Today we hit a major milestone just in time for Christmas. We launched Tripz v6.5 to our existing customers.

Christmas is about giving and sharing

This is the culmination of 4 months of hard work by our team to bring a number of core feature enhancements to the Tripz platform. At the highest level we have added:

• Full handling of complimentaries to the Tourbuilding process
• Automatic handling of online agent bookings with commissions, taxes and the production of net rate invoices
• New Business Rules Module for handling complicated tax charging and rebating scenarios in Canada
• Automatic quantity checking for fixed cost items when quoting groups of different sizes
• New Document Management System in Tripz via integration with Google Apps

With this release Tripz is truly becoming an enterprise-class tour management system for the small and medium-sized operator.  You now have a system that can manage all of the key areas of automation. And with the addition of document management and the automatic handling of comps there are substantial cost savings that you will realize by using Tripz.

Consider this as our Christmas gift to our valued clients who have helped us to get where we are today.

Cheers,

I am pleased to announce that we have a brand spanking new Document Management System in Tripz.  Instead of reinventing the wheel and relying on older ways of doing things we are providing you with a modern-style document management system that uses the Internet, or what some call “The Cloud,” for document storage.

We have integrated Tripz with Google Docs, the online document and collaboration management system from Google. This is the hottest document system on the planet right now and it allows you to do things that you couldn’t do with older technology. You can create a document, spreadsheet or presentation from within Tripz using Google Apps, save a document as a PDF file and link it to your tour and contact information in Tripz.

You can link a document to:

• A customer contact
• A customer organization
• A group
• A vendor contact
• A vendor organization
• An agent contact
• An agent organization
• A tour

This was a big feature request from existing and prospective customers that we have now fulfilled. So you can now do more work in one place in Tripz and link all of your key documents to the vital tour and contact information you work with everyday.

Cheers,
