Our quotation system can handle very complex situations and yet it is very simple to use. System can generate multiple options based on the following options:

  • Seasonal pricing - Define your prices differently based on seasons of the year or contracted period, day of the week, or time period that the service is unavailable.

  • Currency rate conversion - Configure your local currency and sales currency ratios

  • Conditions - Configure conditions such as rooming levels, guide languages dynamically and provide different prices for each condition, or include/exclude services based on these conditions

  • Amount variables - Dynamically configure what amount of the service items you need based on how many participants are traveling. You can get even more specific with how many adults or children, or staff type such as guide or cook
