Every financial transaction in Kaptio links directly to the booking. AR, AP, and reconciliation all trace back to itineraries, items, and services. No more reconciling between disconnected systems—your financial data lives where your operational data lives.
Every financial record traces back to the booking. This unified model enables accurate reporting, reconciliation, and margin analysis.
Because every financial record links to the booking, you can answer questions like "What's the margin on this departure?" or "Which packages have outstanding supplier balances?" instantly. No spreadsheet reconciliation required.
From initial deposit to final balance, Kaptio manages the complete customer payment lifecycle with configurable schedules, gateway integration, and self-service options.
Accept payments in customer's preferred currency while tracking in your base currency. Automatic FX rate capture, gain/loss tracking, and dual-currency reporting for international operations.
Kaptio automates supplier cost tracking from agreement to payment. Expected costs generate automatically, making AP reconciliation straightforward.
When supplier invoice lines generate automatically from agreements, your AP team knows exactly what's owed, when it's due, and to whom—before the supplier even sends their invoice. This enables proactive cash flow management and eliminates surprise costs.
Kaptio automates the repetitive financial tasks that consume your team's time— from invoice generation to payment reminders to supplier remittances.
Eliminate manual invoice line creation with agreement-driven automation
Automate the customer payment lifecycle from schedule to collection

Automated CSV/Excel exports delivered to email or SFTP. Configure frequency and data scope.
Via KTAPI, connect directly to a replicated database for enterprise analytics platforms.
Match expected costs against actual supplier invoices, identify variances, and understand your real profitability on every booking.
Supplier billed more than agreed
Action: Dispute with supplier
Supplier billed less than expected
Action: Record accrual
Contract changed mid-booking
Action: Update agreement
Currency movement impact
Action: Recognize gain/loss
Analyze margins at any dimension: by package, departure, channel, agent, supplier, or time period. Identify which products drive profitability and which need attention.
Track accrued revenue and expenses for period-end accuracy. Generate accrual entries for unbilled services and unrecorded costs. Reverse accruals automatically when actual transactions post. Support for multi-currency accruals with FX handling.
Kaptio's generic integration framework supports any accounting system. Export financial data in configurable formats with automated or manual triggers.
The same integration patterns work across all systems—configuration determines the output format.
Scheduled CSV/XML exports in your required format. Manual download or SFTP delivery.
REST API for real-time or batch data extraction. Push or pull integration patterns.
Trigger exports on booking confirmation, payment, or other events. Webhook support.
Kaptio doesn't lock you into a specific accounting system. Our generic integration framework provides the flexibility to connect to Sage, Dynamics, Oracle, QuickBooks, Xero, or any custom ERP. As your business evolves, your integration can evolve with it.
