Booking change requests
Read incoming requests to change dates, rooms, guests or services, check them against availability and your change policy, and draft a reply for an agent, with exceptions routed to the right person.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A guest or travel partner asks to change or cancel a booking by email, form or chat.
How it runs today
- Agents look up each booking, policy and availability by hand.
- Simple changes wait in the same queue as complicated ones.
- Replies quote fees and policies inconsistently.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Read
Identify the booking, the change requested and the guest’s contact details.
- 02 / Check
Look up availability, rates and the change or cancellation policy that applies.
- 03 / Draft
Draft a reply with the options and any fees, quoting the policy wording.
- 04 / Route
An agent approves routine replies; refunds, complaints and policy exceptions go to a supervisor.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- An agent approves every reply before it is sent.
- Refunds, complaints and policy exceptions are decided by a person.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Time from request to reply.
Share of drafts sent with light edits.
Replies corrected for wrong fees or policy.
