01
Please tell us about yourself in the context of your software and give a brief intro to the software.
I’ve spent the past 15 years helping complex products find commercial clarity, particularly in B2B environments where trust, positioning, and operational fit determine adoption.<div><br></div><div>My background spans enterprise automotive brands and hands-on SaaS leadership, and in recent years I’ve focused on scaling remote-first B2B software businesses into credible, profitable growth companies </div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 0.9375rem;">What I think is important today is aligning execs, product and sales around a value narrative that is straightforward, credible and profitable. There's a mixture of art and science involved in positioning for ambitious tech companies. Building a credible brand that shows ambition and thought leadership whilst not overpromising at any one point in time. Then managing that positioning upward as you grow. </span></div><div><br></div><div>At TourConnect AI, we build practical AI copilots for destination management companies and inbound tour operators. Our core product, Itinerary Assist AI, helps reservations teams construct structured travel itineraries directly inside their existing booking systems. The objective is straightforward: increase operational capacity and speed while preserving the expertise and relationships that define great inbound travel businesses.</div>
02
What was the core reason behind developing this software?
The starting point was operational friction.<div><br></div><div>B2B travel remains heavily fragmented. Reservations teams move between emails, spreadsheets, supplier portals, booking systems, and internal notes just to construct a single itinerary. A large share of consultant time is absorbed by administrative quoting tasks.</div><div><br></div><div>Underneath that is a deeper structural reality. The industry runs on layered legacy systems built and customised over decades. Data quality varies. Suppliers use different formats, blackout rules, and rate structures. Teams often manually adjust itineraries simply to reconcile those differences before they can even send a proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>We saw AI as uniquely suited to operate across that complexity.</div><div><br></div><div>Through APIs and increasingly intelligent orchestration layers, AI can merge with existing infrastructure rather than forcing it to be replaced. Itinerary Assist AI was built as a practical first step in that direction. Strengthen the workflow. Reduce friction. Lay the groundwork for a more connected B2B travel ecosystem.</div>
03
How is your software different from other alternatives available in the market? How does it benefit your customers?
TourConnect AI builds around existing workflows.<div><br></div><div>Operations teams have refined their processes over many years. They deliver exceptional bespoke travel experiences, often for very demanding travellers. Much of what they do already works.</div><div><br></div><div>The objective was not to introduce disruption for its own sake.</div><div><br></div><div>Many SaaS platforms require businesses to migrate fully into new tools because they appear cleaner or demo well. We take a different approach. AI is applied as an infrastructure layer across the booking system or CRM the DMC already uses.</div><div><br></div><div>That means teams retain their operational knowledge and supplier nuance while AI accelerates itinerary construction, reinforces pricing logic, and reduces repetitive manual steps.</div><div><br></div><div>The benefit is leverage without upheaval. Faster responses. Greater capacity. Stronger margin control. All inside familiar systems.</div>
04
Which industries do you cover in general? Are there any specific industries that are more beneficial using your software?
Our primary focus is destination management companies and inbound tour operators managing FIT travel and complex multi-supplier programs.<div><br></div><div>These businesses operate with high operational complexity and lean teams, which creates strong leverage for AI-assisted workflows.</div><div><br></div><div>There is also relevance in specialist tour operators and experiential travel providers. However, DMC environments present the clearest operational return because itinerary construction, pricing accuracy, and response speed are so commercially significant.</div>
05
What are the core features of your software that make your product stand out in the competitive market?
Several elements stand out for customers:<div><br></div><div>Deep integration into existing booking systems rather than operating as a disconnected AI layer</div><div><br></div><div>Structured rate logic that includes safeguards such as custom markups on expired rates, ensuring quoting continuity even when suppliers have not yet updated pricing </div><div><br></div><div>Flexibility at company and partner level to reflect real-world commercial relationships and pricing strategies</div><div><br></div><div>Workflow continuity features that allow teams to maintain booking momentum even when data gaps occur</div><div><br></div><div>These capabilities are less about surface features and more about operational reliability. That reliability builds trust.</div>
06
How do you justify the value of your software compared to its cost?
Value has to be grounded in measurable outcomes.<div><br></div><div>Customers typically evaluate impact through time saved per itinerary, increased quoting capacity, and improved pricing consistency. Many teams are seeing itinerary creation times reduced significantly, in some cases by 60 to 80 percent.</div><div><br></div><div>Beyond efficiency, the ability to maintain quoting momentum when supplier data is incomplete protects both conversion rates and client confidence.</div><div><br></div><div>When productivity, margin discipline, and responsiveness improve together, the return on investment becomes clear.</div>
07
How will you keep up with new technology and customer requirements?
AI is advancing rapidly, and sustainable adoption requires focus.<div><br></div><div>We stay closely connected to operational users and incorporate improvements based on real workflow feedback. Innovation must translate into practical gains.</div><div><br></div><div>Aligning product development with commercial reality remains central to our approach. Progress is measured through adoption, efficiency gains, and customer retention rather than feature volume.</div>
08
Where will you see your software in the next 10 years, and what are your future plans for that?
B2B travel does not operate in isolation. It sits within broader technology shifts and platform dynamics.<div><br></div><div>The industry attracts strong personalities and has a culture that can feel distinct. At the same time, there is a clear structural dynamic between large online travel platforms and the rest of the ecosystem. OTAs benefit from scale and technical leverage. AI is understandably seen as a capability that could influence that balance.</div><div><br></div><div>We are now entering a period of rapid acceleration in AI adoption across nearly every business function.</div><div><br></div><div>Within a few years, AI-assisted itinerary creation and structured operational automation will likely become standard across much of the sector. It will not feel novel. It will feel expected.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking further ahead, agent-to-agent coordination across booking systems and supplier networks becomes realistic. Less manual orchestration. More intelligent interaction between systems.</div><div><br></div><div>At an individual level, professionals may use AI daily almost like a chief-of-staff layer. Supporting analysis, drafting, refinement, and execution through simple, trusted interfaces that manage complexity behind the scenes.</div><div><br></div><div>Our focus is clear. Ensure inbound businesses and their software partners become stronger through AI, expanding their technological leverage while preserving the relationships and expertise that define the industry.</div>
09
What steps are you taking to adapt your product for a mobile-driven world?
Operational systems in travel are traditionally desktop-centric, but work patterns are evolving.<div><br></div><div>We are prioritising high-value mobile touchpoints such as approvals, notifications, and quick itinerary adjustments. This enables responsiveness without compromising control or data integrity.</div>
10
What are your efforts for maintaining software integrity and regulatory compliance?
We maintain strict customer data separation, transparent AI interaction policies, and alignment with various privacy requirements.
11
Could you explain how you create and sustain healthy relationships with your customers?
We maintain direct dialogue with operational leaders, invite structured feedback into roadmap discussions, and approach deployments as partnerships.
12
What is the biggest challenge that you have faced, and how did you overcome it to make your software successful?
Some organisations expect immediate transformation, while others approach cautiously. Sustainable adoption requires measurable operational gains and clear positioning.<div><br></div><div>By aligning product development, commercial messaging, and customer collaboration around practical outcomes, we have built credibility steadily within the DMC sector </div><div><br></div><div>In travel, credibility compounds over time.</div>

Itinerary Assist AI is an AI copilot designed specifically for the operational realities of Destination Management Companies (DMCs) and inbound tour operators. Built to work within existing workflows, it enables travel consultants to create structured, priced itineraries directly from enquiry emails, briefs, and supporting documents—removing repetitive manual steps from the quoting process.
Rather than operating as a standalone tool, Itinerary Assist AI integrates directly with established reservation systems, including Tourplan, as well as proprietary environments. This ensures AI-generated itineraries flow cleanly into operational systems without forcing teams to change how they work or replace existing technology.
The platform is designed to support experienced consultants, not replace them. By automating administrative tasks such as interpreting enquiries, structuring services, and applying rules, Itinerary Assist AI allows teams to focus on quality, customisation, and client service. This leads to faster response times, improved consistency, and the ability to scale itinerary production without increasing operational overhead.
Used by a growing global base of DMCs, Itinerary Assist AI is built for production use in complex, high-touch travel operations where accuracy, control, and reliability are critical.
