Having control over your company’s cash flow, ie. the money moving in and out of your cash register, is an essential factor when planning the successful strategy for your travel business.
Unfortunately, many business owners find it difficult to predict the cash flowing in and out of their company. When supplier invoices finally arrive, they are not in control of the expenses they are faced with.
This problem causes most small businesses with poor cash flow management to run out of money and fail.
Losing money because of unexpected expenses
This happens because agencies predefine their expenses in contracts with suppliers, but often the agreed-upon amounts are different from the ones invoiced.
It can be out of several reasons. There could have been a change in the service used or maybe just a basic administrative mistake.
Multiply this problem with hundreds of receipts issued and it is not surprising that many agencies lose track of the accuracy of all transactions.
Is there a way for companies to prevent this vicious circle and have control over their finances even when their finances are not 100% in their hands, like when they depend on the suppliers?
