About Engine
Engine, formerly known as Hotel Engine, is a travel booking and management platform. It gives organizations access to more than 700,000 eligible hotel rooms across the country, along with rental cars and air fare, all booked and reported in one system instead of through scattered accounts and receipts.
The platform is built to end decentralized travel. Built-in booking controls keep trips inside policy, direct bill options remove the need for staff to front costs, and real-time reporting shows finance exactly where travel money goes, for crews on the road as well as office staff.
