SIS-at-a-Glance
An electronic invoicing system that optimizes the interline billing & settlement processes, eliminates paper, and reduces costs.
While the airline industry has achieved 100% Electronic Ticketing (ET) and the Clearing House has eliminated paper from the clearance process through the ICH Web, the interline billing and settlement process is still using legacy paper-based processes.
By taking advantage of today's all-data world, the Integrated Settlement (IS) solution seeks to eliminate paper and simplify the entire process to allow for more effective exchange of transaction information between billing entities and their interline partners.
