Overview

Valhalla Corporate Travel lets companies run business travel from one platform: employees book within company rules, travel managers book for others, and spend stays in view.

The starting point

Without a central platform, business travel gets booked in many places at once, and the company's rules and costs are hard to see. Valhalla brings business flights and hotels into one B2B platform, so a company sets its rules once and everyone books inside them.

What we built

Flight and hotel booking, with employee self-booking within company rules and booking on behalf of others for travel managers and arrangers. Corporate flight search returns results across nearby airports, a three-step booking flow starts with choosing the traveller, and fare details show the baggage allowance and fare rules before anyone books. Approvals, travel policies, administration and cost control sit around the booking.

How we worked

We started with the roles: who books, who books for others, who approves and who administers. The booking came next, then approvals and policies, then administration and cost control, then the enterprise integrations.

The technical choices

Role-based access shapes the whole platform, so each person sees and does what their role allows. Fare comparison and spend tracking keep costs in view, and integrations connect booking providers on one side and accounting or ERP systems on the other, so travel data reaches finance without being typed in again.

Where it is now

Valhalla runs as a business travel platform for companies that want flights and hotels booked, approved and managed in one place.

Industries

The same problem, industry by industry.

The industry this project sits in comes first. Pick another to see how the problem shows up there, and what we build for it.

Logistics and travel

The problem

Bookings, changes and documents arrive by email at all hours. The team types them into three systems, and customers call to ask where things stand.

What we build

Booking confirmations read into your systems, documents generated and filed, status updates sent on their own.

The customer knows before they ask.

Healthcare and clinics

The problem

The front desk spends the morning on reminder calls and rebookings. Patient records sit in one system, invoices in another, and nobody sees which patients have quietly stopped coming back.

What we build

Reminders timed to treatment intervals, invoices that post to accounting, and a weekly list of patients due back.

Every patient, every site, one view.

Professional services

The problem

Senior people spend their evenings on time sheets, engagement letters and status reports. Knowledge lives in inboxes, so every new case starts from a blank page.

What we build

Time entries taken from calendars and mail, invoices prepared in your accounting system, client reports assembled on schedule.

Manufacturing

The problem

Orders arrive as PDFs and emails and get typed into SAP by hand. Planning runs on a spreadsheet that one person understands.

What we build

Purchase orders matched to invoices, planning data taken from the shop floor, supplier messages filed against the right order.

Orders that reach SAP without a keyboard.

Retail and e-commerce

The problem

Customer service answers the same twenty questions all day. Returns are processed by hand, and by Friday the shop, the stock and the books disagree.

What we build

Returns processed end to end, stock kept in sync across channels, daily sales posted to accounting.

Finance and insurance

The problem

Applications and claims arrive as documents and get checked by hand against rules everyone knows by heart. Every audit means a week of collecting evidence.

What we build

Document intake, reconciliations and reporting that record every step for the auditor.

Software and SaaS

The problem

The roadmap is full, support tickets keep pulling engineers off it, and the internal tools are scripts nobody owns.

What we build

Onboarding, billing and CRM kept in sync, with the scripts replaced by something your team can maintain.
