ApproveThis manages your Thaïs-Hub Integration approvals.

Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge

Modern hotels operate at the intersection of guest experience and operational efficiency. Thaïs-Hub delivers robust booking management and customer data organization, while ApproveThis brings structure to decision-making processes. Together through Zapier, they create closed-loop workflows that eliminate manual handoffs between systems - particularly valuable in an industry where 42% of operational delays stem from approval bottlenecks according to recent hospitality tech surveys.

Where Thaïs-Hub excels at capturing booking details and guest preferences, ApproveThis adds governance layers without slowing down operations. This combination proves essential for hotels balancing compliance requirements with the need for rapid response times in guest services. The integration's real power lies in making approval processes part of existing workflows rather than separate hurdles.

Four Operational Transformations

1. Booking Validation at Scale

When a new group booking appears in Thaïs-Hub, ApproveThis can automatically:

• Route reservations exceeding room block thresholds to revenue managers
• Flag special requests (pet stays, accessibility needs) for department approvals
• Validate corporate rates against current contracts

Real impact: A Barcelona boutique hotel reduced booking errors by 68% by automatically routing non-standard reservations through ApproveThis' conditional workflows. Their front desk team now focuses on guest interactions instead of contract verification.

2. Cross-Department Notifications

Approval decisions in ApproveThis trigger real-time updates in Thaïs-Hub, enabling:

• Housekeeping alerts when VIP welcome packages get approved
• Maintenance dispatches for approved facility upgrades
• Accounting sync for approved vendor payments

Real impact: A ski resort chain eliminated duplicate data entry by connecting approval outcomes directly to Thaïs-Hub's notification system, shaving 23 hours weekly from administrative tasks.

3. Service Booking Governance

Spa packages, tour bookings, and restaurant reservations flowing through Thaïs-Hub can be configured to require approvals based on:

• Staff discount thresholds
• Last-minute inventory changes
• Cross-department resource allocation

Real impact: A Caribbean all-inclusive resort uses calculated fields in ApproveThis to automatically approve standard service bookings while flagging exceptions, maintaining guest experience consistency across 12,000 annual bookings.

4. Audit-Ready Compliance

Every approval decision made in ApproveThis creates timestamped records that sync with Thaïs-Hub's booking data. This dual-system audit trail helps hotels:

• Prove compliance with rate parity agreements
• Demonstrate ADA request handling
• Track staff authorization levels

Real impact: A US hotel group passed a brand standard audit in record time by exporting combined approval/booking records from both systems, demonstrating policy enforcement across 17 properties.

Technical Synergy Through Zapier

The integration uses Zapier's two-way connection:

Thaïs-Hub → ApproveThis
Booking data triggers approval workflows with prepopulated guest details, reservation dates, and service requirements. Approvers receive email notifications with direct approve/reject links - no Thaïs-Hub login required.

ApproveThis → Thaïs-Hub
Approval decisions update booking records and trigger operational next steps. A denied upsell approval might automatically remove spa credits from a reservation, while approvals can unlock premium room assignments.

Implementation Essentials

1. Create Zapier connections for both platforms
2. Map Thaïs-Hub booking fields to ApproveThis templates
3. Configure approval rules based on booking types
4. Set up Thaïs-Hub notifications for approval outcomes

Most hotels launch initial workflows in under 3 hours using prebuilt templates from both platforms.

Department-Specific Benefits

Revenue Management

Automatically escalate high-value group bookings while approving standard reservations instantly. ApproveThis' thresholds ensure rate integrity without micromanaging every reservation.

Guest Services

Front desk teams see approved special requests directly in Thaïs-Hub with context from approval comments. No more chasing managers for clarification during check-in rushes.

Finance Teams

Connect approved vendor payments to Thaïs-Hub's folio system while maintaining separation of duties. Approval records include exact timestamps and authorizations for month-end reconciliation.

Strategic Advantages

Beyond operational efficiency, the integration delivers:

Brand Protection: Ensure all customer-facing commitments pass through proper channels before appearing in Thaïs-Hub's systems.

Partner Enablement: Let tour operators and corporate clients submit bookings directly while maintaining approval control through calculated fields and conditional workflows.

Scale Preparation: Approval rules that work for 100 bookings/day adapt seamlessly to 1,000 bookings/day without additional hires.

Getting Started

1. Register for ApproveThis (free 14-day trial)
2. Connect your Thaïs-Hub account via Zapier
3. Clone prebuilt hospitality templates
4. Test with live booking data

Most hotels see full ROI within 45 days through reduced operational errors and faster approval cycles. The integration particularly shines for properties managing:

• 100+ weekly bookings
• Multiple revenue streams (rooms, F&B, events)
• Complex approval hierarchies across locations

Why This Combination Works

Thaïs-Hub provides the operational system of record, while ApproveThis adds the human decision layer. Unlike rigid PMS approval modules, this integration offers:

• Flexible Escalation: Auto-approve 80% of standard bookings while routing exceptions
• External Collaboration: Involve third-party planners in approvals without Thaïs-Hub access
• Real-Time Adaptation: Modify approval rules instantly as occupancy rates change

It's not about adding more process - it's about making existing processes work smarter.

Next Steps for Hotel Teams

The integration works best when aligned with specific operational pain points. Start with:

1. Booking exception handling
2. Rate approval workflows
3. Complimentary service authorization
