Can the system connect to my accounting software so my staff are not typing every booking in twice?

Yes, in most cases you can avoid double entry, but how closely the two systems talk to each other depends on which accounting package you use and what your plan covers.

The simplest route, and the one most agencies start with, is an export. The system can produce a file of your bookings for a chosen period, with the customer name, the invoice reference, the supplier the booking came from, what it cost you and what you charged. Your accountant or your office staff import that file into the accounting package instead of keying each sale by hand. This works with almost any accounting software that accepts a standard spreadsheet or file import, and many agencies simply run it at the end of each week or month.

The closer option is a direct link, where every confirmed booking and every invoice is pushed into your accounting system as it happens. This is possible when your accounting software has an open API that allows records to be created from outside, and it needs setup work to agree how your ledgers, tax codes and supplier accounts should be matched. Not every accounting package allows this, and desktop only software usually does not. Refunds and cancellations also need a rule agreed in advance, because a credit note, a supplier charge and your own fee rarely line up as one neat entry.

The useful next step is to tell us which accounting package you use, whether it runs online or on a computer in your office, and who does your bookkeeping, and we can tell you plainly whether a direct link or a regular export will suit you better.
