Twelve deposits are sitting in your account. None of it is yours yet.
A booking is money long before it is a sale. A deposit arrives, a ticket is bought, a hotel is paid — and the client has still not confirmed. The operation lives in a booking system; the money has to live somewhere that balances, and the two have to agree.
Sound familiar?
If none of these are your business, this probably is not the page for you — and we would rather you found that out here than on a call.
- 01
Twelve people have paid a deposit for a group that has not departed. That money is in your account as though it were yours.
- 02
The ticket was bought in January, the hotel in February, the balance came in March. Which month earned it?
- 03
You know the group of forty made money. You do not know which of the forty did.
What you will be looking at
The screens this trade lives in
Every one of these exists today. Nothing here is something we would build for you later — that part has its own heading further down.
Profit per trip
What the booking brought in against every supplier cost that attached itself to it.
Receipts & deposits
Money taken before a trip is confirmed, held as what it is rather than counted as a sale.
Payables
Airlines, hotels and ground handlers, each with a ledger that stays straight.
Receivables
What the client still owes, against a departure date that is not moving.
Alevate Connect
Your booking system posts the sale, the receipt and the supplier bill straight into the books.
Reports
The month, the season, and which product actually earned it.
What it already does
About the hard part
- Deposits held until the trip is confirmed, not booked as revenue on the day
- A supplier ledger per airline, hotel and handler
- Profit read per trip rather than per month
Usually built on top
The connector to your booking system. MyUmrah CRM already sends here — the agency runs the operation there and keeps the books here, and neither has to do the other’s job.
Scoped and quoted in writing before anything is built, and it ships into your own books — so a custom report reconciles to the statutory ones rather than disagreeing with them.
How custom work fits in →Not quite your trade?
The ledger underneath is the same one. What changes is the costing, the chart of accounts and which screens you open first.
Bring a bill you have not entered yet
We photograph it on the call and you watch the draft entry come back. It is a better demonstration than anything we could write here.
