Trade & Services

ERP software for tourism services

Track foreign currency sales, pre-season prepayments, hotel and transfer purchases and cost per tour on one platform, and record revenue in the period the service is delivered.

Keep the season, currency and prepayment cycle under control

In tourism, cash moves before the service does: guests pay months ahead, the agency pays advances to hotels and transfer companies, and the service is delivered in season. Sales are made in euros, dollars or pounds while a large share of costs is in Turkish lira. If prepayments are not recorded in the right period and exchange differences are not tracked, end-of-season profitability is misleading.

Factorbooks Autonomous ERP brings multi-currency and Central Bank exchange rate management, order advances received and paid, deferred revenue records and supplier purchases together in one ledger. Your reservation and channel management system stays in place; sales data can be transferred through the API in Integration Management. Card collections can run through Factorbooks' own virtual POS service.
