TripSuite’s platform replaces legacy software, according to the company, which claims agencies that have been using the platform are booking more than $1 billion in travel for their clients each year and are saving upwards of 20 hours weekly on back-end tasks by using it. Clients includes Cadence Travel, Brownell Travel and Avenue Two Travel.
“Agencies and advisors are the backbone of the travel economy, and they deserve technology that matches their ambition,” said Gaurav Tuli, partner at F-Prime Capital. “TripSuite is delivering the platform agencies need to lead the future of travel, empowering them to innovate, grow, and provide exceptional experiences for their clients.”
Tuli spoke about the state of investments at Phocuswright Europe in Barcelona in June during a studio interview with PhocusWire. During the interview, he and Anna Schneider, senior research and intelligence analyst at Lufthansa Innovation Hub, discussed investment trends and touched on the importance of adapting to create a modernized experience and operational efficiency.
