Also, you can link permission to your data for user rights protection. By allotting different profiles to your team and creating different roles for them, you can easily determine the data accessibility and secure your modules.

Manage Your Fixed Departure Trips With Travel Agency CRM

Other than our automated workflow USP, Fixed Departure trip management also comes as an add-on with Travel Agency CRM. But for starters, you need to cover your bases. You need to chalk out or design a trip (as a product) including start and end dates, destination, accommodation capacity (i.e. the PAX or headcount number of passengers and the number of rooms available). The moment these trips engage website traffic and people start booking, all the details regarding the confirmed cases, balanced capacity concerning accommodation gets auto-calculated and auto-populated in the respective fields. You can also check how many leads got generated, how many of them were confirmed as trips, and the list of vendor reservations required for this single trip.  

An important note– you need to create fixed departure trips as different products so that it becomes easier for you while generating quotes and invoices.

Besides this, you can also place an automated booking form so that when your audience fills out your form, your CRM will automatically collect and store all the information and place them under the ‘contact’, ‘trips’, and ‘passengers’ modules. Almost like magic!
