The travel industry has always been built on partnerships, but the most complicated part of this cooperation — commission management — often turns into complete confusion.
Unstructured records, different commission percentages, inconsistent Excel sheets, delayed payments, and worst of all — lack of trust between partners.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Most travel companies still manage commissions manually, relying on human memory and spreadsheets.
In the 21st century, this approach is simply unacceptable.
Digital ecosystems — especially systems like Travacco ERP — have revolutionized the way agencies handle commissions. It’s not just software; it’s a new culture of commission management.
1. Anatomy of Commission Confusion
Every travel operation involves several parties: a tour operator, sub-agent, flight supplier, hotel, transfer company, and sometimes even insurance or visa service providers.
Each one gets a share of the revenue. But the problem isn’t just in the percentage — it’s in the domino effect of inconsistencies.
A single 3% error by one agent can cause debt for another, and eventually lead to accounting imbalance.
A few thousand dollars can disappear simply because of one small Excel mistake.
And at the root of it all is a familiar mindset: “We handle it ourselves.”
But “handling it ourselves” usually means no system, no consistency — just accumulating errors.
2. Manual Calculations: The Hidden Threat
Manual commission tracking is common. Excel files, email confirmations, messages with negotiated percentages — all seem harmless at first, but in reality, they’re a ticking time bomb for both finance and reputation.
Consequences of manual management:
- Duplicated transactions
- Incorrect dates
- Mismatched percentages
Delayed reporting
This kind of management damages a company’s reputation for transparency.
Partners stop trusting your system — they trust you not to make a mistake.
That’s a dangerous kind of faith.
3. Lack of Transparency and Erosion of Trust
In tourism, trust can be more valuable than price.
If an agency can’t see their real commission rates, partnerships don’t last.
Lack of transparency typically shows up in three ways:
- Conflicting data: finance says one thing, sales says another.
- Manual edits: contracts change, but spreadsheets don’t.
- Hidden rates: some agents get higher percentages, but no one knows why.
When this happens, growth slows down — because no one trusts the numbers.
Partnerships break down, conflicts grow, and profits shrink.
4. Travacco ERP: The New Era of Commission Management
That’s where Travacco ERP comes in.
