Venues & arrangements

We can book it for you. Or you can bring your own.

Every meeting picks its path when it's created. Mix both across your teams: metro meetings through our concierge, small-town ones with the local hotel your rep already knows.

Roundtable Concierge

Request a venue. We do the rest.

Tell us the city, date, headcount and budget per cover. Our team sources options, negotiates, and posts quotes straight into the meeting for your approvers.

  1. 1

    Raise the request

    City, date, guests, room style, food, AV, budget per cover.

  2. 2

    Compare quotes

    Typically two to three options, with photos, inclusions and cancellation terms.

  3. 3

    Approve and confirm

    Your approvers pick one. We confirm the booking and attach the invoice and venue paperwork.

  4. 4

    On the day

    Catering, AV, standees and printed material arranged and checked.

Your own arrangements

Already have a venue? Use it.

Your rep enters the venue and vendors they've lined up. Roundtable still handles the approvals, the document checks and the payments, so control doesn't depend on who booked.

Pay the venue directly

Hospital or hotel invoice, with PAN and cancelled cheque on file

Venue

Pay a third-party vendor

Caterer, AV company, speaker honorarium

Third party

Reimburse the manager

Rep pays on the spot, uploads bills, gets reimbursed

Manager

Your policy, enforced

Admins choose which payee types are allowed and which documents each one needs before an advance or final payment can be released.

Finance

Money moves when the proof is in.

Finance sees one queue across every division: what's approved, what's waiting on a document, and what's been paid, with the bank reference.

Advance payments

Money up front, so the meeting can actually happen.

Venues want a deposit. Reps shouldn't fund it themselves. Request an advance with the meeting, approve it in the same chain, and Finance releases it before the date.

  • Advance and final, tracked separately
  • Pay the venue or the organiser
  • Proof and bank reference saved
  • Optional, amount set per meeting
RTM-1042 · The Orchid, Baner₹1,79,400 total

    While planning

    Ask for an advance

    Tick “Advance required” and set the amount, say 50% of the venue.

    Balance settled

    The final payment clears what's left, against the invoice and bills.

    ₹1,33,200 final

Payment alerts

Reps, managers and Finance are notified the moment an advance or final payment is released.

Document gates per payee

Venue needs invoice + PAN + cheque. Honorarium needs receipt. You decide, the system blocks release until it's there.

Reconciliation flag

Allow manager reimbursements to clear with missing bills if you choose, flagged for reconciliation instead of lost.

Budgets by territory

Quarterly budgets per HQ and division. Requests show what's left before they're submitted.

Your org, mirrored

Approvals follow your reporting line.

Import your roster once. Roundtable builds the approval chain from who reports to whom, across as many divisions as you run.

  • Multiple divisions

    One org, separate teams and budgets. Leaders can span several.

  • Role-based access

    Reps, managers, head office, finance, admin, read-only viewers.

  • Edit before submit

    Managers can correct a draft before it enters the chain.

  • Change requests

    Approved meetings can be amended with a tracked request.

Roundtable mobile Approvals screen: two meetings waiting on Head Office with Return and Approve buttons, and the tab bar with a centre Create button

In the field

Approve from the car park.

Reps and managers live on their phones. Everything they do in Roundtable, from raising a meeting to approving one, takes a tap or two.

  • Installs like an app

    Add to home screen on Android or iPhone. No app store, no IT ticket.

  • Sign in without passwords

    Google sign-in or a passkey with Face ID and fingerprint.

  • Nudged at the right time

    The next approver is notified the moment it's their turn.

  • Upload proof on the spot

    Photos, bills and attendance straight from the phone camera.

Included in every plan

And the details that make it stick.

The small things your admins, finance team and auditors will thank you for.

Control & audit

For finance, compliance and auditors.

  • Version history

    Every edit on a meeting: who, when and what changed.

  • Activity log

    Org-wide feed of approvals, payments and sign-ins.

  • Excel export

    Meetings, payments and attendees, ready for month-end.

  • Payee rules

    Allowed payee types and required documents per org.

People & access

  • Bulk roster import

    Upload your people sheet, reporting lines included.

  • Google & passkey sign-in

    No passwords to hand out if you'd rather not.

  • Read-only viewers

    Visibility for leadership and auditors, no edit rights.

  • Notifications

    Email alerts to the next approver and to Finance.

Rollout & brand

Questions, answered.

Anything else, ask us directly. A person reads every message.

Is Roundtable only for pharma round table meetings?+

It was built around them, but it works for any company whose field teams run approved customer meetings with a budget: CMEs, dealer meets, product launches, training sessions.

Do we have to use your venue concierge?+

No. Each meeting chooses: request a venue from us, or enter your own venue and vendors. Approvals, documents and payments work the same either way.

How does the approval chain get set up?+

From your roster. We import who reports to whom, and the chain builds itself per meeting. Admins and head office can adjust people, roles and divisions from the app at any time.

Can Finance control what gets paid and when?+

Yes. You choose the allowed payee types (venue, third party, manager) and which documents each needs before an advance or final payment can be released.

Does it work on phones?+

Yes. It installs to the home screen on Android and iPhone, and every approval, upload and status check works on mobile.

How is our data kept separate from other companies?+

Every company is its own tenant, isolated at the database row level. Your data is never visible to another organisation.

What does it cost?+

Pricing depends on team size and whether you use the venue concierge. Tell us about your setup and we'll send a proposal.

Let's map your meetings.

Tell us how your field meetings run today. We'll come back within one working day with a walkthrough on your own approval rules, and a proposal if it fits.
