Managing Customer Data in Zoho CRM

The highly flexible and configurable nature of Zoho CRM means that we can customise the software to match your business. We can customise the software to include all of the relevant fields of information that you need in your travel business in order to store information on customers, such as their contact details, passport and insurance details, flight schedule, hotel name and so on. We also use the CRM to upload images of the client experience and give them access to their own data visa the CRM portal.

Marketing Using Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns & Zoho Survey

Use Zoho CRM to carry out various marketing campaigns both online and offline and utilise Zoho Campaigns and Zoho Social for things like social and email marketing activities, which integrate to the CRM. Also use it for customer feedback and service improvement surveys using Zoho Survey, which can be completed online and synchronise back to the CRM.

Booking Management Using Zoho Bookings

Zoho Booking software for the tourism business

Manage your booking easily with Zoho Bookings, where you can automate and track bookings on your computer and even on the go using the Zoho Bookings app. Stay on top of things using our shared internal calendars, which are automatically updated and can be used by everyone on your team. Using Zoho Bookings saves you hours of time by doing everything automatically, from displaying asset rentals and periods clearly on your calendar to full integration to other calendar apps, rescheduling and cancellation.


Use Zoho Booking to receive bookings for our scheduled tours. Setup various tours along with all of the details then schedule them accordingly and accept online bookings from customers. The booking calendar can be embedded in our website for a seamless experience and all of the tour guides know what they are doing on a day to day basis.


Accounting Using Zoho Books

Zoho CRM also integrates to Zoho's finance software, Zoo Book. So when the time comes to convert leads to sales, and when we need to invoice customers, we can even integrate that to Zoho Books to produce attractive invoices which can be paid online; and payment tracking is built into the software as well, alerting us as soon as an invoice gets paid or if payments are outstanding.

Business Intelligence Using Zoho Analytics

Claudia loves Zoho Analytics online business business intelligence software for tourism businesses

Zoho business apps can all be integrated seamlessly to ZOho Analytics, Zoho's powerful online BI software.


The end result of all of these apps in the Zoho software platform can be consolidated into Zoho Analytics which allows us to create meaningful dashboards and reports in a central location which we use to analyse and discuss changes to processes, strategy and improvements.       


Zoho Analytics is a powerful tool which not only consolidates data from all of our Zoho apps but also allows us to pull in data from other systems that we use, for example in SQL or CSV format, so it really is a centralised business intelligence platform.

Customer Support

Dedicated Customer Support

Customer support is a key part in any tourism focused business. Make sure that your customers are getting the best service possible with Zoho's support portals. Centralised support tickets, single support emails, help articles and FAQs are all great ways to support customers and keep them happy and satisfied. You'll have all of these and more at your disposal when you use Zoho for your business.

Integration to Existing Systems

Of course, we understand many tour operators and other businesses in the tourism sector have existing systems, some of which are mandated by governments and other authorities.  Zoho CRM's open API allows it to communicate with any other software system so you can maintain both applications seamlessly together. For example, Bookeo is a popular tour booking application, which can be integrated to Zoho CRM to manage all of your contacts and carry out more targeted and complex email marketing and social marketing campaigns, survey and more.

Data Security

Obviously data security is absolutely critical for our industry and Zoho's platform is built using the most modern and up-to-date software security measures such as 128 bit data encryption and more. Users of the system are controlled in a central location because we use the Zoho One platform which means our IT team can set password policies and multi-factor authentication on mobile devices. Zoho themselves even have extremely tight world class security measures in place at multiple data centres around the world such as biometrics, earthquake proof buildings and employee screening.

Expand Your Business with Zoho One

The thing we have noticed most about Zoho since we implemented the various apps is how it has allowed us to expand our teams and rapidly scale up business operations. Once the infrastructure has been configured in the Zoho applications, users can be added at any time in any app and then by using Zoho One we administer all users from a central location and simply assign them the software they need to use. All of the data they process in the specific application is monitored by themselves and their managers and then consolidated into Zoho Analytics for management at higher levels.
