Flexitech Solutions launches exciting new Travel App for Tour Operators
Brand new white label travel application specifically designed to help tour operators improve customers’ travel experience and increase revenue growth.
FlexiTech Solutions will be using Travel Technology Europe to launch its exciting new product ‘The Travel App’ – a cutting edge, travel application specifically designed for tour operators. Available as an integrated web and mobile white-label solution, The Travel App utilises state of the art technology and innovative design to bring together a wide range of easy-to-use tools to enhance the customers’ travel experience and create new opportunities for revenue growth.
The app focuses on the post-booking client experience and allows tour operators to communicate key travel information such as itineraries, travel news and tour updates to its customers via a single, easy-to-use app.
The app also acts as a powerful digital marketing platform from which companies can directly engage their client base from the moment a trip is booked to promote relevant value-adding goods and services.
Equipped with a wide range of handy travel tools such as offline maps, live weather reports, social media, destination guides, budget trackers, currency calculators, language guides, bill sharing, people connect and much more. The Travel App is the ultimate digital companion for all travellers and a must for travel companies who take client experience seriously.
“It’s no secret that travellers have become frustrated with the excessive amount of paper and email-based information packs they receive from tour operators and travel agents alike” comments Ashish Sahasrabuddhe, Co-Founder and Marketing Director, FlexiTech Solutions
“I went on an escorted tour 12 years ago and not a great deal has changed in the way tour operators communicate travel information to their customers, while at the same time the changes in technology have been immense.
With that in mind, we have developed The Travel App to allow tour operators and other travel companies to take full advantage of the advances in technology and provide their customers with an own branded, multi-device, digital travel solution that not only improves their customers’ travel experience but also creates new opportunities for revenue growth”
Whether you are a small, medium or large sized tour operator, focusing on youth, adventure or luxury style holidays, The Travel App can be adapted and developed to meet the needs of your specific customer base. Travel companies are free to take the white label solution as is, or request bespoke changes to add features that better reflect the needs of their customers.

Azure Collection to roll out Dolphin tour operator technology
Luxury specialist invests in new booking and back-office systems to support business growth
Chester based tour operator Azure Collection has revealed plans to roll out Dolphin technology across its business. Offering tailor made luxury holidays for both families and couples around the world, as well as Spa Retreats, Gastronomy themed holidays City and Golfing Breaks, the new system will provide Azure with an end-to-end booking, contract management and back-office technology platform.
Azure sales consultants will use Dolphin to quickly search, price, quote and book both contracted accommodation and ancillary products, as well as inventory sourced live from Galileo and through many other partnerships. Thus enabling Azure Collection to boost sales by offering optimal travel products to their customers from multiple sources via a single Dolphin sales journey.
Dolphin’s product database will be used to manage the company’s directly negotiated supplier contracts. While Dolphin’s additional modules including CRM, accounting, reporting, workflow management and customer documentation production will deliver further efficiencies throughout the business.
Commenting on the technology investment, Edward Leigh, Chairman at Azure Collection said, “Choosing a strategic technology partner was a very important part of our planning to drive future business growth. Dolphin will help us to join up operational activities right across our business, providing opportunities for us to further focus on delivering exceptional customer service and achieving strong sales growth.”
Andy Mills, Head Of Sales and Marketing at Dolphin Dynamics added, “We are very pleased to welcome Azure as our latest tour operator customer. For tour operators and tailor made agents, Dolphin empowers sales consultants while driving productivity gains throughout the business which allows travel companies to improve product quality and offer a superior service.”
Dolphin Dynamics focuses on Italian tour operators to lead European expansion
Company founder Roberto Da Re to head-up regional sales and marketing activities
Dolphin Dynamics has revealed plans to focus on the European expansion of its tour operating customer base, with Italy and other key markets in focus for 2015.
Distribution of the tour operating platform will be handled directly by Dolphin Dynamics with company founder, Roberto Da Re, taking overall responsibility for sales and marketing within the territory. The existing Italian office in Torino will continue to be supported by the UK headquarters. Under the new arrangement, Dolphin Italia will continue to distribute the Dolphin mid and back office product to travel agencies from its office in Padova.
Da Re commented, “Our product and project experts are based in the UK, which is recognised as one of the most advanced tour operator markets in Europe. By leveraging that know how, we feel that we can bring expertise into the local markets. Over the last 5 years the UK has seen a dramatic increase of travel agents migrating to a hybrid agency and ‘self tour operating’ model with many making the full transition to tour operators, and we have developed our platform in support of that. Italy is no doubt on the same evolutionary path and therefore offers considerable growth opportunity.”
Dolphin Dynamics has enjoyed considerable success in the last 12 months, signing up a number of the UKs’s leading tour operators. Already well established in Europe, Dolphin Dynamics list Bluevacanze, Bravofly and eDreams among their existing customers. Da Re again, “For those medium to large companies willing to invest the Dolphin Dynamics tour operating platform has the potential to be transformational.”
