The last decade has seen the inbound tourism sector become ever more competitive. Many tour operators have streamlined and right-sized their businesses to adapt to the ever-changing face of local & global tourism competition. Many factors need addressing to make a tourism business more competitive, and the adoption of tour operator software is perhaps the most critical.

Equilogic is the developer and support-base for the Travelogic™ software. Travelogic™ has been available to the South African tourism industry for the past 5 years; and is constantly developed it in consultation with South Africa's leading inbound-tour operating businesses.

Travelogic™ is an affordable software solution for inbound tour operators. It allows tourism staff to achieve more within their normal work-hours. It has a user-friendly and intuitive interface which requires minimal training, and is easily installed onto existing hardware. Travelogic™ stores supplier rates sheets, descriptions, pictures (as well as agents & clients contact details) in a database which allows for quick-quoting. The fact that all this information is already in the database facilitates automated itinerary building in half-the-time it would normally take a tour operator to do it manually. The more complex the client-quote is, the more time and effort Travelogic™ will save you.

Travelogic™ is offered in single & multi-user versions; thereby catering for the small tourism business (micro-enterprise) and larger tourism companies with multiple users (small, medium and large enterprise). Travelogic™ is affordable for all sizes of tour operating businesses.

Travelogic™ also facilitates profitability analysis on a per-tour basis, vouchering, client-invoicing, supplier reconciliation, supplier payment reminders, as well as various management/financial/cash-flow analyses which are vital to the control of any business.

In this day and age, tour operators can not afford to still be running a paper based and file based quoting system. Using well developed and speedy Tour Operator Software, your business has the ability to double and even triple its turn around times for quoting, itinerary building and invoicing. Surely, you cannot afford not to have a look at using Travelogic?

If there is one part of your business process you improve on in 2008, let it be the move to using an affordable tour operator software solution.
