ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT REPORTS:

Since 1978 , we have maintained a solid stance of continued business with a very wide cross section of clients, from individuals to large “blue-chip” companies, we use one simple but powerful accounting system to cater.

We keep this simple, via ATO approved Tax Invoices and Receipts issued per Travel transaction made with traveler data and other components clearly listed or attached.

All charges are made by us or supplier on your behalf against your nominated card and we can debit one or numerous cards per Department or traveller. Your choice.

We use the power of the full suite of SABRE and SAM software that exceeds Industry standards as we have invested in all facets of Reservations, Database management, Corporate Account compliancy standards and Accounting reporting protocols to suit individual company needs on a personalized basis.

  1. We require our clients to adopt and use a simple  Signature on File [S.O.F.] facility.
  2. We do not require any Credit checks or referrees. A valid Card is all that we need + use

With the Signature On File facility “SOF” we can manage your company’s credit or charge cards on your instructions. You may add to or delete from these requirements at any time.

Features of our SIGNATURE ON FILE – denoted as “SOF” facility:

Allows a seamless method of accepting, initiating and confirming most forms of Travel immediately without much paperwork , especially for those “urgent” bookings.

  • All travellers have their travel requirements placed against a nominated card or card(s). This allows us to guarantee reservations and ensure travel components are completed efficiently with clearly defined invoices and receipts issued.
  • Cardmember gets Frequent Flyer points on all charges levied against the Card.
  • Axis Travel can assist in advising and managing how best to use these accrued points.With our exclusive “REDEEM2GO service, we attend to , manage and issue Frequent Flyer tickets on your behalf with this “S.O.F.” facility integral in allowing us to speedily issue such tickets  and extend the best travel deals to extract the best frequent flyer points and bonuses especially as these tickets are confirmable only upon immediate action.

  • Any refunds, exchanges or upgrades are trackable easier via the same Card solution audit trail. The time savings here are enormous.

We accept any Visa, Mastercard or Amex card, with a bias towards Diners and Amex as they  have very high or no credit ceilings to concern most travellers.

With YOUR COMPANY we can establish one simple Signature on File” Account against any of your preferred Credit or Charge Card(s) or a series of cards for each Department or traveller. This is your choice as we can facilitate flexibility and issue/Invoice in accordance with your preferences.

After we obtain your “S.O.F.” account, this is what happens.
