Partner distribution
Concierge and partner bookings, commissioned and invoiced for you.
Hotels, concierges, travel agents, and DMCs drive a large share of helicopter-tour bookings. ExpeditionHQ treats each as a first-class partner with its own commission or discount terms, automatic invoicing, and a self-service login, no spreadsheet required.
A concierge books a guest, the flight happens, and at month-end you owe a commission, or honored a discount. Done by hand, that is envelope math, invoices rebuilt from scratch, and chasing partners for payment.
Generalist platforms are built around walk-up point-of-sale and OTA distribution, so this funnel is an afterthought. For an operator whose bookings come through concierge and agent relationships, that is the difference between software that fits and software you fight.
The partner workflow, end to end
Set terms once, per partner
Each partner carries its own commission OR discount, applied automatically to every booking made on its behalf.
Pay now or invoice later
A per-partner toggle: walk-ins pay at the helipad, account partners are invoiced after the flight.
Automatic invoice roll-up
Every partner’s bookings collect into one invoice with an Open, Sent, Paid lifecycle. Voucher PDFs attach automatically.
Partner self-service
Partners log in to see their own bookings and statements, which means fewer phone calls and cleaner relationships.
A missed invoice can cost you a partner you spent years earning.
When the commission math and the invoice run themselves, the relationship stays clean, and the revenue stays yours.
Partner distribution, answered
How do helicopter operators manage hotel and concierge commissions?
Each hotel, concierge, or agent is set up as a partner organization with its own commission or discount terms. Bookings roll up into a single invoice with an Open, Sent, and Paid lifecycle, so commissions are calculated and billed without manual math.
Can partners be invoiced after the flight instead of paying upfront?
Yes. A per-partner toggle controls whether customers pay at booking or the partner is invoiced after the flight, so walk-ins pay at the helipad while account partners are billed monthly.
Do other booking platforms offer partner commission workflows?
Generalist platforms like FareHarbor and Peek Pro are built for walk-up and OTA distribution and do not market a built-in commission, discount, and invoicing workflow for hotel-concierge and agent partners. ExpeditionHQ does, because that funnel is how most helicopter tours sell. See the full feature set.
