What does a travel CRM do, and does it replace a booking engine?
A travel CRM organises enquiries, customer requirements, quotations, follow-ups and sales activity. It can carry booking context, but live availability, reservations and supplier confirmations remain the responsibility of the booking system unless those functions are explicitly included. Accounting and reconciliation also need their own agreed modules or connections.
Do you offer both ready-made and customisable Travel CRM solutions?
Yes. A ready-made CRM is an option when your process fits the available modules and configuration. A customisable solution can address assessed gaps such as specific fields, approvals, partner access or integrations. Confirm product inclusions in a CRM walkthrough and agree the scope, licensing and implementation terms before starting.
Which enquiry sources can be captured in the CRM?
The setup can be assessed for website forms, manually entered phone or walk-in enquiries, referrals and approved digital channels. Automated capture depends on the available connector, credentials and agreed field mappings. Do not assume that every advertising platform or marketplace is connected by default.
Can the CRM connect with WhatsApp, email or other communication tools?
Communication integrations can be assessed for the selected CRM setup. Availability depends on the provider, approved account access, supported APIs and the agreed workflow. Confirm messaging approvals, usage charges, contact preferences and conversation ownership separately; a personal WhatsApp account is not automatically a shared CRM inbox.
Can we manage quotation revisions and itinerary requirements?
Quotation history, requested changes and itinerary context can form part of the agreed CRM workflow. Review the available ready-made controls first. A full itinerary builder, document generator, supplier pricing connection or approval workflow may need additional modules or custom development.
How does CRM sales activity connect with booking and service teams?
Define a handover containing the accepted trip requirements, customer instructions and relevant references. Booking, payment and supplier-confirmation updates should come from the responsible system or authorised staff. Marking an opportunity as won in the CRM must not by itself imply that a supplier reservation is confirmed.
Can we migrate existing spreadsheets or export our CRM data?
Migration and export requirements are agreed for the chosen solution. Review the source fields, data quality, duplicate handling, ownership and historical records before testing a sample import. Confirm supported export formats, access permissions and licensing terms rather than assuming every record type can move unchanged.
Are AI features included in the ready-made CRM?
The AI roadmap on this page describes optional enhancements for assessment, not standard ready-made inclusions or already-live functionality. Summaries, extraction, drafting or prioritisation require an agreed scope, suitable data controls and human review. There is no claim of an already-live Ginni CRM integration or autonomous booking.
How should staff and partner access to customer data be managed?
Define the roles, record ownership and sharing boundaries required for consultants, managers and partners. Confirm the available permissions, export controls and administrative responsibilities for the selected setup. Sensitive traveller information should be limited to authorised use; specific security, retention or compliance requirements need separate review.
What determines implementation cost, timeline and ongoing support?
The estimate depends on licensing, users, selected modules, configuration, custom work, migration, integrations and training. Data readiness and external approvals can affect delivery. Agree hosting, backups, support arrangements, renewals and third-party usage charges in the proposal. No fixed price, launch deadline or support response time is implied by this page.
