Arrangement has many meanings, interpretations, understandings even. To arrange is to organise, to make a plan, to put into action. To book, to schedule - to arrange.
Travel Arrangers are essentially the assistant to the traveller, booking on their behalf, making arrangements in their name. A Travel Arranger can be one single person with one single traveller, or a Travel Arranger can be multiple people, covering thousands of employees.
They are the designated arranger, the go-to for all things travel. And as the Company Administrator in the Locomote Corporate Travel Platform, you have complete control over what your Travel Arranger can do, and what travellers are assigned to them. It's up to you to properly monitor and manage not only the data of travel requests, but to manage the profiles and the people who submit those requests.
Within the administrator Dashboard you will notice (if you haven't already) a sub-heading titled "Assign Travellers To" and within these modules, you can assign Travellers to anything, from Cost Centres or Employee Groups. If needed you can also remove Travellers from their preferred or specified modules.
