Fleet software for tour and travel operators

Schedule tour and transfer vehicles, keep multi-stop days in one trip, track every run, and invoice travel customers, with invoices posted to Catalyst.

Free for up to 2 vehicles. No card needed.

A tour operator's trips on one board: airport transfers and intercity runs, each with its date, route, fare and status, from active to completed.

How do tour and travel operators use Odobase?

Tour and travel operators use Odobase to run the transport side of their bookings: airport transfers, day tours and multi-stop itineraries. Each job is a trip with a driver, a vehicle and its planned stops, paused and resumed between legs, tracked live, and invoiced to the customer. Agencies using the Catalyst back office can post invoices to Catalyst.

What Odobase does for tour and travel

What transport work does a travel operator run?

Airport arrivals and departures, hotel transfers, city tours, intercity trips and multi-day itineraries. Each needs the right vehicle and driver at the right time, and each has to be billed to the right booking.

How do you run tours and transfers in Odobase?

Every job is a scheduled trip with a pickup, its stops, a destination, time, customer, driver and vehicle. On tours with stops, the driver pauses and resumes the trip in the driver app at each stop, so distance and time reflect driving rather than sightseeing. Your team follows running trips on the live map.

How does billing work for travel customers?

Completed trips become lines on an invoice for the customer, each filled in from the trip’s fare plus any expenses you charge on, such as tolls or parking. Agencies that keep their books in Catalyst, a travel back-office system, can post issued invoices to Catalyst from Odobase. Each posting is started deliberately by someone on your team, and Odobase records its outcome so an invoice is never posted twice.

Frequently asked questions

Get in touch

How does Odobase handle a day tour with several stops?

The tour is one trip, with its stops planned on the route. The driver pauses it at each stop and resumes it for the next leg, recording the odometer each time, so the trip’s distance and time are accurate and the vehicle can be released between legs if needed.

Can a multi-day itinerary stay on one booking?

Yes. A trip can stay paused overnight and resume the next morning. While paused it holds neither the driver nor the vehicle, and its distance and time count only the driving. You can also book each day as its own trip.

Can Odobase post invoices to our travel back office?

If your agency uses Catalyst, Odobase can post issued invoices to it. Each posting is started by a person on your team and its result is recorded, so nothing is sent twice. Contact us to switch the integration on.

Can our drivers use the app on tours outside the city?

Yes. If the phone loses signal, the app keeps recording positions and uploads them when it reconnects, so the route is complete.
