DMS iTOS In-Bound Tour Operating System

   PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DMSiTOS is a fully integrated reservation, accounting and management information system specially designed for the tour operator market. It is modular in design, with simple user friendly screens.

DMSiTOS has been designed using modern development tools to operate in an open system environment. The system is highly flexible, multi-functioning and can cope with both outbound and inbound tour operating requirements.

The reservation system operates quickly and simply. A key feature of the booking screens is that whether for a package, single service or complex itinerary booking, the screen design remains the same and shows the selling price, the cost and the resultant margin.

The operations module prints all standard documentation such as invoices, confirmations, itineraries, quotations and vouchers.

All reports can be viewed or printed and all allow the comparison of current data with the previous year’s performance or costs in order to compare margins.

All quotations and provisional, confirmed and invoiced booking data are collected and passed automatically to post-tour-costing.

Transport Management System is used to manage transport related activities in the Tour -operations. It consists of vehicle allocation process, which allocates vehicles to transport requisitions, generation and maintenance of log sheets, maintenance of fleet details etc.
