Every payment tied to its booking.

The unallocated-cash problem

In general accounting software a client deposit arrives as unallocated cash, a number in the bank with nothing linking it to the reservation it belongs to. That gap is where an agency loses the thread: money is in the account, but no one can say which booking it paid for without reconstructing it by hand.

Tied at the moment it happens

Every collection is recorded against the booking it pays for, with bank-reference fields, and the remaining balance updates instantly. Record the payment in the client's currency and the reports convert it to USD for you, so a supplier billed in euros and a client paying in dollars sit on the same reservation without manual conversion.

Reconciliation becomes a review, not a reconstruction

Built-in bank reconciliation matches your bank movements against the payments already recorded, by amount, and surfaces differences in seconds. Because the link between the money and the booking was made when the money arrived, month-end is a review of a record that already ties, not a scramble to rebuild it from statements and memory.
