Solution: WiseERP – Travel & Service Operations Automation

Implementation Timeline: 2 Weeks

Deployment: Cloud-Based, Zero Operational Disruption

The Challenge

As demand for domestic and international travel services increased, Katusya Travel Agency experienced rapid growth in bookings, client inquiries, and corporate travel contracts.

However, their internal systems were struggling to keep up.

They were facing:

• Fragmented booking and invoicing processes
• Manual reconciliation of payments from M-Pesa, bank transfers, and card payments
• Disconnected communication between sales, ticketing, and finance
• Poor visibility into receivables and outstanding client balances
• Email clutter from client requests and document follow-ups
• Limited reporting on profitability per trip, client, or corporate account

Additionally, as corporate clients began demanding faster confirmations, structured documentation, and transparent billing, delays in processing posed financial and reputational risks.

The agency needed a centralized system that could:

• Manage leads and convert them into confirmed bookings
• Automate invoicing and payment collection
• Track multiple client contacts under corporate accounts
• Enable clients to raise service tickets without relying on emails and calls
• Provide real-time financial and operational reporting

Most off-the-shelf international systems were either too complex, too expensive, or poorly aligned with Kenyan payment ecosystems.

• Built-in payment CTA within invoices
• Integration with M-Pesa, bank transfers, and card payments
