Commission reconciliation is the monthly chore every travel agency dreads. You download supplier statements, open spreadsheets, match booking numbers, calculate differences, and chase missing payments. It takes hours. It's error-prone. And it costs you money when things slip through the cracks.

The Old Way: Manual Reconciliation Hell

Here's what most agencies do every month:

1. Download 5-15 supplier PDF statements
2. Open your commission tracking spreadsheet
3. Manually match each booking number to a payment
4. Calculate expected vs. actual commission
5. Flag discrepancies in a separate column
6. Email suppliers about missing payments
7. Update your "master" spreadsheet
8. Repeat next month from scratch

Time required: 8-12 hours per month. Error rate: 15-20%.

The New Way: Automated Reconciliation

Here's what smart agencies do with travelCRM:

1. Upload supplier statement (PDF or CSV)
2. travelCRM auto-matches every booking to your records
3. Discrepancies highlighted instantly
4. One-click email to supplier about missing payments
5. Done. Report generated automatically.

Time required: 10-15 minutes per month. Error rate: near 0%.
