The solution = Net Trans!
The complete hotel commission recovery and reconciliation service for travel
agencies – integrated with Amadeus for seamless transfer of hotel bookings.
Every travel agency has problems collecting commission from hotel bookings. The majority of
hotels are very good about paying promptly. Unfortunately,
some are less reliable. Agents often find as much as 50 per cent
of what they are owed is never paid. Despite this problem,
agents usually fail to chase the commission they are owed. Net
Trans is an outsourced commission specialist, which will solve
the problem of commission gathering for you.
Amadeus has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Net
Trans offering the service to Amadeus users at a pre-negotiated
price, the contractual relationship being between the travel agency and Net Trans.

Once you sign up with us, your front-line staff makes no changes to the way they work. Net Trans automatically receives copies of the hotel-booking segment in the AIR/IMR files from Amadeus. You can add other bookings as manual/passive segments for commission tracking. The only thing your accounts department needs to do is forward to us each month any commission receipts sent directly to your travel agency by hotels, called Bag and Forget.
How it works- 6 simple steps
Step 1: Net Trans automatically collects and consolidates your Amadeus bookings, your front-line staff make no changes to the way they work. You can add non-GDS bookings as manual/passive segments for commission tracking.
Step 2: Early in the month following checkout date, Net Trans sends hotel suppliers a list of bookings made with them and the commission they owe.
Step 3: Net Trans collects and consolidates your receivables based on commission we have collected for you and on statements of money sent directly to you and forwarded to us.
Step 4: The hotels settle with Net Trans. If they are users of the Pegasus Solutions' hotel commission payment service or WPS, they will settle automatically with Net Trans. Net Trans’ system traces and chases any payments that have not been received.
Step 5: Net Trans holds the received commission in a secure client account, and then sends a single consolidated payment to you within the fifth business day of each month (provided the transfer is the equivalent of 100 euro or higher). The payment is in the currency of your choice, we currently offer eight currencies.
Step 6: You can access a full set of web-based reports on demand. At a glance, you can see which reservations you have made, what commission you have received and what Net Trans is still chasing for you. You can export the reports to Excel and other formats. Log in is provid
