend after it's already been committed, not before.

The result: compliance is unverifiable, exceptions are untracked, and audit requests become manual investigation projects.

How Cinturon360 solves it

Policy and approval logic is built into the booking intake flow — not bolted on after the fact. Rules are configured at the platform level, applied consistently across every booking, and enforced before spend is committed.

Approval chains are configured by entity, team, traveller category, cost centre, destination, supplier, fare class, or spend threshold. When a booking triggers an approval requirement, the right people are notified immediately. Decisions are recorded with timestamps, actor IDs, and justifications.

Exception handling that actually works

Out-of-policy bookings aren't simply blocked. The platform supports structured exception paths — travellers can request approval for an out-of-policy choice, record a justification, and trigger an escalation path. The outcome is logged regardless of whether it was approved or rejected.

Built for complex programs

Enterprise organisations with multi-entity approval chains, different rules per business unit, and executive exception carve-outs. Government agencies with defensible record requirements. Cinturon360 handles both — and the many structures in between.

Audit-grade records

Every approval, rejection, escalation, and exception is stored with full context. When an auditor asks who approved a booking, why, and when — the answer is already in the system, not in someone's inbox.

Policy that's enforced, not aspirational.
