Travel agencies · South Africa
Running a travel agency in Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban means juggling airline and DMC invoices, deposits, commissions and refunds — often across three or four disconnected tools. Tallium AI puts your front-desk sales, supplier bills, client invoices and VAT-ready books in one app, with unlimited users on every plan and no per-seat fees. It starts at $79 per month per shop unit, billed monthly in USD from signup, with no free trial and cancel anytime.

Key takeaways
A client pays a R5,000 deposit in March, the balance in June, and travels in September. When the booking sits in a spreadsheet and the money sits in the bank, it is painfully easy to chase a client who already paid — or to depart a group whose balance never landed.
Airlines, wholesalers, DMCs, hotels and transfer companies all bill on their own schedule and their own format. Typing each one into books by hand, or leaving a shoebox of PDFs for month-end, means you never really know today's margin on a booking.
Some services you sell are standard-rated, some are zero-rated, some are supplied by a foreign principal, and commission income is treated differently from a gross package sale. Getting the split wrong once quietly repeats on every VAT201 you file.
Total revenue looks healthy, but nobody can tell you whether corporate travel, leisure packages or visa services carry the business. Without per-booking cost and commission tracking, pricing decisions are guesswork.
Raise a quote, convert it to an invoice, log the deposit, and Tallium AI tracks the outstanding balance and due date automatically. Everyone on your team sees the same live status, so nobody double-chases a client or lets a balance slip past departure.
Photograph or forward a supplier invoice and Tallium AI reads the supplier, amount, date and VAT, then suggests the category. Your costs land against the booking as they happen instead of piling up for a frantic month-end catch-up.
Set the correct VAT treatment on each service you sell — standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt — and Tallium AI keeps a running total mapped to your VAT201 boxes, ready to key into SARS eFiling. Confirm current rules with SARS or a local tax professional before you file.
Because sales, supplier costs and commissions live in the same app, reports show gross margin by booking, consultant, client and service type. AI insights flag the trends worth acting on — a supplier whose costs are creeping, or a product line quietly running thin.
Quotes, deposit invoices, balance invoices and credit notes with your VAT number and branding, emailed straight to the client and tracked until paid.
Double-entry books that update as you sell and spend — client accounts, supplier accounts, bank, and a trial balance your accountant can work from.
Per-line VAT treatment, running VAT201 figures and an audit trail of every invoice, ready for SARS eFiling.
Margin by booking, consultant and service line, aged debtors, aged creditors and cash position — refreshed live, not rebuilt each month.
Plain-English prompts on slow-paying clients, rising supplier costs and thinning margins, so you spot problems while you can still fix them.
Build your plan in a minute — pay only for the parts of your business you run. From $79/month per shop.
