Deposits tracked in spreadsheets, reconciled by memory.
Three installments per traveler, eight travelers per trip, twelve departures this season. That is 288 payment events you are tracking manually.
You did not start a travel business to chase bank transfers.
But here you are. Sunday night. Spreadsheet open. Matching payments to bookings, copy-pasting WhatsApp confirmations, and wondering if that deposit from last Tuesday actually landed.
Been there?
International transfers that eat your margin.
3-8% in bank fees and exchange markups. Every. Single. Transfer. Plus the 3-5 business days where the money just disappears.
WhatsApp for travelers, email for suppliers, spreadsheet for yourself.
Context lives in five different places. Nothing connects to your bookings. You are the integration layer.
Hours on admin that should be hours on the trail.
Booking forms, payment reminders, itinerary updates, document collection. The part you hate most is the part that takes the most time.
Paying hotels before your travelers have paid you.
Supplier deposits due now. Traveler final payments due in six weeks. Your cash flow haunts your nights.
OTAs take 15-40%. Direct bookings take a web developer.
You know direct bookings are more profitable. You just do not have the tools to make them easy for travelers.
this is how to fix it
Built around payments. Connected through WhatsApp. Designed for operators.
A single platform that handles the money, the messages, and the admin so you can focus on the trips.
