From Setup to Confirmation in 8 Steps
A fully governed booking lifecycle with automated workflows, approvals, and complete auditability at every stage.
System Setup
Administrators configure venues, event types, capacity limits, booking rules, roles, workflows, and integrations.
User Access
Users access the system through secure login. Permissions are enforced based on assigned roles.
Event Discovery
Users search events using calendars, filters, and global search. Only valid bookable options display.
Booking Request
Users submit booking requests with required details. Temporary holds prevent conflicts during review.
Workflow Execution
Request enters automated workflow. Simple bookings auto-confirm, complex ones route to approvers.
Approval Handling
Designated approvers review, approve, or reject requests. All actions are logged with timestamps.
Confirmation
Approved bookings are confirmed, calendars updated, and all stakeholders receive notifications.
Post-Booking
Changes, reschedules, or cancellations follow controlled workflows with full auditability.
