Wayfare — Tourism Operations & Finance

Wayfare helps tour operators and travel companies manage everyday work in one clear, role-based workspace. Keep traveller requests organized, prepare accurate quotes, turn accepted quotes into bookings, share detailed itineraries, issue invoices and receipts, record payments, and track operating expenses without making staff learn accounting software.

FROM ENQUIRY TO COMPLETED TRIP
• Keep client and trip enquiry details together, with a view of each customer’s previous and current engagements.
• Build itemized quotations from the company service catalogue or use a single all-in trip price while still listing the included activities.
• Calculate suggested quantities from trip dates and travellers, while keeping relevant quantities editable.
• Move accepted quotations into booking, itinerary, and invoicing workflows.
• Create flexible day-by-day itineraries with multiple timed activities per day and printable guest information.

CLEAR MONEY TRACKING
• Issue invoices and record incoming payments with printable receipts.
• Record trip and business expenses with supplier, category, amount, and supporting details.
• See practical operational totals and activity summaries in a dashboard designed for non-accountants.

TEAM AND DAILY OPERATIONS
• Assign staff roles and permissions for trip management, money, and sensitive actions.
• Keep an audit trail of important changes.
• Use the calendar for automatically surfaced trips and deadlines as well as manually added events.
• Send in-house messages between staff.
• Maintain suppliers, stays, vehicles, services, and customer records.

MADE TO FIT EACH COMPANY
