Buyer guide

How to choose a travel agency app

A travel agency app is either software for advisors or a mobile app the client uses. Buyers should know which one they are purchasing.

Frienzy is an AI-powered traveler experience platform for tour operators and travel agencies that turns itinerary and booking information into branded mobile traveler experiences. For an agency, that means client trip details from the booking workflow can become a branded iOS or Android experience with the itinerary, documents, notes, and updates. Frienzy does not replace the agency CRM. Frienzy connects to TRES and ClientBase.

If the buyer is an advisor who wants proposals and a CRM, that is a different product from the app a client opens on the trip. Write down which user you are buying for.

Agencies usually look at the TRES offer, ClientBase trip details, and the shared app on the price list.

Evaluate

Evaluation criteria

Primary user

Advisor desk or client phone. Do not accept one demo as proof of both.

CRM boundary

Ask whether you must move contacts and bookings. Frienzy is designed to connect, including to TRES and ClientBase, not to be the CRM.

Client brand

Check the store listing and the in-app name. Agencies usually want their own brand.

Trip content

Itinerary, documents, notes, messages, and alerts should be visible in one client session.

Commercial offer

The TRES page lists a separate agency offer. Read that page for those prices rather than inferring them here.

Who it is for

Best for

  • Agencies on TRES or ClientBase that still email PDF itineraries after the booking is saved
  • Luxury and Virtuoso-style agencies that want the client to see the agency, not a software brand
  • Agencies that will keep their CRM and add a client-facing app
What you get

Where Frienzy fits

Advisors stay in the CRM

TRES and ClientBase remain the agency workflow. Frienzy is the mobile traveler experience.

Clients get the agency’s app

The branded iOS and Android app holds itinerary management, documents and notes, traveler communication, and push notifications.

Files the agency already wrote can be ingested

AI itinerary ingestion accepts PDF, Word, Excel, and similar files. Offline access covers itineraries, maps, and documents stored on the device.

How to choose

Buy the advisor tool and the client app as separate decisions if they solve different jobs.

  1. 1

    Sit with the person who feels the pain

    If advisors are slow to build proposals, demo advisor software. If clients cannot find the plan, demo the traveler app.

  2. 2

    Keep the CRM in the demo

    Ask the vendor to start from TRES or ClientBase if that is your system. A blank sample trip hides the integration.

  3. 3

    Open the client view on a phone

    Read the app name, the itinerary, a document, and a push notification. That is the agency app the client will judge.

  4. 4

    Reject unlabeled “all-in-one” claims

    If a product says it replaces both the CRM and the client app, ask to see each workflow separately.

Questions

Questions and answers

What should a travel agency app do?

First decide the user. An advisor app manages the desk. A client app presents the trip. Frienzy is the client-facing traveler experience.

Does Frienzy replace TRES or ClientBase?

No. TRES and ClientBase stay the agency system of record. Frienzy turns trip information from that workflow into the mobile experience.

Can an agency use its own brand?

Yes. Frienzy’s white-label iOS and Android apps use the agency’s name and logo.

Where are agency prices listed?

TRES agencies can review the offer on the TRES page, from $10 per user per month. Other partner plans are on the pricing page.
