Travel and Tourism

Industry Expertise

In a market worth over $60bn, the last decade has seen rapid changes in the travel industry. More disposable income and increased consumer confidence resulted in 65% of the population taking a vacation between 2000 and 2005 , an increase of three percent . The number of people taking more than one vacation has also increased.

Sapphire's Travel sector has a reputation for providing travel agencies and tour operators, airports and the leisure industry with cost effective financial and business management applications. Our range of software solutions include:

Revenue Recognition — adaptable so that revenues can be seen in a variety of ways, as, for example, by vacation invoicing date and/or the date on which the vacation begins.

Proven integration into online travel booking systems — including Open Destinations' Travelstudio — resulting in better reporting and enterprise management.

Multi-Currency — genuine dual base currency processing with robust functionality that lets companies purchase, sell and store products and services using any currency, undertake accounting in three parallel currencies, and create reports for overseas parent companies in the currency of their choice.

Extensive reporting and analysis features — so companies can report by tour code, departure date, product type, region, department or other categories.
