  What if Leadership is not a configuration of the “right” qualities but instead a perspective that one views the world through? There are numerous interpretations of what makes a good leader. In fact, there are just as many interpretations of the definition of good leadership. Don’t believe me? Just Google either term and see how […]

  For anyone thinking of going there, as many do for the warmer climate come November, I finally got to go there last week. Below is a report I made for the Business Traveler Forum in case anyone is interested.
  Mrs. LP drove me to a deserted Zurich airport. Only a few desks were open with less than a third being manned. Bit of a queue for security even for the premium lane but took no more than 5 minutes.
  Straight to the lounge through an almost empty duty free shop and an empty concourse. All the shops, cafes and restaurants were closed.
  Lounge in A was about half full, and they had set aside a section for F and Senators, but no-one checked who went to sit there. Before entering you had to disinfect your hands and they had set up a one way system in and out. Normal food and drink selection. I was there about 40 minutes before heading off to the gate.
  During my walk I passed not a single person. Straight up to immigration and to the gate where boarding had started. Despite lanes for Business and Gold’s no-one seemed to take much notice and it was a general melee with some people distancing and many not. However, to travel to South Africa you needed a negative C19 test so i guess we were all Covid free??
  Now the strange thing. A bus pulled up with LX288 on it, and we all had to board the bus. About 50 of us. We were all masked but impossible to social distance, though I stood by a seat and the door and stuck my bag in such a way only one person could stand behind me. I just wonder why Swiss, with all their commitment to hygiene etc did not provide 2 buses, or at least board us at a gate – after all there were plenty of empty gates available.
  We then drove about 5 minutes to the plane and boarded via the stairs. I waited at the foot of the stairs till they were clear so I could just walk up and sit down. We all had to keep our masks on throughout the flight, and only remove them for eating and drinking. Normally I don’t eat on the flight, but as it was a 1650 departure and you could remove your mask, I took everything but did not touch it.
  The flight had a total of 50 pax on a 340 seater 777 and while normally I look forward to an empty flight, this was very sad. The hostess told me on her last flight to New York, there we only 7 pax!!
  I managed a few hours of sleep before landing at 4am (ugh) to a deserted JNB airport. I was among the first off and just before immigration was a port health official. He checked the C19 cert. and took the health declaration before allowing me to join the queue – of 5! From aircraft to exit took just 10 minutes – a record. The airport was empty, all restaurants were closed.
  Back to the airport at 1015 for my 1110 flight with Safair. Health declaration presented and through security. No queue. I had priority boarding and there was a separate queue, so it was very fast. Safair allow you to pay to block the middle seat for R.750 which I did, but I think I was the only person who did so as the flight was full and I could see no empty middle seats. A large “Blocked Seat” sticker was fixed by the hostess to my middle seat.
  It was my first time with Safair and I was impressed. More legroom than Kalula (now in business administration) and easy to book and keep the middle seat free. If and when Kalula fly again I’ll now fly Safair instead.

  Receipt Bank has launched Pay, an app that enables small businesses to upload, track and pay invoices in a single application. This means that small business owners can complete accounts payable functions from within a single application. They can upload an invoice using the device camera. The information on the invoice is then extracted using the Receipt Bank’s award-winning extraction engine. Users can then check and edit invoice information.
  Once uploaded, users can browse both paid and unpaid invoices. They can sort the invoices by the due date and make decisions about which ones to pay. Then, from within the app, they can initiate payment through all major UK banks using the Plaid open-banking platform.
  Receipt Bank CEO Adrian Blair commented: “Pay completely transforms our offer for businesses by making payments pain free.”
  “What’s unique is that this ends the need to switch between three different apps; Pay brings uploading, managing and paying invoices all into a single app. It really transforms how businesses can manage their cash flow with their accountants.”
  The new app, PAY, is available shortly for UK iOS users. According to Receipt Bank, it is also currently working on a web version which will work on any mobile device. No release date was given. Pay fully integrates with Receipt Bank and Receipt Bank integrates to Xero, QuickBooks and Sage solutions.
  Receipt Bank is also working on new functionality for Pay. A spokesperson said: ”We’ll be adding split and multiple payment functionality for businesses with more complex supply chains, and building out access for accountants and bookkeepers in early 2021.”
  The app is available to Receipt Bank users on Business Plus and Premium packages. It is free until November 10th and will then cost £7.99 per month in addition to current tier charges. The product will be available globally in 2021. Pay will likely follow the same internationalisation as Plaid which operates in the USA, Canada, the UK, and has beta versions in France, Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands currently. It did not share any further details with Enterprise Times and will announce more plans next year. It may choose to partner with another payments platform to accelerate growth faster.
  This additional cost seems quite high for an app that has such a focused functionality. When asked about this Receipt Bank answered:
  “Considering Pay includes three functions in one app – upload, manage and pay – it is a really cost-effective solution for small businesses. When you look at the pricing of existing payment management solutions on the market Pay compares favourably with the market leaders.”
  Customers seem to agree. John Toon, Manager at Beever and Struthers, commented: ”Receipt Bank Pay offers a first glance at a truly seamless supplier payment experience. Harnessing the best of tech to offer simplicity, peace of mind and security. Who doesn’t want the ability to pay invoices whenever, wherever with just two clicks?”
  Enterprise Times asked Receipt Bank for which kinds of organisations this solution is targeted at. The response was: “Pay works incredibly well for businesses with a frequent volume (<100) of invoices on a monthly basis.“
