Sales Audit
The audit of sold tickets, their fares, taxes and commissions as well as refunded and
exchanged documents lead to significant gains and benefits through re-debiting the travel agents
for ticketing errors and fraud. IATA estimates these losses are 1-3% of airlines
revenues.
With our highly automated Sales Audit service, we accomplish a full audit
of all sold tickets by our airline customers. Our modern software
systems and the commitment of our team of airline industry experts enable our service
to focus on stopping all revenue leakages of our customers.
All information on the tickets is audited: ticket fares such as CRS-public
fares, negotiated fares, corporate fares, specials, group fares and commissions as
well as applicable fare rules and regulations. Taxes, passenger service charges
and security charges are checked against the applicable published tax rules and
regulations. Special authorisations can be given, tracked and analysed via our exclusive
internet platform. Once authorisations are given there, agents receive an automated
e-mail which is immediately incorporated in the audit system. Various statistical analyses
are possible.
Through our two-stage audit process, highly reliable Agency Debit Memos/ADMs re verified:
All errors identified by the automated audit process are double-checked by
our industry experts to ensure the accuracy of the ADM. We debit this recovered
revenue per ADM to the travel agents and take care of their settlement via BSP/BSPLink.
Before issue of ADMs, checking against default agencies is performed. Agents’ disputes
are handled through our experts in specialised call-centre service teams.
Our standard sales audit procedures can be easily adapted to each and every airline’s
specific requirements. Also quick data exchange and integration in airlines' internal
software systems are enabled through state-of-art XML-interfaces.
The results of the sales audits are accessible easily through an exclusive internet
portal. Comprehensive and customized reports and statistics help airlines'
management in decision-making, market and fraud analysis. Detailed information
about agents’ behaviour, the most common mistakes, recovery levels, historical
trends, problem areas sorted by agent, error reasons, destinations etc. is analysed
