Webinar: "Non- Transport (Miscellaneous) Billing
From Stone Age to Space Age"

• 	June 22, 2011 Non-Transport (Miscellaneous) Billing is a recession proof revenue stream for airlines. However, lack of sufficient automation and integration has led to business issues such as inadequate control over invoicing of services, longer service to invoice cycle as well as higher rejections due to incorrect pricing. IATA’s Simplified Interline Settlement (SIS) project has made it mandatory for all airlines and vendors to settle their Non-Transport (Miscellaneous) Billing through the SIS platform. While most airlines view this as a compulsion, we see it as an opportunity to:: Standardize the billing processes across multiple divisions to exercise better control over finances Significantly reduce manual efforts in the billing processes, reduce rejections and plug cost leakages Automate billing processes while keeping the cost of IT change minimum
  	The webinar had shared insights on how mandatory change can be leveraged from transforming the Non-Transport (Miscellaneous) Billing process from Stone Age To Space Age!
