Running a DMC means juggling supplier relationships, client requests, and operational logistics - usually across spreadsheets and email. We built software that actually understands DMC workflows. Hotels, tours, transfers, all connected.
DMCs Using Platform
Destinations
Platform Fees
Here's the problem with most DMC software: it's either built for massive tour operators (overkill for most DMCs) or it's just a booking platform dressed up with "DMC" in the marketing.
We took a different approach. We talked to DMCs - small ones, medium ones, regional operators and multi-destination companies. Asked what actually slows them down day-to-day.
The answer was usually some variation of: "I spend too much time on manual work that should be automatic."
Our software addresses these. Not with fancy AI or blockchain buzzwords - just by putting everything in one place with sensible automation.
Access 50,000+ hotels at wholesale rates. Search, compare, book - instant confirmations for most properties. No more calling hotel sales offices or waiting for email quotes.
2,500+ experiences from theme parks to private tours. SIC and private options. Availability and pricing in real-time - no more calling operators to check what's available.
Airport pickups, intercity transfers, day hire vehicles. Select vehicle type, add flight details, get instant pricing. Driver details sent automatically before arrival.
Combine products into complete packages. System calculates costs, you set sell prices, margins calculated automatically. Generate professional PDF quotes with your branding.
All bookings in one dashboard. Track confirmations, upcoming deadlines, pending payments. No more digging through emails to find booking details.
See margins by booking, by client, by month. Export data when you need it. Know your profitability without waiting for month-end accounting.
Transparency matters. This platform works well for certain DMCs and not others. Let me be clear about the fit:
We're strongest in these markets - that's where our supplier relationships are deepest:
We do have inventory outside these regions, but if your business is primarily Europe, Africa, or the Americas, there are probably better-suited platforms.
The DMC software market has a few different categories. Here's where we fit:
| Feature | DMC Quote | Enterprise DMC Systems (Tourplan, etc.) |
Generic Booking Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | $0 (pay per booking) | $500-5,000/month | $0-200/month |
| Setup Time | 1-2 days | Weeks to months | 1-2 days |
| Built-in Inventory | Yes (50K+ hotels) | Often requires integrations | Varies |
| Quote Building | Yes | Yes (more complex) | Basic or none |
| Best For | SMB DMCs, Asia focus | Large, complex operations | Simple booking needs |
If you're a 50+ person DMC doing thousands of bookings monthly with complex group itineraries and deep accounting requirements, enterprise systems like Tourplan are probably worth the investment. They're expensive for a reason.
If you're a smaller DMC that wants professional tools without enterprise costs and complexity, we're a good fit. You get real supplier access, proper booking management, and quote building - without the months of setup or thousands in monthly fees.
"We looked at Tourplan and similar systems. They're powerful but we'd need a full-time person just to manage the software. This does 80% of what we need with 20% of the complexity. For a 6-person DMC, that's the right tradeoff."
Setup is straightforward - we designed it to not require an "implementation project":
Submit your DMC details and business documentation. Include your operating regions, primary markets, typical booking volume. Takes about 10 minutes.
We verify you're a legitimate DMC operation. This usually happens same-day for companies with clear documentation.
Access granted. Start searching inventory, comparing rates, making bookings. Most DMCs are comfortable with the system within a few hours of use.
If you want to connect your own systems, API access is available after your first month. Most smaller DMCs just use the web portal - API mainly makes sense if you have your own booking engine.
If your team can use Booking.com, they can use this. We don't do mandatory training sessions because the interface doesn't require them. That said, we're available if you want a walkthrough.
