The excitement has been steadily building and now, after nearly 2\u00bd years in development, Travelyst has been released to the market!<\/p>\n<p>Travelyst is designed to manage the complete business process of a tour or travel operator, from initial client contact through to sales. With a tightly integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module especially created for the travel industry, Travelyst offers a unique product to the Travel and Tour Operator in both the wholesale and retail spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Travelyst has been battle-tested in a live production environment throughout its development and testing phase\u00a0and has won high praise from its users.

Generic CRM solutions don\u2019t have enough travel-specific functionality to support integration into itinerary building and the highly iterative quotations and consulting process that occurs when selling travel products.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re very excited about Travelyst, because this is where Travelyst shines! We\u2019ve hired additional staff to specifically support the implementation and rollout of Travelyst and we are engaged with planning some significant implementations in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>\u00a0\u201cTravelyst makes the process so quick and streamlined for us; <strong>the copy and paste of the PNR is the best invention EVER!\u201d \u2013 <\/strong>Shona Pittaway, Managing Director, Perfect Destinations.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>ViaData<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>ViaData has been working in the tour operator business since 2009 and we know the travel business very well.\u00a0 Travelyst is currently in use at 3 major tour operators across 10 brands in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>ViaData continually adds new functionality and features to Travelyst to keep the system current and to enhance the user experience and productivity of our clients.
