# Protect the Plan: *Smarter Hotel Purchasing Before the Money is Spent*

**Kyle Summers**, Inn-Flow Director of Product – Accounting, and **Victoria Westnedge**, Inn-Flow Manager, Partnerships & Sales Operations, guide you through a live look at how to protect the budget you just built — not just at the planning stage, but every time your team makes a purchase.

In this session, you'll learn:

- Real budget vs. actual spend the moment a purchase is made, with Accounting and Procurement fully connected.
- The ways that purchasing decisions can influence monthly budget drift.
- How to use the AI Cart Optimizer to automatically surface better pricing and bundled deals.
