Hotel commission recovery, automated.
Stop chasing hotels for commissions you've already earned.
Styx reconciles your TRAMS back office against GDS booking data, surfaces every unpaid hotel commission, and recovers it before the 180-day write-off window closes. Built for US travel agencies that are tired of leaving 30 to 40 percent of commission revenue on the table.
30–40%
of hotel commissions go uncollected industry-wide
180 days
before chains write off your claim — forever
25%
performance fee. Zero subscription. Zero risk.
Reconcile thousands of bookings in seconds
Styx ingests your TRAMS exports and cross-references them against GDS records to flag every booking where commission was earned but never paid — work that used to take days of manual spreadsheets.
Recover commissions before they expire
Most hotel chains write off commission claims after 180 days. Styx tracks aging on every open booking and routes dunning notices to the right contact at the property and chain before that clock runs out.
Pay only when we recover
No subscription, no per-seat licensing. Styx charges a 25 percent performance fee on the commissions we successfully recover for your agency. If we don't recover, you don't pay.
Walk the workflow
Six steps. Click any one to see what happens.
From raw exports to cash recovered — an interactive tour of the Styx pipeline.
Step 01 · Data foundation
Ingest
Drop in your TRAMS commission export and your GDS booking feed (Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport). Styx matches by property, vendor code, confirmation number and stay dates — so two systems become one source of truth.
Example
After ingest
The result: a single source of truth for every dollar of commission your agency is owed — with aging, recovery status and cash collected visible to leadership at all times.

Why Styx
Built for agencies that already know the money is there.
If your back office runs on TRAMS and your bookings flow through a GDS, you're almost certainly leaving commission on the table — somewhere between a few thousand and a few hundred thousand dollars per year, depending on volume. The gap isn't fraud; it's just that no one has the time to chase every $87 discrepancy across 8,000 stays. Styx does.
AI does the busywork
Narratives, classification and prioritization run automatically — your team focuses on the conversation with the hotel, not on spreadsheets.
Audit-ready by default
Every action is logged. Every invoice ties back to the underlying bookings, contract rule and bank statement entry.
Hotels collaborate without friction
Public, login-free validation links let hotel finance teams confirm or dispute lines in their browser. No portal accounts to manage.
True pay-for-performance
25% of recovered revenue. Nothing else. If a quarter is quiet, you owe nothing.
Pricing
25% of what we recover. That's it.
No setup fees, no seats, no annual minimums. We only invoice your agency on commissions that have actually been recovered and paid. The remaining 75% lands in your account.
Example
An agency with 8,000 annual stays recovers
$48,000
in previously written-off commissions.
