Identified loss of income due to inconsistent application of

service fees And need for “customer

accessible” reporting tool

The findings

“In the age of shrinking

commissions and increasing airline

charges, it is essential for

agencies to make sure fees are

being collected properly.”

Extraordinarily LARGE

number of service fees to automate

An automated solution that will perform the necessary Quality Control, reduce human error and increase efficiency.

Wishful thinking

In the works• A central repository for all service fees

• Integration with iQCX

• All accounts by one central source
