Why Travel Agencies Are Switching to Travel Pro
Legacy GDS tools were built for a different era. Travel Pro is the modern alternative — GDS-connected, agency-ready, and built to replace the patchwork of disconnected systems most agencies are running today.

The Problem Every Agency Knows
Most travel agencies are running their business on a stack that was never designed to work together. A GDS terminal for booking. A separate CRM for client management. A third tool for itinerary building. Spreadsheets for commission tracking. Email threads for client communication.
The result is an agency that spends more time managing tools than managing clients. Agents switch between five platforms to complete a single booking. Reporting is delayed and incomplete. Clients call for every update because there's no self-service option.
Five Pain Points Travel Pro Eliminates
Cryptic GDS Commands
Agents spend months learning terminal syntax instead of serving clients. One typo can corrupt a booking.
Disconnected Systems
Booking tool, CRM, itinerary builder, and reporting are all separate platforms that don't talk to each other.
No Traveler Self-Service
Clients call for every change, document request, or status update — consuming agent time on low-value tasks.
Limited Visibility
Reporting is manual, delayed, and incomplete. Agencies can't see real-time booking performance or agent productivity.
Payment Complexity
Multi-currency transactions, supplier payouts, and commission reconciliation are handled manually with spreadsheets.
What Travel Pro Actually Does
Travel Pro is a unified travel booking and agency operations platform. It replaces the disconnected stack with a single system that handles everything from GDS search to client communication to commission reconciliation.
GDS Connectivity
Travel Pro connects to Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport through certified integrations. Agents search live inventory across all three GDS systems from a single, modern interface — no terminal commands required. NDC airline direct content is also supported for richer ancillary options.
Traveler Portal
Give clients a branded, self-service portal where they can search within policy, view itineraries, request changes, and access travel documents. Routine requests are handled without agent intervention — freeing your team for complex, high-value bookings.
Agency Workspace
A unified back-office dashboard for managing bookings, clients, commissions, and team performance. Everything your agents need is in one place, with role-based access so each team member sees what they need.
Payment Orchestration
Accept payments via Stripe, handle multi-currency transactions automatically, and reconcile supplier payouts without manual spreadsheet work. Travel Pro tracks commissions, generates reconciliation reports, and flags discrepancies in real time.
Rules Engine
Configure markup rules, commission structures, preferred supplier policies, and booking restrictions that enforce automatically. No more manually checking every booking against policy — the system does it for you.
Real-Time Reporting
Live dashboards show booking volume, revenue, commissions, and agent performance as it happens. Export reports for client reviews, supplier negotiations, or internal strategy sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to give up our GDS to use Travel Pro?
No. Travel Pro connects to your existing GDS accreditation. You keep your Amadeus, Sabre, or Travelport relationship and gain a modern interface on top.
How is Travel Pro different from a GDS front-end like Travelport Smartpoint?
GDS front-ends are agent-only tools that modernize the terminal interface but don't add traveler portals, unified back-office management, or payment orchestration. Travel Pro is a full agency operations platform — not just a prettier GDS screen.
What's included in the setup fee?
The setup fee covers GDS certification, platform configuration, data migration, staff training, and a dedicated onboarding manager. Starter setup starts at $7,500; Preferred-tier setup starts at $45,000+
Can Travel Pro handle corporate travel programs?
Yes. Business and Professional plans include policy enforcement, approval workflows, cost center coding, and reporting designed for corporate travel management companies.
Is Travel Pro available now?
Yes. Travel Pro is production-ready and available with transparent monthly pricing. Plans start at $898/month for up to 5 agents. Contact us to schedule a demo and discuss your agency's specific requirements.
