Travel Agents face unique challenges: Commissions arrive months after booking. Complex itineraries with multiple suppliers per trip. Service fee justification when clients can book online themselves. Tracking deposits, final payments, and commission across dozens of trips. On top of all that, FreshBooks charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median travel agent earns $40,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your GDS access (Sabre, Amadeus) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
FreshBooks is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
