The Travel Request and Approval System is an efficient solution for handling travel-related workflows, from request submission to expense approvals and payment tracking. This system ensures seamless collaboration between employees, managers, and administrators, offering transparency and ease of use for all stakeholders.

Key Features of the System:

1. Customizable Travel Request Form​

• Employees can submit travel requests with details such as travel type, destination, dates, purpose, and estimated costs.
