Toogo

All encompassing Travel Agency / DMC Software

Comentarios: I can now build itineraries in under 5 minutes and provide a platform for other people to work within our company. Our previous design made it near impossible for an agent to work with us. We are now able to manage all our sales projects in on place and have less and less need for storing mass amounts of files.
Training was over 8 weeks and ongoing support has been great - I believe there are updates on the way and see minor changes here and there so the software is constantly being worked on and updated. Special mention to rep. who has been nothing short of excellent in helping us implement this great bit of tech.

Easy and professional itineraries for B2B markets

Puntos a favor:

From my perspective, I can confidently say that this tool is highly effective and we utilize it to its fullest potential! One aspect that I particularly appreciate is the itinerary sharing feature with our clients. It not only provides detailed information about the program, but also includes short videos showcasing the country's main attractions, which encourages clients to visit us! When creating a B2B proposal, the itinerary can be easily edited! This allows for the same link to be shared with the final client. And the best part? The rates and other details can be modified by the client to fit the needs of the traveler. It also offers the ability to use dual branding or just the client’s branding as preferred.

Contras:

If according to my needs I am editing a long itinerary in Toogo, and if for any reason the internet of my computer stops functioning and I was not able to save the itinerary with the changes.. I have to start with the edition all over again, since it does not save the changes automatically. Or If I want to add a service on the trip builder.. I need also to edit again the information that was edited before on the itinerary.

We use it for creating quotations only. Once you learn how it works, it's fairly easy to use.

Comentarios: Mostly, saving time and creating more consistent pricing and itineraries.

Puntos a favor:

I like that it allows me to create quotes very quickly. It's also relatively easy to update prices, etc, though doing an annual review of prices takes a lot of effort.

Contras:

There's a very big learning curve. There are also a lot of features that we don't use.... Things don't always work correctly, and because every change must be made over the internet, sometimes it can be slow to react/make changes. The initial process of entering all of the data is very labor-intensive, but that is to be expected. The biggest challenge in setting it up is that it's difficult to know what data is used where and how, so there's a bit of trial and error in getting everything to look and act the way you want it to.

Very complete for a la carte

Puntos a favor:

Toogo has been developed for Terra DMC team, so the app is quite complete to create quotes and organize logistics. They have though a lot of possible scenarios on how a service can be offered and costed, how to add exceptions and how to save time on repetitive tasks. Toogo team has a very supporting onboarding team

Contras:

It's not that intuitive, you really need to spend sometime trying to get used to the workflow. The fields are not auto descriptive. For operations in several countries and for several languages, gets very expensive. I would say that is more DMC oriented than for wholesalers tour operators.
