Travel technology company Travel Compositor has launched a new solution to enable travel professionals to quote and confirm tailor-made group trips.
Its Group Engine product, set to debut at WTM London next week, is available to tour operators, agency networks, DMCs, and consolidators.
They can use it to add buses, guides, hotels, restaurants, activities, and transfers across multiple destinations — and to operate them automatically, from supplier request to confirmation and on-route execution.
The Spanish firm says the software can ‘solve the industry’s biggest challenge’ – of creating tailor-made multi-destination trips from a range of suppliers.
Agents and operators can use it to involve multiple suppliers, cities, schedules, restrictions, dynamic rooming, and last-minute changes – not having to rely on spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls.
Group Engine allows price forecasts and group contracts to be uploaded; performs multi-service and multi-destination quotations; automates supplier requests and purchases; makes automatic confirmations; integrates operations such as room assignments and helps manage finances by tracking margin by item, managing deposits and penalties, adjusting prices by occupancy, approving workflows, and completing full audit trails.
The company expects Group Engine to boost commercial and operational productivity, improve proposal conversion rates, and shorten the sales cycle in high-volume B2B markets and travel markets.
It says it can enable travel professionals to create personalised proposals in minutes rather than days, automate repetitive tasks such as requests and confirmations, offer scalability, improve accuracy and control and offer clear communication with suppliers.
Manuel Aragonés, chief executive of Travel Compositor, said: “With the Group Engine, we bring Travel Compositor’s automation to the most complex area of tourism: tailor-made groups.
“We’ve moved from fragmented, manual processes to a single digital flow that will save thousands of hours per year and accelerate time-to-quote and time-to-book like never before.”
Travel Compositor also offers The Tour Guide App, a mobile app for tour guides offering minute-by-minute itinerary, contacts, and documents, passenger check-in and attendance control, service details, maps, and meeting points, optional excursion management, sales, and reporting and a group and individual operational chat.
“The app turns the guide into a true digital orchestrator,” said Aragonés. “Everything stays synchronized — what happens on the route is instantly reflected in the office, reducing errors, calls, and operational costs.”
Travel Compositor is part of Travelsoft – the global travel software-as-a-service (SaaS) player whose technologies are used by travel agents and tour operators to package and distribute travel.
