Direct Travel enhances commission tracking tool

In a move that highlights its commitment to improving and refining support to its network of travel advisors, Direct Travel has announced a significant upgrade to its exclusive Direct Tracker commission tracking tool.

Designed to streamline the business operations of over 800 travel advisors across the U.S. and Canada, the newly-enhanced Direct Tracker now offers full data download capabilities. Advisors can not only monitor their sales and commission performance in real time but also identify and recover unclaimed commissions.

“All Independent Contractors run their business in their own way – this enhancement gives them full control over their sales and commission data, making it easier to reconcile their financial records,” says Stephen Smith, Direct Travel’s SVP of Strategy & Marketing. “We are constantly focused on making it easier for them to run their travel business.”

Available 24/7, Direct Tracker provides a comprehensive overview of monthly production by travel category — including air, hotel, cruise, and other commissionable ancillary sales, giving advisors greater transparency and control over their business performance.

“This enhanced ability to recover unclaimed commissions is a game-changer in our industry,” adds Joelle Goldman, Direct Travel’s Vice President of Host Services & Luxury Hotel Programs in North America. It truly reflects, she added,  the company’s ongoing commitment to refine its suite of tools and services. “Our goal is to help our advisors to focus more on curating unforgettable experiences and less on administrative tasks.”
