Travel ERP Software for Travel Agencies

  • Booking engine and supplier feeds in one system
  • Itineraries, quotations and vouchers off one record
  • Markup, commission and multi-branch rules you set
  • Scoped, migrated and supported by our team

Quotes in a spreadsheet, supplier confirmations buried in an inbox, vouchers retyped by hand, commission worked out on the last day of the month. ElySpace builds and configures travel ERP systems that hold bookings, itineraries, documents and money in one place, shaped around the way your agency already sells.

What a Travel ERP Replaces on Your Desk

Most agencies do not lose money on the fare. They lose it on the twenty minutes between an enquiry and a quote, on the voucher that went out with last season's inclusions, and on the commission nobody chased. A travel ERP is the system that closes those gaps.

Reservations and Booking Engine

One reservation record per traveller, holding flights, hotels, transfers, activities and insurance together with the passenger details, passport data and payment status. Your consultants stop rebuilding the same booking in four different tabs, and a colleague picking the file up at 6pm can see exactly what is confirmed and what is still on request.

Supplier and GDS Connectivity

The system pulls availability and fares through the GDS, consolidator and bed bank credentials your agency already holds, and it caches results so a busy search page does not hammer your supplier quota. Where a supplier has no API, we set up rate sheets and contracted allotments you maintain yourself, so offline product sits beside live inventory in the same search.

Itinerary and Package Builder

Build a day-by-day itinerary from saved components: a hotel night, a city tour, an airport transfer, a free morning. Save the finished shape as a template so next season's Kashmir eight-nighter or Dubai long weekend starts at ninety percent complete. Costs recalculate as you swap a component, so the sell price never drifts away from the buy price.

Quotations That Become Bookings

Send a branded, priced proposal with two or three options in it, track whether the client opened it, and convert the accepted option into a live booking without retyping a single passenger name. Expired quotes flag themselves. Follow-ups sit on the consultant's list instead of in their memory, which is where most travel enquiries quietly die.

Vouchers, Tickets and Documents

Hotel vouchers, transfer vouchers, e-tickets, visa checklists, invoices and receipts generate from the booking record, in your branding, with your terms and your emergency contact number on them. Change a room type and the voucher regenerates. No document on this system is ever a copy of last month's file with the dates edited.

Markup, Commission and Payment Rules

Define markup as a percentage, a flat amount or a slab, then vary it by product type, by season, by branch or by the agent selling it. Commission owed to a sub-agent and commission receivable from a supplier are both tracked against the booking, so a month-end reconciliation is a report you run rather than a weekend you lose.

How Your Agency
Goes Live

A travel ERP fails when it is dropped on a sales desk in one piece. We stage it, and you keep trading throughout.

01

Map Your Sales Flow

We sit with your consultants and write down how an enquiry actually becomes a confirmed booking today, including the shortcuts.

02

Connect and Configure

Your supplier credentials go in, your markup slabs, branches, agent tiers, document templates and tax settings get configured.

03

Migrate and Train

Live bookings, client history and supplier rates move across. Your desk trains on a copy of your own data, not on demo records.

04

Go Live With Cover

You switch over in a quiet week, with our team on the ticket queue at my.elyspace.com while the desk settles in.

Built for How Travel Agencies Actually Trade

Generic business software assumes one office, one price list and one customer type. Travel is none of those things.

A B2B Portal for the
Sub-Agents Who Sell for You

Most agencies grow through other agencies. Your sub-agents get their own login, see net or gross rates depending on the tier you put them in, book against a credit limit or a wallet balance you control, and pull their own vouchers without phoning your desk. You see every booking they make, the commission it generates and the balance they owe, without maintaining a separate ledger. When a sub-agent breaches their limit the portal stops them, which is a far more comfortable conversation than the one you have three weeks later. Branding on the portal is yours, so your agents never see the software vendor, only you.

Multiple Branches,
One Set of Numbers

Open a second office and the accounting usually splits in two. Here each branch gets its own users, its own booking series, its own document footer and, if you want, its own markup rules, while the owner keeps one consolidated view of margin, receivables and supplier exposure across all of them. Franchise and associate models work the same way: you decide what each location can see, price and discount. Transfers between branches stay on the record rather than being settled by phone call. It is the difference between running a group of agencies and running several agencies that happen to share a name.

The Money: Markup, Part
Payments and Reconciliation

Travel money is messy by nature. A client pays a deposit in one currency, the balance eight weeks later, the hotel invoices you after check-out, and the airline commission lands a month after that. The system keeps buy price and sell price on the booking from the moment it is quoted, records every part payment against the balance due, and holds supplier invoices next to the booking they belong to. Your accountant gets an export instead of a shoebox. Tax rates and invoice formats are configured to what your business is registered for, and you can change them yourself when the rules move.

Why Agency Owners Bring the Build to ElySpace

We Start From Your Sales Process

Every agency sells differently. A corporate desk cares about approval chains and cost centres, an inbound tour operator cares about per-pax costing and free sell allotments, an outbound retail shop cares about turning a walk-in into a signed quote before they leave. We scope your flow first and configure to it, rather than handing you a demo and asking you to change how you work.

Software and Hosting From One Supplier

When the booking engine is slow, nobody wants a three-way argument between a software vendor, a hosting company and a developer. ElySpace supplies both, so the system and the infrastructure under it are one ticket and one team. If you want to understand that side of it, our ERP hosting infrastructure page explains the environment these builds run on.

Your Supplier Contracts Stay Yours

We do not sit between you and your suppliers, and we do not take a cut of your bookings. The GDS, consolidator, bed bank and payment gateway relationships are contracts your agency holds, and the credentials stay under your control. If you ever move the system elsewhere, those connections and the data behind them go with you.

Planned for Peak Season

Travel demand is not flat. A visa announcement, a fare sale or a long weekend can multiply your search traffic in a day, and search is the most expensive thing a travel ERP does. We size the environment for your busy weeks rather than your average ones, cache supplier responses sensibly, and leave you room to scale onto a larger cloud server without a rebuild.

Trading Since 2016

ElySpace has been running hosting and business systems since 2016, and 27,000+ customers have come to trust us in that time. Our uptime commitment is 99.9%, and the terms behind that number are published in our service level agreement rather than left as an adjective on a marketing page.

The Rest of the Stack, If You Need It

A travel ERP rarely arrives alone. Agencies come to us for the booking system and also need the public site in front of it, whether that is a ready-made travel agency site deployed in an afternoon or a custom travel website build. If your enquiry pipeline needs its own home, our hosted CRM platforms sit alongside the same environment.

Travel ERP FAQ's

A booking website is the shop window. A travel ERP is the back room behind it. The website takes an enquiry or a payment; the ERP holds the reservation, the supplier costs, the itinerary, the vouchers, the agent commission and the money owed on that booking, and it keeps them linked for the life of the file. Most agencies need both, and they should talk to each other rather than being reconciled by hand every evening.

Yes, for live inventory. The system connects using credentials issued to your agency by your GDS provider, consolidator, bed bank or airline aggregator, so those commercial relationships have to be yours. If you do not have API access yet, we can still launch: contracted rate sheets, allotments and manually loaded packages behave like any other product in search, and API feeds can be switched on later without rebuilding your bookings.

You define rules rather than typing prices. A markup can be a percentage, a fixed amount or a slab that changes above a certain value, and it can vary by product type, supplier, season, branch or agent tier. Commission works the same way in both directions: what a sub-agent earns from you, and what you expect to receive from a supplier. Because the rule sits on the booking, margin is visible before the quote goes out, not after the season ends.

That is one of the main reasons agencies move to an ERP. Each sub-agent gets a login to a portal carrying your branding, sees the rates their tier is entitled to, books against a credit limit or a prepaid wallet you set, and downloads their own vouchers and invoices. You keep full visibility of what they sell and what they owe. When a limit is reached the portal blocks further bookings, so exposure is controlled by the system rather than by memory.

It can. Each branch gets its own users, booking series, document footer and, if you want, its own markup rules and supplier access, while ownership keeps a consolidated view of margin, receivables and supplier exposure across the whole group. Role-based permissions decide what a branch manager can see and discount compared with a counter consultant. Associates and franchisees are configured the same way, with tighter limits on what they can change.

We migrate them. Forward bookings, passenger records, client history, supplier rate sheets and outstanding balances are mapped from your spreadsheets or your current system and imported before go-live, so day one is not a blank screen. Anything that cannot be mapped cleanly is flagged for you to review rather than silently dropped. Your consultants then train on a copy of your own data, which is far more useful than training on demo records.

Travel is rarely paid in one go, so the booking carries a payment schedule rather than a single figure. Deposits, instalments and the final balance are recorded against the file with their own due dates, and outstanding balances appear on a report your accounts desk can work from. Bookings can be costed in the supplier's currency and sold in the client's, using the exchange rates you configure, with both figures kept on the record for reconciliation.

Yes, through the payment gateway your agency already holds a merchant account with. We configure the gateway using the API keys your provider issues to you, so settlement goes to your bank and the commercial terms stay between you and them. Successful payments post back against the booking automatically, which means the balance shown to a consultant and the balance shown in the client portal are the same number.

Tax rates, tax labels and invoice formats are configuration, not code. We set them up to match what your business is registered for and how your accountant wants travel sales presented, including different treatment for different product types where that applies. You can edit those settings yourself when rates or rules change. We build the system to your accountant's instructions; we do not give tax advice.

We do, on your own migrated data. Training is split by role, because a counter consultant, an accounts person and a branch manager use completely different parts of the system. Length depends on how many roles and branches are involved, which is one of the things we establish during scoping. You also keep a staging copy of the system, so new staff can practise on realistic bookings without touching anything live.

Handover does not end the relationship. Faults are raised on the ticket queue in your client area and fixed as part of support. New work, such as adding a supplier connection, changing a document layout or building a report your accountant has asked for, is scoped and quoted separately so you always know what you are approving. Configuration you can safely change yourself, such as markup rules and templates, stays in your hands.

Your bookings, passenger records, supplier rates and client history belong to your agency. Backups of the live database are taken automatically and you can request an export of your data at any point, in a format your next system can read. Supplier and gateway credentials are yours as well, so nothing about the arrangement is designed to make leaving difficult. If you also register your agency domain name with us, that stays under your account too.
