The Problem

Sound familiar?

These are the exact payment problems El Encuentro was dealing with before SettleWise.

No single source of truth

Excel, WhatsApp, emails, and manual follow-up never matched cleanly.

Payments without context

Money arrived, but nobody knew which guest, booking, or invoice it belonged to.

Manual investigation chaos

One payment could pull 3 to 4 people into daily follow-up for weeks.

No real cash visibility

Leadership could not trust the cash position without rebuilding it manually.

This wasn't just slow. It made financial decisions harder.

The Story

Before SettleWise

Payments lived across Excel, WhatsApp, email, and manual follow-up. The team had no dependable source of truth for what was paid, what was pending, or what cash was actually available, so Ops kept cross-checking bank movements against invoice records by hand.

The Breaking Point

One group booking payment took more than 1.5 months to reconcile, pulling 3 to 4 people into daily follow-up just to reconstruct where the money belonged.

What Changed

SettleWise gave El Encuentro a structured system for collections, reconciliation, and cash visibility. They can now see what was sold, what was collected, what is still pending, and what liquidity is actually available, with faster validation and clear flags when manual review is needed.

“In 40 years of running this company, we never had a real cash number. Now, for the first time, we actually know where we stand.”

“Payment identification became much faster and easier. When payments land in the new account, we can tell right away who paid.”

“Before SettleWise, tracking payments was chaotic. We had to guess where money was coming from and constantly ask clients to confirm everything.”
